Other Track-Focused Cars

Who here has driven a 991 GT3? A new Camaro Z/28 or Vette Z06?

How did it compare to the 1M? Did you feel a similar connection to the car and the road?

None of these listed cars will match the rarity of the 1M. That's the main advantage I see in keeping it, aside from how incredibly nice and engaging it is to drive.

Have a gt4 and its unbelievably planted. I still wouldn't trade the 1m for it.

I drove a Z/28 today after being hyped by a few GT3 comparisons (see Motor Trend).

The performance was great. I can't get over how heavy it feels. The build quality is poor beyond what I would expect. My 2004 STi I had many years ago was right there with it, and didn't have a $75k sticker.

The 1M is just so damn nice to drive.

Going to probably keep it and throw on some Öhlins and nicer Recaro buckets.

Give a CPOed 981 with x73 and sport chrono a drive and see what you think. You have to rev it out for it to really come alive.

Bang for the buck it's one of the best options right now.

Have an acr. It's a monster but still no way in hell I'm getting rid of the 1M.

I've driven a 991 GT3 on the track and road and no 1M comes anywhere near it in terms of driver engagement.

Agree. I love my 1M, but the GT3 is highly developed sports car, not a hot version of a more pedestrian coupe.

Im fortunate enough to own a 1m and a 991 gt3. The gt3 is on another level. It's visceral, raw, and revves all the way to 9000! Then again, you need to take it up to illegal speeds or on track to really enjoy it. The 1m is something I enjoy driving everyday on everyday roads. Especially with the manual tranny.

Totally agree, every time I drive a pcar it feels like a sport car, super focus and on point

Gt3 is on a totally different level but not the greatest daily, that's when you need a 1m

When it come to sheer fun the w204 c63 with suspension rivals the 1m.

Have both currently
