991.2

TheYoungConnoisseur · 03-13-2017, 10:11 PM

My spec GT3 is 158k and the carrera S similarly equipped is 125 with the CCB's.

worth the 35k premium? Ehh idk probably, based solely on resell. after 15k miles and 3yrs the carrera S will be worth about 85k and the GT3 140 I imagine.

id rather daily the Carrera S, especially with a strong tune and exhaust.

Id get something else if I had an extra 100grand or sold something tho. Like a 2k mi huracan spyder or 458 spyder.

idk

BEM-S4 · 03-13-2017, 10:41 PM

The gt3 will hold value better, the CS is a better daily. I've spent significant time driving both.

Draper · 03-13-2017, 10:58 PM

Don't expect to pay sticker for the new GT3.

Yes, GT3 will not depreciate.

You will lose your ass on base S.

gonzo · 03-14-2017, 06:09 AM

GTS?

...and you should be able to get around 10% off an S.
Pencil to paper.

The GTS hits the sweet spot for myself.

I'd go for a targa for sure but I hate the awd.

They make 400models of car but there's no targa rwd S/gts

Because a it's the constant sliding $$ :value scale
Why pay targa awd money when I can get a sub 1k mile turbo s for the same money or less or a new gt3.

The targa is stunning though. To me, easily the best looking top down car.

CosmosMpower · 03-14-2017, 12:33 PM

Gt3, no question

TrAcK TRaP · 03-14-2017, 12:41 PM

GT3 for sure..

W/// · 03-14-2017, 01:44 PM

GT3 by a mile. You could drive it for 2 years and sell it for practically no loss. Hell it might even appreciate. The base 911's are only good buys if you get it CPO IMHO.

saeyedoc · 03-14-2017, 02:38 PM

I'll be the dissenter here, I wouldn't want to daily drive a GT3 with that huge wing and even lower suspension thatnan S with SPASM. I ding the front end bumper guard almost daily, luckily it's easily replaced at less than $200. Front axle lift isn't going to do any good when you don't see the problem way ahead of time. I can't see myself stopping to raise it every time I see a speed bump. Those GT3s that don't depreciate much usually have very few miles on them. Trying to sell a 2 year old one with 20k on the odometer isn't going to be that easy.

Sound advice. GT3s even with 10-20k miles don't depreciate that much over the <10k mile examples. Unlike Ferrari, where that type of mileage would equate to likely 6 figure or more depreciation, the difference is minimal.

Can you even get the new gt3?

Redd · 03-16-2017, 04:12 AM

If the GT3 is in contention its a no brainer. That's like asking if I should order the porterhouse steak or grab a Big Mac?

TSM330i · 03-16-2017, 07:31 AM

dgoldenz · 03-16-2017, 01:15 PM

GT3 obviously, or you could get a 991.1 S and have $100k in your pocket...

FriskyDingo · 03-16-2017, 01:58 PM

GT3 all day. No question.

fkim119 · 03-17-2017, 12:04 PM

If you can get at MSRP= GT3.

Otherwise you're better off with the more comfortable and daily driveable C2S.

saeyedoc · 03-17-2017, 12:15 PM

If I was buying new, I'd just get a base 911. Word is they are as fast as my 991.1 S and no way I can get anywhere near the limits on my car.

Crimson92 · 03-17-2017, 01:00 PM

After driving the gt3 on a track.

Nothing else will do.
