    997 GT3 - Help Me -

    Hi folks,
    I'm a new user here in RENNTEAM, I realiazeda that all of you knows a lot about "PORSCHES" so I'd like you to help me choose about BUYING a new car. I LOVEEEEEED so much the new 997 GT3, but some friends of mine said this car is to HARD to drive at the STREETs, they say it's a car only for the track. I would buy this car not for every-day cars, it will be a car for pleasure, take a ride and sometimes put it on the track (99% street for the 1%track). I already have a 360SpiderF1, 987BOXSTER S and a MASERATI3200GT. I would like to change my MASERATI into a 997Turbo or a 997GT3.
    Please, give your opinons.
    Tanxxxxxxxx
    ps: Sorry for my bad english.

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    get both.

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    Your friend is right. The car is usable every day (it won't stall or overheat in traffic), but the ride is hard and the car is very low (be careful driving up ramps!). By the way, the GT3 does not have rear seats, unlike the 3200GT and the Turbo (this might be of importance to you).

    Since you have several cars, I'd still get the GT3 over the Turbo if I were you, as I suspect it'll be more fun.

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    The new GT3 has a softer suspension with PASM adjustment to make it more friendly on the street - go ahead and enjoy it!

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    I'd also consider the quality of the roads on which you drive. Since you have a stable of lovely ponies, i assume they're just fine!

    My opinion: GT3 baby!

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    SMILE, here in BRAZIL the roads are very bad, of course there are some wonderful rodas to drive this kind of cars.
    One more question, does anyone knows if this 997GT3 is harder to drive in the streets than a 360Spider?
    Tanx everybody who has given opinions.

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    Since you have so many other cars, go with the GT3. You will get use to the driving within a couple of weeks!

    The GT3 is lower and stiffer, but not more difficult - just more fun

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    If you can drive the F360 quite fast get the NEW GT3 (I used to have one) the car is amazing... F360 is FAR MORE DANGEROUS... 3200 is a tough car too...
    I am afraid that if you buy a turbo you wont have such fan as a GT3...

    Re: 997 GT3 - Help Me -

    Go for the GT3!
