Well guys, at todays Porsche drive having a Boxster TT paid off. The guy with the 600 hp 996 TT wanted to drive my car so he drove mine and I drove his, after we got back a 07 GT3 wanted a turn.

After driving the modded 02 996 TT and the stock 997 GT3 with only 2k miles. I would put my money in the 996TT.

The TT pulled from 2000rpm and was faster than I ever felt, the GT3 felt lack luster until 5000rpm compared to the TT. On a curvey road the GT3 may be better, on the track the GT3 may better, but for my money the TT seemed near perfect.

I do alot if interstate driving and the backroads still would have the Boxster.

Now the disclosure, I only drove about 10 miles in each car.
