I'm thinking of changing my 997.1 gt3 to a 991 Gt3
I have driving my mates 991GT3RS only when new so he was running it in. I'm concerned I may miss the old school feel of my 997 version. I do love the manual gearbox in mine. Have anyone upgraded and what are you views.
Thanks Darren

Two totally different cars. Depends really on what use you will be putting the car too.

Sounds like you would miss the 'manuel' gearbox in the 997 in which case don't change. For me, the superb PDK S gearbox suits the character of the 991 perfectly there is plenty of interaction with the car although many who haven't even driven the car will predictably no doubt be along soon in an attempt to dismiss this. biggrin:

I like 'manuels' AND PDK S btw and rate the GT4....perhaps a car you could consider. I personally prefer it to a 997 GT3.

You either want a manual or not, that must be clear in ones head, after that the choice is easy.
