Message: <blockquote data-quote="bmwcar" data-source="post: 195407" data-attributes="member: 2286">Had the opportunity to be in a 996 tt and immediately then after a 996 gt3......what a difference....the 996 tt reminded me of a 3 series with almost 3 times the power of my 323ci......it had 450bhp but it felt just like my car, in fact the engine did not sound inspiring at all but much faster in a straight line and around corners than my car.......  The gt3 was a different animal... it revs to 8k+ (tt was i think about 6.5k rpm redline), sounds like a mini ferrrari without the high maintanence costs.....and feels totally different....and there is no auto for the gt3 only manual...... according to the owners, the running costs are comparable and not much more than a bmw except for tires...but both cars only clock 10,000km per year and have about 30,000km on them so alot of parts do not need to be changed as yet...... for me, if had the chance...a 996 gt3 over a turbo...but if it was to be a daily car, then maybe the turbo.....but if using it as a daily driver, resale could be difficult as the market is not used to having high mileage high performance cars......so the resale price may be lower.... in conclusion, would prefer a gt3 over a tt as a weekend car....but if getting a porsche as a daily driver, buy a second hand one that has very low mileage - (there are a few in malaysia) and then use it daily and after 3 years, the car would have average mileage on it making it easier to sell.......</blockquote>
