3.8 RS vs current 991s (GT cars)

[GarageQueen]

Ok, I've read all the reviews and know a little bit from my experience with the 997 GT3, but looking for some experiences on driving the 3.8 RS vs the current crop of 991s (GT cars).

My perception is the 3.8 RS is harder work to get the balance right on the road, the gearshift needs positive inputs and there's generally a bit more going on. The 991s however seem to have moved the game on significantly in terms of agility, balance and performance.

I hold two particular reservations about the 997 cars - understeer and relative lack of torque.

But in all seriousness, the two cars the OP is considering are two very differing propositions. Drive both and then report back with your findings.

I expected someone would say that, but wanted to have a debate first, and in reality what can we really learn from a quick test drive nowadays? Could always go on a experience day I guess.

Then again in a 991 RS vs GT4 review by Walter the GT4 won again and the car he would take home.

got to say the size of the GT4 on the road makes its very attractive for me also
