And drove a 997GT3...............
DHinkle, you were right.
This was my 1st time driving one. I was one of the guys who joked about the stability management, the traction control (which can be easily turned off, I did not have it on at all during my drive) and the Sunroof.
I can easily tell you right now, that those things did not matter at all.
The 997GT3 is so much more refined, it feels the same, but it feels so much different at the same time. Turn in was great with the Sport Cups and they never allowed the car to loose grip even when I tried.
Power is great, even, and in the sweet spot over 5k it feels stronger than it's 996 older brother.
The sound is so much better. The newer interior is, well, newer and I really liked the suede wheel and shifter. The shifting linkage felt great compared to the 996 GT3 with a SSK. Not as notchy but equally as short.
Why did I do this.......?
I still love the 996GT3 (It is a very special car) but the 997GT3 has won a special place in my heart.
Those of you who have switched fro a 6 to a 7 know what I am talking about.

 

I can totally see you picking one up next year when production ends and prices stabilize.

 

at least when you move to a 997gt3 you can keep your screen name

 

so when you trading up luis? im jk. if your as good a driver as i hear, you in a 996 GT3 is still better than most in a 997 GT3.

 

I can too.

 

You don't think I planned it that way, do you?

 

I am actually going to get some side by side comparo's on video and Ill post them here of course.

 

Ahh yea. That means Luis's GT3 is moving to Knoxville

 

Tell your pops he was right on the $ Connor.

 

Edit: Got it..

Now..get to PMing my dad

 

No, his thoughts on the 6 vs the 7.

 

I do! I wonder if the GT3 will stop at the 998?

 

It better not.
The only thing that will make me feel like a man again would be a 3.8 kit.

 

One day a 997 GT3 will be mine. Just not tomorrow or the next day.
Prolly ~ 2 years from now.

 

Im scared to drive one as well Lu, I feel that I would be instantly sold!! GT3 is an amazing car in every way...
