I was thinking exactly what you said … sell the z06 get the GT3 at MSRP in a year or 2 get the the z06 or the ZR1 but I’m more of a NA guy so probably the z06

and sometimes I say it doesn’t make sense selling and buying again maybe keep both and manage the financials
I think I can speak a bit here, I own both the Z06 and a LS3 swapped Porsche 997, I am finding having 2 sports cars just makes no sense and I am thinking about selling the Porsche and buying a classic or such.

I thought I would love to have them both but it really isnt that great.

I keep saying that it doesn’t make sense to have 2 sports car … absolutely agree with you but I never owned 2 sports cars at the same time… problem I love the Z06 and I can’t just say no to the Porsche GT3 because I’ve been wanting one at MSRP.

using my brain: it doesn’t make sense owning 2

using my heart and emotions: keep them both

I know myself I’m the end I’ll follow my brain

Two sports cars don't make sense!? Man that is about as far of an opposite take to my world view as I've ever seen on this forum. I currently have a c8 Z07, a Cayman GT4.5, Ferrari 360 spider, 72 LT1 corvette, highly modded 911 Turbo and an R32 Skyline GT-R....and my main concern is "how to do I find more storage so I can keep adding to the stable?"


Regarding the GT3 vs Z06 debate, a lot of good points above - particularly related to the fact that you can essentially drive a GT3 for free, sell it later for what you paid or more and then get into a Z06 - there's a lot to be said for that. I've driven an 992 GT3RS and while it's a very cool car it didn't feel like nearly as much of an "occasion" as driving my Z06. I haven't been into GT3's since the 997 3RS...now THAT is a special car worth owning.

I also heavily track mine and there's the thought of "if you're going to put your car at risk on track, a $130K Z06 vs. a $300-$400K 3RS is a very different equation".

Agree on the distinction between a GT3 and a GT3RS is important - a GT3 Touring doesn't do much for me.

Under 20 post guy comments:

I own more than one sports car and absolutely enjoy it. Each of them has a particular driving characteristic that I enjoy. My German toys feel and drive differently and evoke a different emotion in me than my American toys, likewise for the American toys. But each has something that I can only get from that particular car. So, yes, if it's a possibility for both, do both. A 992.2 GT3 is a different car, and vice versa with the Z06 (which I don't own...yet). But I am sure their driving characteristics are different.

I mean, are we really discussing what is rational in a sports car forum??? lol..really?

This is a passion-driven hobby. At least it is for me. NONE of this is what I need. It's all....
