Pretty car, matches my 997.2 GT Silver GT3 which is for sale.

S2020

me too. thinking about it once in a while but always "in the future".
of course I'd have to get an NSX first...

Thank you so much! This was my first Porsche. Many really love the 911 Turbo and my brother has one in fact, but I had no real interest in any of the models other than the GT3/GT4.... Because I track the s2000 I am used to the front engine rear wheel drive layout and how it handles at the limit. The gt3 definitely handles differently and takes some adjustment. The clutch is also super heavy relative to the s2000 and other sports cars I have owned.

Nice--love your NSX. I subscribed to your channel--check mine out as I am about to add Splitter installation and trunk reinforcement DIYs. I have a rear wing DIY up as well.

Snowmants

Thank you!!! Yours looks great too!

Holy sh*t the GT3 is so gorgeous it aches my heart

Snowmants

Thanks man! May be for sale soon--I have a hankering for something American with bigger displacement

Haha what do you have in mind? I've been in a c6 z06 for over a year now and loving it. I drive my brother's 997 c2s from time to time and indeed, there is no substitute for the driving experience. I have only sat in and rowed the gears in a 997.2 gt3 and each gear clicked into gate so positively I didn't want to get out of the vehicle lmao. Can't imagine a gt3's turn-in and corner exit grip when the C2S is already sooooo good...I liked the 997's driving experience over the few 991.1 variants I've tested, including a 991.1 c2s (though I didn't get to really drive that one in anger in the twisties)

Sounds like you have more porsche experience than I do then! I have driven my dads 993 c2, a 996 c2, and then obviously my 997.1 gt3. My brother had a 996 turbo but unfortunately I never got to drive it.... The GT3 is loud, stiff, low, high revving, and (relatively) light at 3,000lbs. All things I love in a car. Yes the steering feel is amazing, although the handling mid corner is a bit weird until you get used to it. It seems to be common trait amongst 911s where the tail steps out a tad and then sets in a corner as you stay on throttle. very strange and a bit unsettling the first few times. I also experienced a bit of understeer when I wasn't being smooth on corner entry--only on the street--I don't track this car as my s2000 is a dedicated track car. In terms of fun cars, have had an EVO 8, 9, and 10, 2 WRXs, turbo and NA s2000s, Nissan Silvia, VW GTI, E90 M3, and this 997 GT3 and the GT3 is definitely the best car I have owned to date. I have never had a large displacement american sports car and want to give that a shot. I am thinking C7 GS or Z06 or current gen Viper. I am leaning toward the GS/Z06 though....

Awesome! Very nicely done

I'm in love with the 997 GT3/GT3RS. Ugh. One day
