Re: She is home

Thanks for your insights Mike!
I now see why you solde the CGT, and I got to say that I admire you for it. On a different scale, I behave the same way with my photocamera and my watches; people around me ask me why I use them every day, also in circumstances where they might be damaged. I ask them what the fun of owning it is when you're not going to use it... yes So all in all, I can say I'm looking forward to seeing your next CGT! :-)

Regarding the 2rs and the 3rs, could you say that the 2rs is a track oriented roadcar and the 3rs is a road oriented trackcar?

Re: She is home

Glad you all enjoyed the review.

I love both cars. As I mentioned, they drive very differently from one another. I honestly wouldn't know which one I would get preference.

It's almost like asking a 993 GT2 or a 993 Carrera RS? smiley

Re: She is home

Nice review Mike.

Did the new owner of the CGT manage to get it registered in SA?

Re: She is home

@Pilot: Thank you pal!

@beltar: Thank you my friend, hope things are still well and that you're still loving the 997 kiss

@skazzy: Thank you. How is Canada? No, you can't register LHD. There are ways and means of getting to drive them on the road. I have no idea what his plans are to be honest. I have never met him either. I wasn't directly involved.

@Joost: Hahaha, I wish! smiley

Re: She is home

Thank you, Mike,

for a fresh "drivers prospective" review of both cars. It's a rare opportunity to actually hear real everyday driver/user comparison/review of both cars. Please, just drive them everyday MORE often to keep us posted in a future for an UPDATED 6-12mo review of both, where you''ll experience even MORE differences in both for everyday driving.

Which ONE out of two do you personally prefer for day-by-day everyday driving?...

...I can't imagine myself driving that thing with the LEFT hand on a manual gear shifter.... heart enlightened

kiss

I believe there will be a new Panamera model launch just before the 991 GT3 RS is announced late next year... ;)
