RS4 to GT3

Post by **romario** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 4:19 pm

Have owned 996s since release and now have a C4S. I love it but it is nowhere near the thrill of a GT3 on a track, or the RS on slicks I lapped Goodwood in last year.
TT is very refined, I prefer the rawer feel/sound of C4S but would love the oomph of the twin turbos.
Buy the GT3 you won't be disappointed, if you need to use it all the time I'd go for the C4S unless you really miss the power when only a Turbo will do.

Yep, brakes, suspension, wider track, body etc. Unique rear end on the C4S also.

Same engine though.

Cheers

I visit www.rennlist.com - apparently the biggest porsche forum in the US (if you believe statistics...)

Cheers for confirming that Ben. Always nice to know the 4S buyers get something extra for their dosh, eh

What is the going rate for a Mk1 GT3 now anyway?

OPCs are selling them at £55K plus, but you can get them privately or from non Porsche dealers at under £50K

They are still a current model Frank so visit Porsches UK site.

JR, any idea of the number of GT3s in the UK?
