Alan, imagine yourself driving around Newport Beach in this car.
He just did imagine it, and that's why he wants it.
Nick, you'll never understand.

I cannot think of one reason for you to buy one of the 911 GT models, Nick.
They are made for people who buy the cars to actually drive them.
Which is the exact reason why some other people really do want them.

I would have bet my 430 that would be your response. I cannot argue with you at that point. There are a lot of wannabes in the high perf. car market.

Fritz you are right. I will never understand. I cannot think of one good reason to buy this car.
It looks like all other Porsche's, wing and all, has a history of very poor resale despite very limited production, totally useless on the road, performance greatly restricted (has the reputation of of widowmaker) because of driver ability and cost over $200,000.
Give me one good reason to buy the car.

In Nick's defense, I think he does have a point about the GT2 although I don't agree with him altogether. I know it's easy to pick on a guy driving a yellow Ferrari conv, but Nick does get a lot of unnecessary flak around here...

PS I only just read the "surrogate child" post in reply to Nick which was a bit over the line for me, too.
and yes, I think I need the GT2 too, because (select as you wish):
a) My clear bra needs replacing
b) My first set of rear tyres has worn out
c) I have run out of petrol.
Actually I really need the GT2 because I DIDN'T ORDER THE -20MM SPORTS SUSPENSION
Yours regretfully,
SoS.

Nick - have you actually driven a 997 GT3? Just curious as to whether your admonitions arise from first hand knowledge or simply supposition/extrapolation?
