Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
An RS is always an RS, engine is probably the issue long term with the .1 RS.
Leading evidence: 'issue long term' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'issue long term' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have own both at the same time and done thousand of kms back to back including driving the Furka, Grimsel, Susten and the San Bernardino passes..plus others. I have also tracked them back to back at Spa. IMO, the 991.2 is a genuine step on from the 991.1. it’s angrier, louder, rides better, turns in better and pulls much harder at the bottom end.
An RS is always an RS, engine is probably the issue long term with the .1 RS. I think it'll be viewed as an orphan between the Mezger and current cup based engine in the .2
Sounds like we share the same saved searches on Carsales

991.2 GT3 seem to be dropping fast, a couple now at low 300s and quite a few around while 991.1 seem to have plateaued at mid 200s. I reckon I'd stump up the extra $50-75k to get into the newer car with 4.0, manual if you prefer and no engine issues. For peace of mind and resale, i reckon I'd rather a good engine than a known problem engine with a warranty.
991.1 at low 200’s has got my attention but then one thing leads to another and I’m looking at .2’s.............I’d be looking to track and hill climb it so I’m struggling to justify the $$$$ if I was to have an excursion in it though. I’ll be sitting tight for a little longer methinks for some very low hanging fruit!
Yep I've done the same. I reckon a manual .2 is the go if they ever fall enough to make it viable for track use. Looking at track cars I've owned, they do get a bit banged up over time with chunks of rubber, stone chips, excursions into gravel and grass. And 200+ is still a LOT to punt into the wall.
By contrast, my Mazda "fell" off the trailer the other day and was held up by the front splitter. PITA but just a few scratches and a couple of busted brackets, dodgy up a fix and carry on. Would be hating it if that was a mint GT3.
You'd climb a hill very quickly in this? How much is that trophy worth to ya?

Considered dial it down a couple of notches Eg that price /2.5 and that hp / 1.33 and you can still have gt2 bragging rights but it's in the form of a 997 ( even comes with a cage for events) just dial the suspension down a notch after an event. It Looks very comfy even with the cage.
I used to think that too. Even drove the M3 all the way to Bathurst, lapped at pace and drove home. But history shows it's a risky business, plenty of days ended with a busted car.
I've come full circle, M3 will soon be replaced with another SUV, dedicated track car is in the garage, new trailer completed a couple of weeks ago, remote electric winch and all
👌🏻
. Peace of mind means I can drive it HARD
