Just over from the air cooled brigade;

We often hear about people going from 996 to 993, but has anyone gone from 993 to 997.1 GT3, I'd be intrigued to know. From all I've read it's an easier road car to live with than in particular Mk1 996 GT3's, but no less thrilling.

One of the reasons we all love the 993 so much is its 'character', though I've never driven one from what I hear the GT cars have much of this as well, so with the dry sumped engine, 409bhp (1 more than a 993TT!) and not bad looks do these early 997 GT3's have it all?

Cheers
 
Awesome car...find an OPC with one for sale and test drive it !!!....i'd like
to hear your thoughts on the comparison. I went from a 993 carrera 4 cab
to a 997 4s cab...then to a GT3.

Spot on in every respect....and then the pining between the last decent
day in December and the wait for the grit, snow and ice to clear before the
fun cycle resumes in the Spring..! :wink:

Ditto, minus the thinking about selling
 
nick w - re trying one and comparing, I'm a little worried about that, I fear it may cost me a whole heep of money and see what i've been missing out on re extreme performance. Lets see if there's one close ish before the winter to try out :grin:

I have.
I went from a 993 Turbo > 997.1 GT3.

The 997'GT3's tactility is the closest thing you will find to the traditional air cooled cars feel.
Agile, edgy, and a glorious intake wail..... make it sublime to drive.

Very much a 993 Carrera with [substantially] more power & grip

Less words, more pics.... :D ......
