Yeah, the 6-speed isn't my issue, been driving manual my whole life. I'd actually prefer it if I'm going to stay in the p-car family.

As far as the GTR or CLK BS... I would have to have some time with both cars to see if its any different than driving the GT3 daily.

Thanks for chiming in guys, much appreciated.

i would keep the GT3 but looking for Turbo as an option. u got time to decide until u find the right car for the right number. just don't go out of ur way looking for a replacement. any given day i still think GT3 is a better driving experience than the Turbo.

GT3 is a far better driving experience I have owned a 997TT and this is not my fav of the Pcar line and the last I would consider. I daily drove my 997GT3 with no issue.

You could always go the luxury route and 2 or 3 years down the road and pick up another sports car if it suits you.

well i can at least give u some advice considering the nissan gtr: a good friend of mine (living in italy) always used to drive audi s cars. then he bought an gtr (terrible fast car) as he thought he could use it everyday just as he did before with the audis. well he loves the gtr, but as a daily driver it isn´t as he expected. the ride is hard, the car is low. he even got problems to drive in and out his garage. and in the winter (i dunno if thats relevant for u) it is useless. there is only one size of pirelli sottozero and they are damn expensive which doesn´t matter as it is too low to drive in snow anyways. apart from that: it seems like the gtr really isn´t that reliable. the engine just was replaced by a new one, as nissan said there was a factory mistake. of course that went on warranty but he didn´t have the car for some time etc. so i would say don´t go for the gtr as a dd. it is a fun car. but just to have a fun car u better stick with the gt3. hope that helps, greets

Thanks for chiming in Max. The GTR wasn't ever a real possibility for me... as I really never thought it could replace the p-car.

As of now, the mini is on its way to Dallas. I'll continue to drive the GT3 on these POS streets, while i list it for sale and see if I get any good offers.

Thanks guys.

I would suggest getting a cayenne turbo it's really the best of both worlds and you could easily dd it

Well, you can drive any 911 just about anywhere. Snow, road, dirt etc. But, considering you'll never do any of that in any car you buy (besides the road part), and want more comfort, a Turbo is a good choice. Or, you can go with Chris's offer. That's probably what I'd do. The Turbo is too tamed, but the C4S is a good compromise.
