What did you follow a GT3 with?
Discussion
I had a massive JFDI moment in November and bought a 991.2 GT3. Like most cars I've had, I thought, I'll have this for a year maybe 2, then have a change. However, I am starting to think, that this one is going to be very hard to top, I guess it's only if a change of user case if forced upon me, that the decision would be easier.
Today, in the sunshine for once, I took it out across some fabulous and quiet roads on the Herefordshire, Shropshire borders. At one point, I was on a long sweeping well sighted left hander and I just eased it out through the gears, tyres keying in, sports exhaust on, speed and G force building, whilst laughing out loud and I thought, how the hell do I follow this at some point. I may have peaked.
So, I'm in no rush to change, but have I caused myself a problem here ? What did any other GT3 owners follow with, or maybe accompany it with in the garage ?

Post my GT3 (997.2), I got a 718 Spyder to scratch the porsche type itch. More recently an Alpine A110 S joined it. Still hankering after an Aston and might revisit Ferrari with a F12 or a 458.
It’s fun to try different things, at least to me, and I’m fortunate that I can hold onto a few at any one time.

Easy answer is to keep it till you're too old to drive it

Had a gt4 (but drove my mates gt3) got an Exige as a proper drivers car as the gt4 was boring. The Caterham/ atom boys might say the same about my car though! Can’t knock them as I will probably join them in the future!
Made me laugh. Get a proper lightweight to go with it. Maybe keep the GT3 and get a more extreme car to go along with it. My daily GTS unfortunately, not a GT3, with my crazy car.

After my GT3, I thought I’d go for something a little more subtle….
It may be slower, but has way more character and just about perfect for the road….
Similar but still have the GT3. If I want to go out for a drive on country roads this wins….ludicrously good to drive for a 50 year old car.It may be slower, but has way more character and just about perfect for the road….

GT4 more clinical than boring I’d say.
Might be a better way to put it actually Manny. The GT3 with that engine was definitely more entertaining.Corkys I don’t think I explained it properly. I had a GT4 and then I replaced it with a 410 Exige as I found the GT4 boring/ clinical! You definitely have a good two car garage!
After many GT3’s, the last being a 991.2 GT3 touring, i felt the modern cars were getting too big, too fast and didn’t quite excite me unless on track, thus i went hardcore old school :
Saying that i have recently come back into GT3 ownership with a 997.2 (which i suppose was the last narrow body car) :
