GT3.1 have a major issue with engine failure. This was supposedly fixed for .2, but there’s evidence that it was not (see Janko Lind’s video on YouTube - this is why he sold his .2 - the engine failed).
The AMG GT will be more reliable than the Porsche (also see Nick Murray’s videos, where both of his 911s were lemoned).
Resale - I don’t think the GT3RS will hold its value any better than a GTR, if you look at % depreciation. The issue with the 911s is that Porsche is making A LOT of them. There are far fewer AMG GT made, just the sales numbers.
Oops, wrong thread. I hate how the UI jumps around on an iPad...
