Ok...here's a different perspective, albeit with two very different GT3 RS cars.
I'm fortunate to own a 997 GT3 RS gen 2 and a 991 GT3 RS. I totally concur
with all of the above comments from the various poster's about the 991 being
light years the nicer car to sit in. The cockpit is just superb, and it certainly
does have all the mod cons and 21st century toys to play with. Point to point,
it has more grip, more go, bigger brakes, and the rear wheel steering make
the 991 feel really chuckable...and then there's that trick PDK box too. The
level of driving refinement in the 991 is up two notches, not one.
My 997 has sat in the garage unused for five months (since the new car made
it's appearance)....until yesterday. Ok, the 997 is a 2010 car, it feels small,
so much smaller inside, the gear change is slow (until it's warmed up), and
that clutch is heavy..but, hang on, that's great because it does have a clutch !.
Then, you press on...and omg, I hadn't realised until today what I've been
missing out on.....
The car has 'huge heart and soul'...the steering is alive, so alive that you feel
every imperfection in the road surface, and the noise is so very raw, the
exhaust note sounds louder (as the car has less sound proofing). The levels of
refinement you have in the newer car, just aren't there in the 997, but you
know what ?, it really doesn't matter a jot.
All of this really does make the 991 feel a bit 'antiseptic' when you compare
the two back to back.
The 991 might be a lot more capable, but I have no doubt that the 997 is the
fun car because it will only give you what you put into it....it's just awesome.
