991.2 GT3 v 991.2 TTS
Discussion
For those that have tried both, would you be kind enough to comment.
Looking for feedback in relation to how they compare for road use:
- Ride quality
- Sense of occasion
- Power delivery
- Back road A-B hacking
Ease of use, practicality, cost difference is not an issue, just looking for something that will tantalise my senses!!
Need to make a decision next week and don't have the opportunity to drive either.
Hardly first world problems and will take a punt either way. ....... but, always happy and sensible to canvas for opinions

I sold my.2 TTs earlier this year and now have a .2 GT3 (also had a 991.1 GT3). The cars are very different, ride quality is far harder in the GT3, sense of occasion - GT3 wins that for me by a fair margin, far more purposeful IMHO. The TTs delivers immense acceleration in most conditions due to the 4wd, you have to tippy-toe in the GT3 in cold damp/wet conditions but in the summer when the tyres are up to temp the grip is also immense. A-B hacking would heavily depend on the conditions if you want ultimate speed point to point, my choice would always be the GT3, just love this car.Looking for feedback in relation to how they compare for road use:

The TTs if far more practical due to the 4 seats, no cage, softer suspension, 4wd etc etc.
GT3 all the way for me.

Is your GT3 PDK?GT3 all the way for me.
Interesting comparison OP.
I have had various TTS up to the gen 1 also PDK 991 GT3 and 991.2 GT3 'manuel' arriving soon.
I think broadly it depends how hard-core and involving you want the car to be and secondly how you like the power delivery ....... I much prefer the linear delivery of na and much higher 9k rev limit of the Gt3 with all accompanying delightful aurals.
Awesome car that the TTS is, imo it is too detached snd heavy as a drivers car to bond fully with. Many call it nuclear detachment and the next turbo is rumoured to be 640bhp! But on a winding wet road the TTS has few piers although on dry B roads the GT3 will definitely keep up and you will have much more fun challenge and involvement from a driving perspective in the process.
It appears that the gen 2 GT3 is even more hard-core than the gen 1 (part by way of less insulation and part different engine) but to me this is the whole point of the car although it will not suit everyone who may find associated noise intrusion wearing especially if used to relatively quiet cars of which the TTS is one.
Both great cars and hope you make the right choice.

So how much are you prepared to pay for a 991.2 GT3 on the 2nd hand market? Looking for feedback in relation to how they compare for road use:

Good point, the two cars can’t be compared from a current market value price point. Spanking new TTs with a few options £150 ish k, good low mileage £130k Ish.
.2 GT3 2nd hand £170k + (who knows! They are all sold under the radar). You’ll take a bath on the TTs and probably on the GT3 if you buy now at market value.
Your choice but if seriously wanted one of the two, I would pay overs for the GT3 or take a good look at a good spec GT3.1, they a are looking good value against the .2

Thank you all for your input, insights and feedback. Very much appreciated
I have a March TTS slot and April GT3, so just need to choose.
Additionally, I’m overseas, where emissions tax flattens the cost difference between the two.
Very much a case of pick your poison!!
Will have another read through tomorrow, but gut is telling me TTS.

For me the 991.2 GT3 is the car for my fantasy garage. Maybe in a few years.
If you're not concerned with practicality but want a turbo that provides a sense of occassion try something like this:

Basically , you do get to choose - very simple - order GT3 and if you don’t like it you’ll be able to give it back without losing a penny ; then buy a TTS - try it the other way around and you’ll loose lots of money in immediate depreciation - either way IMHO the GT3 is a far more interesting and engaging proposition. I have driven a 991.1 TTS and a 991 .1 GT3 - GT3 is pure perfection - found the TTS boring - all just IMO I have a March TTS slot and April GT3, so just need to choose.

Not strictly true, I sold my TTS.2 for a good profit after 7k miles, I'm just hoping the GT3 is as good as people are saying because I can't see how a GT3 will be as quick as a turbo, point to point.......Lovely situation to be it

After 4 x 991 Turbo S over 4 years and best part of 100k Miles all brought new, I would have to agree with this. The least deprecating cars I have ever owned. As for the OP. If you can I would push and try an get both a TTS and GT3. They really are 2 very different cars. From when the 991 first came out I have ran a TTS side by side as DD with the likes of 991GT3s and RSs.
Mmmmh, bit of mind changing since last night!
.... head was saying TTS, but this morning the heart is saying Racing Yellow GT3 with PCCBs. Head also says only a fool would pass-up the GT3.
There is room for a TTS, but maybe worth waiting for the 992.
Only lingering concern I have is ride quality, but hey-ho

Ride quality is excellent - you could use as a daily driver no problem what so ever - especially if PDK .... head was saying TTS, but this morning the heart is saying Racing Yellow GT3 with PCCBs. Head also says only a fool would pass-up the GT3.
