Frayed,

I'm working on it... for sure I know I will get bored with the 997S... no that's wrong, not bored, but I will keep longing for the GT3. It fitted like a glove so to speak

Surely, there must be a solution somehow...

last resort for me is the close my current company and start a new one if needed

Adam, it's not about the raw speed, it's more about the total package. I drove quite a lot of performance cars, but honestly no car ever felt so right... everything just seems to be right...

imagine to add X51 to my "S" spec, this would elevate the price of it above the GT3 pricing... I would rather die then have to do this...

About the GT3RS, I have no clue, never driven it, neither in 996 form nor in 997 form...

Main reasons for me to hold out on the GT3 was the harshness on a day by day basis and the fact that my wife wanted back seats :-)

As it turned out, the PASM normal is really really good on the road, noise levels are fine for me, luxury I don't really care about
(found my previous M3 way too luxurious & consequently heavy..)
