I got a Cayman this summer. 1st Pcar. Love it, but feel like I need more oumph (i probably don't but i feel as such)....
Prices on 997.2 GT3s seem to be falling pretty aggressivly, and the 991 gt3 is probably another year in the making. Are they a good buy now considering the new one will probably be a major step up vs the 997 in perf and price? Or they are too cheap to ignore and prices will fall less fast and somewhat stabilize (one can dream, no?) now that they're down 35%+ vs msrp?
Also, can it be daily driven in "traffic" or ill just want to die in there?

Thanks.

 

i wouldn't be too sure about the 991 gt3 being a way better car in the sense of what a gt3 should be...

 

Go GT3, the new Cayman is coming soon, so you'll probably lose money anyways.

Good point. Sell the Cayman before the new one comes out. GT3 is hardcore. I've been driven in one and it was a raw feeling. Really cool.

 

The prices of GT3's has been the same for over a year. They aren't dropping. GT3's hold value better than most all cars after the initial first owner. Yes you can daily drive it. Just be ready, once you start, there is no turning back.

 

Go GT3 or RS all the way. If you love motorsports and desire a drivers car then GT3 is the answer.
Sell the Cayman and get a GT3/RS. Drive the piss out of it and when the 991GT3 comes re-evaluate your position.
Best of luck

 

I have a similar debate; have had a 993 for 6 months. I'm considering selling it (hopefully for a modest profit) and getting a 997.1 GT3 after my next bonus. I love my car, which is similar in size/footprint and straight line performance to a 987, but I would like a bit more pace. I have driven a 997.2 GT3, and it would be totally fine for DD IMO. I DD my 993, which has far fewer creature comforts, stiff clutch, etc. My only worry about driving it in traffic is oil temp and cooling, a relative non-issue on a GT3.

Lots of rumors about the new GT3, and I'm really on the fence about how it will turn out. It will be quicker around a track, sure, but that will be at the expense of some of the characteristics that define the GT3 (Mezger, 6MT only, few nannies, etc.)


Great point.

 

Driving one and being a passenger is like sitting on the bed watching someone else fvckjng and saying you had a great time. Lol

 

I didn't read the thread, but my answer to the thread title is GT3 it.

 

Show me a GT3 MK II selling for 35% under its original MSRP.

Thats mid 70's for a no option car....
