Noticed something interesting about the new 911 GT3...
S2000......GT3
2.0L.........4.0L
240hp......500hp
153tq.......336tq
Everything is almost exactly double. Cements the idea in my brain that a 6MT GT3 would be the perfect S2000 replacement. Where are those lotto tickets??

Today there are a lot of cars that are capable of producing some jaw dropping numbers. Yet they aren't drivers cars. The GT3 isn't the fastest, but its in the hunt. More importantly, its a serious drivers car.
Like the S, its also capable of non-winter dd duties (not arguing either isn't capable of winter dd, just wouldn't want to subject either to it).
Its near the top of my if I won the lottery list. The only thing that bothers me is I would want a topless fair weather dd.

That's why you keep the S2000!
The GT3 is a great idea and I suspect it will depreciate very little before prices start to rise, as manual transmission Porsches are getting to be a rare commodity.

Manual, lightest 911, no sound deadening, no A/C nor radio = 911R
Doesn't get anymore Analog and Pure than this. Too bad it's almost $200k lol

To be fair, the GT3 Touring wasn't a thing when the 911R was released. It's definitely something special.
I was hoping the 996 GT3 would stay in the 40's for another few years, but apparently it's not to be.

Still, there won't be enough made I suspect. Plus with the used market pricing, it's almost a wonder Porsche sports cars depreciate at all these days.
