With your use, GTS for me, GT3 gets tiresome as a daily, its a toy to play with :wink:

Not a tricky decision at all then. :floor:

Apparently the yellow ones are also faster and liked by 🐝. If it's the Leeds OPC one the mileage is rather attractive

Surely a typo... or a shed find... :grin:

This is a lovely dilemma to have and I agree with most of the comments, but as someone who has gone back to naturally aspirated 991 C2S after several turbo cars (M3, M4, RS5 etc) - let me remind you that you will have to work the GT3 harder to access the performance. I love the shriek of the top end, but get to use it very rarely due to traffic and the risk of doing so being construed as antisocial behaviour ....

So for me it depends whether your daily commute gives you the chance to use what's on offer, on a daily basis? I don't - so I'd get the GTS. Such a perfect compromise that I'm thinking of not having a 992 next year and having one myself!

I'm coming from an E92 M3 (engine went on the Autobahn earlier this year).

I think the GTS is likely to be the better choice in a lot of ways but I'll try the GT3 tomorrow. I have a feeling I'd be chasing the revs and not giving it enough track time to let it stretch it's legs.

My commute to my office can actually be walked... without traffic it's about 5 or so minutes. I've never walked it though. :floor:

Ah well you know where I'm coming from - the E92 has a great engine but needs revs and commitment to make it really perform. The GTS is a great all rounder. The GT3 truly special on the right road and with space to stretch it's legs, but for me it's a 2nd or indeed 3rd car. 9 years ago, my other half found my 997 GT3 too uncomfortable so she didn't like being a passenger and hence we stopped using it when we went out together.

Will be very interested in your thoughts on the GT3!

So actually what you need is to walk or bike daily and have the GT3 for weekend use? :thumb: My commute is 20 minutes and 6 miles - so running my C2S as a "daily" feels like enough of an indulgence .... but next stop is probably an electric car as a daily and the C2S or indeed future GTS becomes garage queen for the weekends!

It might only be a 5-minute drive but it's all uphill!! ;-)

Love his videos.

Is yours a 2 or 4-wheel drive?

A perspective on life is all a question of where you stand .... So it's downhill all the way home?

Lol me thinks everyone is basing comments on a 997 GT3. 991 and of course with the PDK is a different and more usable beast :thumb:
