Thought you guys would be stirring each other up by now?!

996.1 best one of the lot eh?

Disappointed with the AP interview mind, just a shortened version of what we've already seen in the video.

Does this include the GT3 RS's ?

Or are we talking 96gt3.1 96gt3.2 97gt3.1 and 997gt3.2 ?


Didnt evo have the mk1 down as 3rd in their top 100 drivers cars ?

Yep they took all the variations of the standard GT3 out for 2 days (Wales then Bedford Autodrome)

Wow, good result!

I'll make sure to buy that issue. I must admit for looks the 997 does win but hey, I'm still chuffed with my 996 and they are maturing nicely with that wing and the polished rims. Looking forward to tinkering with mine once the weather picks up.

Ha, rub it in why don't you. wink

I rarely buy any mags these days, but I enjoy sourcing old GT3 features etc, so I'll buy this one.

Result is kinda inconclusive (doesn't say any are the 'best'), but points to the 997's being the most exciting whilst still retaining the feel and adjustability of the original.

Oddly they describe the original as feeling very small inside, thin doors, windows close to you etc... like an older car. That doesn't make much sense to me as I thought the 996 and 997 had pretty much the same size interiors?!

997.1 for me.

Great article though, as is the article about the end of the manual gearbox.

I had a GT3 996-1, years ago. As soon as te owener sold it to Lovetts, and then to me.....he wanted it back. Cracking drive but ugly car IMO.
