was just browsing news today and came across this. i'll preface with, i don't know the history of the cgt (yet) so go easy lol and am just a reader who owns a my23 tts, desires to add a gt3, and was surprised to read this. this would be a deterrent to me for ownership. i like to drive my cars without a stop recommendation from the manu.

Didn't you sell your GT3 shortly after buying and move to the turbo in your signature?

The CGT has a lot of quirks. Having a 992 RS and ST and also requiring more cash I personally would not go CGT.
It’s unlike anything you else but it’s dated in ways too. Doug Demuro just spent a bunch of money just to get it to ride more like a modern car. New suspension, axle lift, electro wing etc.
CGT is the type of car you buy when you have FU money in my humble opinion. Or it’s a life must have check box.
I would want to be in the position where you don’t have to get rid of ST and RS and simply be adding CGT.

You can’t even drive the CGT, they have stop drives on them, and further more every few years they find another reason to take them off the road.
It is 100% a 5th or 6th car that is now basically a giant paperweight

If I may offer a counterpoint…
CGT perfectly fine to drive after inspection. There hasn’t been a single control arm failure in the real world. No issue with insurance- I checked mine.
After speaking with FSW on the topic, my understanding is that the recall was done from an abundance of caution, and may not have happened if it weren’t Porsche’s halo car.
It has always been a good 3rd car for driving when you are in the mood. It’s too demanding to drive otherwise, and not a substitute for any 911, and would recommend keeping at least one 911 to drive regularly.
CGT is basically an evolution of the F50 concept, and still a bargain given the F50 is close to 4mm. Let’s not forget how unique the car is and how unlikely we are to see anything like it ever again.
If values take a hit, I’ll buy another 🙂

CGT
911s are 911s at the end of the day. The ST and RS are interesting versions of the same car.

992 is the truck, from kids to manure and bikes....
it goes everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE.
it even rolled into my neighbors' living room.. that was $$$$$$$$ and embarrassing. don't ask
well, I have my ways with cars... stuff break.
last maintenance was about msrp of GT3.
again, it's be/c I am just abusive... I tailgate and I don't stop for speed bump or dips....
windshield alone is 10k installed....
but if you want a hooker, you don't ask for $
is the goal investment or driving or both….?
CGT will sit while with the other 2 cars the RS will likely be driven, the ST will probably be less used but still return well in value as will the RS…..even with miles….
if pure investment return is the goal with little driving over next 5 years…CGT

I have 2 CGT when I bought them one was <1000 miles the other 500 miles
I don't save either.
whichever is not blocked, I drive.
life is too short to wait
u may be younger.
I had 4 eye surgery 2 knew surgery 1 thumb surgery... and I am likely fitter than 90% of the ppl here.
so burn the money while you can.
and thus ST is POS, pls sell to me
no CXX garbage, just make it pccb and orange.
I promise I cover 15k miles in 12 month.
the last orange u got me cleared 26k miles today.
3rd windshield.

Hi, long time lurker posting for first time.
Wondering what your thoughts are on for hypothetically trading a package of 992 GT3rs + S/T + cash (to make up for difference) for 1 CGT? Assuming fair price for all 3 cars.
Obviously this would have to happen at least 1 year after taking delivery in the S/T so would be 2025 business at the earliest, but for those with extensive garages and access to these cars wondering if you have thought about it.
At least here in CT you could slap a classic car plate on the CGT and eliminate property tax, although at cars this level the tax aspect is really not a deal breaker.
This is under the assumption you already have a decent garage on top of the GT3rs & S/t. Let's say something like a Dakar (for winter fun) / manual car of early 2000s (F430 or Murci or FGT etc.) / track dedicated car / comfortable daily (taycan or Cayenne etc.) as well as the GT3rs and S/T.
Happy to hear thoughts.

nothing drives like a CGT, nothing before and nothing after.
I love it
but it is a A to point A car. totally useless
I have 15k miles on CGT chassis. I know it well but every time I am out with it, it scares me ****less.
If u like roller coaster rides, this is it.
it's better to have RS and CGT.
