Well judging by the title of the post it doesn't get much more clear than that. He asked, Keep the EVO or get Porsche GT3??? I'm not saying you're wrong 3000, but everything after that, the ho-hum, the wife said this and that. That's all after most of the people who posted in here read the title and decided to give their opinion. You're right in saying that it doesn't sound like he wants to get rid of it and that, This isn't a comparision of EVO vs. GT3, but the question was pretty straight forward, and i think people comparing the two is always going to come into play to justify their answer. And with that...

Porsche 997tt all the way.

 

Gt3 Gt3 Gt3!!!!!!!

 

The decision should not be based on materialism and snobbery. If you like the Evo, keep it. The wife will have to deal. She married you and not your car. If she wants a Porsche, she can buy one herself. That is all...

 

If you can afford the GT3, get the GT3.

 

I love my evo to death but if i could afford a GT3 and but would have to give up my evo in order to get one, i would probably pick the GT3 its just beautiful to look at, and the interior is gorgeus, not to mention the fact that its mechanically amazing in stock form

 

keep the evo and buy a kia for her to ride around in if she hates the evo soo bad....she will come running back in no time

 

lmaoo the kia has a better interior

If you can, get rid of the truck and get the porsche instead. If not, park the truck on the street and the porsche in the driveway.

 

I've never like the look of a porche that much (except one with outrageously wide rear end and wing) but given your chance I'll dump the evo any second.

 

There was a time I would be a blind fool to think my Evo was the end all be all car. But in the grand automotive scheme of things its just another step. There are always better cars out there no matter how much you mod a car to get to the next step. I say the GT3 is the next base step. A moded Evo will be within reach or exceed it with sacrifices in emission, reliability etc. Sometimes its time to move up to a better car.

That being said, I know this persons situation is more complicated than just choosing a better car. So I will give my simplistic opinion on what car I would chose.

I have been growing an affinity to Porsches lately. The GT3 just pushed me over the edge. I figure that its not worth getting an Boxter, Cayman or regular 911 since the Evo can be moded easy to match each one. No, you have to shoot for the Turbo or the GT3. Since the GT3 is the most raw and is NA and almost just as fast as the turbo given the HP and Weight, I like the GT3 the Best!!!

ESPECIALY IN WHITE!

 

dude it costs alot to take care of. i traded in a porsche boxster for the evo 9 . oil changes are about 100$ if u dont do it urself and aftermarket performance is expensive also. my exhaust i had was 1000$ just for the cat back. headers are 1500 and intake was 400. Yes the attention is not good cuz people will be jealous more then the evo. but if u got money to get the gt3 then im sure u can afford the maintenance. but for me the porsche became a hassle after leaking oil and noisy valves, auto windows on driver side broke and motor mount went car only had 50k miles on it. but if u like ur evo keep it the gt3 will just give u a "status" lol

 

Just by reading what you've written so far, it seems as if you'd really rather keep it. You said it yourself, you like being able to work on it easily, and doing so is no problem. It performs and behaves like you want it to, and you're also prepared to put another $15k into it. On the flipside, YOUR WIFE, NOT YOU, wants you to get a different car instead. Personally, I see you not being happy with this should you get rid of your car under these conditions, but that's just me. However, if it's you who really wants the change of car, then by all means, do it.

 

i cant believe this is a serious question either get the porsche and ditch the evo or ditch the wife and keep the evo and still get the porsche

 

The question posed in this thread IMO is simply rediculous. Anyone who has driven a car of the caliber of the GT3 would jump on it in a second if it was economically viable. You cannot even compare the Evo to the GT3 as they are so far different, its like comparing some kid in his modded CRX to an stock Evo. Yeah, you may find some performance similarities but it immediately ends at that.

I'm not saying the Evo isn't a great car For $30-35k, yea... its awesome. But it's no GT3.

 

what a beautiful car the GT3 is....buy it, you'll be forgiven from evom

ot, looking at the pictures of the porsche, i kept thinking they came with different spoilers, the wing looks so different from every angle

 

Porsche GT3!!!
