Heard someone guys talking at a meeting and they were all in 992's but talking about their old 991.2s and saying in many ways they were rawer and more visceral and that in the future the 991.2 GT3 might be considered one of the great ones.

What do you think?

Relatively similar cars ultimately. To me the 991 looks better, but in the long run you’d want the one with the most reliable engine. I don’t know the data, but I wonder if it will prove to be the 992??

The 996 is growing on me though

Its a great one… especially if you have a manual as it marks a return to manual for Porsche… and the last of the traditional layout.

992 is the ultimate technical incarnation of the GT3 though… all of the dynamic traits refined almost to make it too good.

The best porsche is the one you drive.

Production numbers will also have a big say in this, half as many 991.2 as there is 992.1.

It seems so to me. I'm looking for a 991.2 manual GT3 as we speak and they already seem to be a little dearer than the PDK and to my mind captures the purity of a GT car, but either gearbox feels to me like it's a great GT car.

So a yes from me.
