Yeah, I'd say whichever you enjoy driving. But to me, 991.2 GT3 whether wing or Touring. 991R would be too if you can get your hands on one for a reasonable price (whatever that is to you). Speedster as well.

Copy that! The one a person owns is the keeper until it isn't.

If the question was changed to which one I would buy if money was no object, looking at the 991 series only, it would be a WP GT2RS w/ magnesium wheels.

There will always be the latest and greatest. That doesn’t mean the one you have isn’t perfect for you. There are people that have to have the newest technology. If you love the car you already have then there is no need to continuously upgrade. For me my Touring is my keeper along with my ‘88 Carrera that I bought new. Bottom line what’s good for one may not be for all. Time for me to get off the ride and just enjoy what I have.

Smart man, I’ve always said I want 2 cars that are fun to drive that light of my face. It’s been my Speedster and 675LT, and I’ve yet wanted to drive anything else for my personal enjoyment. Hell 2021 is shaping up to be the first year since 2012 will not buy a damn car.

Technology and turbos have saved me a ton of money. My interest has waned. No longer thinking about the next one....I’ll keep my V12 for quite some time. In 15 years gas cars will be just about history

Agreed. I love my touring but I'll move on to the 992 version as soon as I can get an allocation.

GT3T and R are the keepers for me. I prefer coupes with no sunroofs. Speedster is out for me. I prefer manual, so 991.1 GT3 and all GT3RS and GT2RS are out. I plan on adding a 992 GT3 (might go for wing :-).

I’ve had 11 991’s. The carrera T manual is an incredible car for the money and there will never be another one. The last special narrow body 911.
