Huh? 996 GT3's sold for around $120K, I see them now for around $70K, that's almost a 50% drop in 4 years, doesn't sound like they are holding their value to me, if anything the 997 GT3s being better than the 996's have caused the prices on 996's to drop a fair amount.

Faster? I haven't had a single 996 GT3 pass me at the track. Ever. Granted my car is modified and sure the 996 GT3 is faster than a Cayman S in stock form, but my mods are a lot less than the price differential between the two cars so I would argue that you can easily turn a Cayman S into a 996 GT3 beater.

I think for the individual asking the question the Cayman S is a better car. If he catches the track bug he can modify the Cayman S (still have a warranty) and have a newer and more improved track weapon, and one less likely to do him bodily harm if he gets it wrong. I too also found the 996 GT3 tiresome for regular day to day driving, repeated kidney punches were not my cup of tea.

I'm thinking more inline with wpmjr
