911 Virgin

Love the new wheels 8)

Your car history is pretty much my wish list of 911's!

I would be interested to know your thoughts on...

The move from Turbo to GT3 and GT3 to GTS.

I currently have a 997.1 Turbo manual and was looking at switching to a 997.1 GT3.

I find the turbo exhilarating; however, for me it's 'point and shoot" and not as rewarding on the twisty stuff. Don't get me wrong, this is more to do with my driving skills than the car.

This got me thinking about a GT3... However, after a couple of test drives, I found that to get the best out of the car, you have to redline it everywhere. Again...not really my style of driving. I think I would prefer a PDK box so that I can cruise around and give it the beans once in a while to scare the kids.

Your GTS has got me thinking...

Is this the car I should be looking at?

Also...

Is the 991.1 GTS the last NA GTS?? Does it make a difference?

And

Since you have done your homework on the GTS, what would you advise anyone who may be looking??

Cheers :thumb:

As described above.

I can't answer that. You might want to test drive one to see if it's for you.

Also...

Is the 991.1 GTS the last NA GTS?? Does it make a difference?

Yes, it is. Difference to what?

And

Since you have done your homework on the GTS, what would you advise anyone who may be looking??

On the two occasions that I bought a GTS they were both impulse purchases, and bought and used without regret. If anyone is looking to become the owner of a GTS I would say buy one, subject of course to one's own level of due diligence.

Giod on you taking the time to write that - I did something similar afer the purchase/sale back to Tom. First class experience. Having just sold me X3 to get in a Cayenne, it made me realise how many muppets there out there eager to kick tyres.

When I found the right Spyder (which Tom helped me with even though there wasn't a sale in it for him!), he knowingly said "I'll be buying that when your done". He's probably right - but he'll have to wait a while..lol
