Not taking anything away from the 4.0 but let's wait to see what Porsche does in the final iterations of the 991 GT3 series before calling the death-blow to real driving.
Agreed. I'm waiting for the ultimate 991 GT3 RS! As the jounalist said it will be a different car. Still, after the 3.8 experience, as I am racing around my new 4.0, I tend to agree with him: I'm driving a "legend" and very glad I was able to get one!..

ctr2 is an unknown quantity at this point
From what I understand, a brand new 4.0 resold at RAC in Dallas for very, very close to MSRP.

I don't think there is a comparison. I will drive one of the cars, and my wife will drive the other. And they are made that way.

Guess who thought this was a worthy comparison as well

911 Carrera S v 997 GT3
"The all-new 991-generation Porsche 911 is here, and in 394bhp Carrera S trim it’s as fast as the outgoing 997 GT3. But can it possibly be as much fun? Serial 911 buyer Chris Harris is the man to tell us
