I kind of have to agree. I’m having more fun driving my C63s cab than my prior 2017 911S.
better sound, more comfortable but not as performance oriented as the Porsche

Agree, GT3 RS is another level...but its not really good for daily - I want to drive my cars daily and not only once in a while (except if I have Jay Leno money, I would not mind). A nicely optioned Turbo S would be great but if I select what I would want (interior and exterior upgrades), that's a steep price to pay and I could keep my C63S as daily and buy a lightly used supercar for the thrill.

Dude a nice option out Turbo s will put it close to 300K 720 Prices LOL I mean don't get me wrong is an amazing machine but eh, like you I daily drive the hell out of my cars LOL, can't be having a garage queen. I'm really thinking about an AMG GTR as a Track toy car switch between the Cabriolet 63 and this but I don't see the difference besides a bit more power and looks.

I might check out a 2018+ GTS...might do the trick. Funny part is, we have many more 911's on our street here than AMG's...and for sure none or few modified 911's or AMG's. Friend of mine who owns a car shop built a really nice 991 and its great...but took a lot to make it standout and perform as he wanted it to.

I had some time today and after test driving the 911 I now had the chance to test drive: GT63s, E53 (4matic), and a tuned CLS53 (4matic). Of course, the GT63s took the trophy and with the 4matic it goes straight even when pushed hard. Much better than my RWD C63s, that starts fishtailing. However, I write this post as I was positively surprised by the 53's. I am not going to buy one as there is an emotional factor in me that wants to stay with the M177 but these things move pretty nice. The tuned CLS53 was really moving well...and it was popping and gun shooting like crazy...a bit too much for my taste but I was surprised. All of these can hold their own in terms of driving experience against the 911...of course, not as nimble but at least from for normal street driving kind of feel these 53's are better than I thought. I am now having my eye on test driving a 718 GTS and GT4 and maybe a manual 991 911-T. Latter is kind of a rare model and manual 911 must be fun.

Thought I would pop back in here and coincidentally saw this thread which was good timing. Awhile back I had picked up a F-Type SVR along with my C63S. Eventually sold the C63S as it wasn't really being driven. I've just now traded the SVR for a 991.1 GT3. Be careful testing a Porsche. I'm still in my honeymoon period but I get the feeling this has ruined a lot of cars for me. Can't imagine my next car being anything other than another Porsche.

I was a Porsche owner for many years. 3 911's, a Boxster, Cayman GTS, and Macan Turbo. They are great cars no doubt but I must say, I am enjoying my 2021 C63S cab just as much and in some ways, I think the C63S is more fun to drive. That being said, I am always leaving my mind open to another Porsche. I have owned many cars and will credit Porsche for making the finest automobile I have ever driven.

For sure, a GT3 and in particular the new 992 GT3 is an awesome car...next would be the Turbo...just entirely different price range than our C63s's.
