Interesting. Pay more money for less performance but more feel.
Does price always have to equate to performance? Your Targa must have cost pretty close to the price of a GT3. Far heavier car, less feel, less noise.
Not a fair comparison. A big portion of money in the Targa is for open top driving enjoyment.
For the 2 cars in comparison, 991R vs new 991.2 Carrera S, both hard top coupes, one with NA 500hp manual, the other with turbo 420hp PDK at much cheaper price.
I do not see the value of this 991R at all, other than keeping it to flip some day. Carrera S can be ordered in manual and can do everything that the R can do in terms of driving.
I was planning to add a 991.2 GT3 manual, but not too sure after seeing these track times. If PDK is that much faster on track, then a cheap Carrera S PDK will do. But since I prefer manual shift on track for fun, and every new PDK cars will pass me anyway, then I might as well just stick to my slow 3.8RS. For street driving, none of the above discussion is necessary as my old club coupe has enough hp to get me into trouble.
Tim, get the GT3.2 it will be a monster. 4Lwith a race engine close to 500hp. PDK-S is fabulous. Without a doubt the GT3 is the most exciting car I have ever owned. If you're into manual I'll bet it will be the same as the one in the R. Imagine all this for less than $150,000!
