So I've had a 911 itch for a very long time, since 996 days, never owned one, always wanted to own one, for me it would be the pinnacle, forget Ferrari or Lambo's etc (with a few exceptions of course).

I love GT3's, always have, for me a 991 GT3 Clubsport would be perfect for what I need.

So, I know a few of you guys have gone down this road and gone to the Pork side of life.

My question really is, have any of you regretted selling your Cecil to do this? I've had dear old Cecil for nearly 7 years now, we've been through a lot together, and he is by far the best car I've ever owned, I love him dearly, he's part of the family, he's really still my baby.

I'm blessed, I have two great cars, I have the i8, and Cecil, I don't drive Cecil as much these days, but he's there for when I want the pure driving experience.

Sometimes I wish I didn't love cars so much then I wouldn't have this problem!

Or do I sell the i8 (fantastic car for what it is) and get something like a 997/991 GTS, which lets face it is a very capable car, would be able to keep Cecil too, but the GTS isn't as dynamic as the GT3.

Or just keep what I have, stop moaning and shut up

That could have been me writing the above.
I have always loved the 911 & wanted one before I could drive. No other car had a look in. Both the mrs and I were driven in a 996gt3 oin track by a proffessional driver, sometimes very sideways so we knew its track capabilities. After a few drives in a cesil we chose it for practical reasons. The boot, not 4 seats for holidays.
I still love any gt3, but I have gone off Pork for the following reasons, hence my itch is going away on its own:
1. Cost
2. I found the Cayman a more enjoyable drive than a 911 at the PEC (a half-day session in each)
3. I found the Cayman boring after two weekends & approx. 500 miles of mainly A & B roads. Nice everyday car but not a weekend toy. The badge impressed a few people.
4. After 11 years I still get a buzz out of cesil & I look forward to driving it.
