I better off get a property and forget about these cars but if I was to get a GT car, the RS it is. I will pick a 997 GT3 RS over the 991 GT3.

Luckily you can pick up one that's been taken care of really well for <10K, unless you want one of the new ones, which are quite pricey.

I agree. I view the car as kind of pointless. To expensive to beat on a track and not as competent or beastly on the street as say a McLaren would be.

Yeah, they've gone up quite a bit in price over the years. I remember looking at the Ducati website while in college, and you could pick up a new Monster 600 for less than 7K then.

Here is the original video (it's in full color instead of partially B&W).

This is the epitome of "desirability" for me...

My cousin just got a 991 GT3 and he is not going to look twice on an M2 or GT4....

I can get a GT4 but I know I will be secretly thinking about the GT3 RS all the time...

Meanwhile, inside the GT4...

Good lord - that side view is legit awesome!

UpNcOmINg! · 03-16-2015, 06:04 PM

The way I love this car!!

I think there will be a premium asked on these even in the second hand market unfortunately, but I think I should own one.
Yeah. I will

i just had a thought. The Cayman GT4 has the GT3's front suspension and the M2 has the M3/M4's rear suspension.

Then you successfully pass "The Marshmellow Test" developed in the sixties by a Stanford professor (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/05/18/dont-2).

Levente_CSL · 03-17-2015, 10:53 AM

the 7:40 minute lap on the ring is striking for the Gt4. 10 seconds faster then the M3 CSL. amazing. and i do think thats the best looking porsche yet

Agree and disagree. I think $100K car is still too expensive to track regularly for most of us who can afford it.
