I currently have a 996tt with a bunch of mods and honestly I am getting tired of spending go fast $ on it. I am really on the fence about selling it and looking to pick up a gt3. Is a 997gt3 that much better then the 996? I'd plan on using the car pretty much daily+ track unlike now where I keep it garaged since it's always getting something done. I have found a few 07's in the 70's but I know also saw a 04 for around 50. I know I'm crazy but at the end of the day how much better is the 997 gt3 vs 996?

 

if you already have 6gt3, keep it.
if you dont have any gt3, the 7 is MUCH better. no and if or buts.
but if you are a track junkie, a stripped 6 is better than a 7.

 

If you want to street drive it the 7 is MUCH BETTER.. for a track car the 6 Gt3 can be made to be just about as quick with proper gearing and setup.. If you are ONLY going to street drive the car you will be miserable without the low end TQ for the 996TT.. I enjoyed driving my tt 10x more than 997gt3 on the street.. you can use 8000rpm on the street but you can use TQ at 3500 all day every day..

Hey Mooty, I see you have some extensive knowlege on the 3 from your posts.

Here in Canada, the price difference is quite substantial. I don't have a 3 yet, but was leaning towards the 996 because of the no aids and lower $$.

Obviously the 997 gt3 should be better with the years of revisions... but for the $$ difference, is it THAT much better?

 

As far as I know he probably had more than 6 of them ... and still counting

 

I hate cars LOL

 

I love to hate cars.... been through 9 sports cars already and lots of $$$

They're like filthy hookers that look good and take all of our $$$$

 

then when you got nothing left, they take some more...

 

I have been through 31 cars in my life and yes some were fancy escorts and some crackhead hookers but i love cars LOL . Oh ya I'm 31 years old, I need help.

 

As people sais, the 997 are better as a daily

 

Not only is the 997 a better daily since its more refined, but IMO it just looks much better then a 996 3. No offense 6 owners! I will own a 996 one of these days, but until I have the funds to have both 997 it is for me.

 

and without them, you're a miserable !@#$

 

by better, i dont mean faster.
the two cars are about same lap time.
7 is more comfy on street but not soft.
6 on street.... i think i rather walk.

 

I hear you I'm turning 27.... I guess the first step is admitting you have a problem

 

That's totally understandable... I know the comfort issue.... but for overall $$ value @ $50k, wouldn't you think a 6GT3 has better value for the dollar than the 7GT3?

I also noticed when taking both out.... the 6 was a bit more twitchy and nervous (felt like I had to manhadle her to get the best performance) and the 7 felt more planted and firm being less nervous at the limit.

I do however, like the fact the 6 has no aids
