I’m sure the drive is absolutely amazing, but I won’t get more enjoyment out of a 991 GT3 than what I get from my 992. Paying essentially the build-MSRP of a 992 GT3 for the older car would feel like a waste of money (…especially once the newness wears off). I would be infinitely happier with the 992 GT3. I don’t mind steering wheel buttons.

Both are beautiful, but I love the 992 GT3 with swan neck spoiler.
Agreed! In my case, I would get the 992 GT3 at MSRP, so it’s worth it to just wait a couple of years. At MSRP the 992 would be the no-brainer option.

The S55 was a brute for sure.

It’s interesting…..


…I don’t drive my 992 a lot (…I just hit 4700 miles this weekend after 2 years of ownership), but when I do, I’m reminded of how crazy fast the C2S actually is. It’s so much fun to drive. After we finished coding the AeroKit Monday, my buddy who has a 992 TT/S and a 992 GT3 remarked how surprisingly fast the C2S is. He had never ridden in a regular Carrera prior to my car. The pics below were taken in his hanger next to two of his personally owned fighter planes; he has 4 or 5.

Thanks! Obviously not Porsche/Z06 level, but I really love my car.
