Since the new gt3 is going to cost about £125k if lucky enough to secure one at list which is circa £10k more than the price of a very good example of a 997.2 gt3 it got me thinking would it not be a good alternative manual to the new manual GT3 for failed depositors ? And would it not seem quiet cheap when the new GT3 goes into overs hyperdrive? Could the older car actually be more fun as a manual road car especially with the close ratio box of a 997.2 RS ?
Although the 991.2 is all shiny and new is the older car the better car and end up being worth a lot more in the long term?
(As in better I do not mean quicker)

See I am a manual fan but I can't help thinking that the 991.2gt3 might be better suited to pdk and that manual might actually not suit ie tall first 3 gears! ( wonder if any ratios are out there yet?). Hence why mentioning the 997.2 gt3 with an RS gearbox with the lower ratios and the more analoge/mechanical feel

I with this new 6 speed manual, and a perfect partner to my Spyder, so the R and GT4 goes :-( but if I only had to have one car the R still wins for me, it has a place in my heart hence the only time I have bought the same car twice. One does not need to spend £130k to enjoy cars to the max.
My perfect 2 car garage has always been 987 spyder manual of course and the GT 4 ( as you know I have a problem with the CR with it being just a nice 987.2cs although still a very good car)
I now think if I had a chance of a 991.2 gt3 then i would take the pdk car and the 987.2 manual spyder but as I can only have/afford one P car then the gt4 is the one for me!
