1. Does it handle like boxster?

No, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a rear-engine car and that comes with different handling characteristics. Really, REALLY good handling characteristics mind you. But with all that weight right over the rear tires, it's a whole different set of physics there.

2. How's the mpg compare to the boxs? I don't really care about mpg but it is good to know whether I need to fill gas in every stop or not.

I don't know about the GT3, but I saw a brand new 2007 911 Turbo at the dealership today and it was rated at 18/25. So decent.

3. Yeah it has more hp, but does it worth adding about $60K? My boxs is 2004 with 9900km (about 6000 miles?) and in super excellent condition, which I need to trade it in IF I bite their offer.

That is up to you. If you do trade up, you will be exiting the sports car arena and enter supercar territory (they RACE these things in LeMans after all). The elite of the elite if you will. And this car is so much more than extra horsepower. You will be able to take down ANYTHING that you cross paths with.

Is it worth it? As someone said, the GT3 is about the purest driving machine you can get (with the exception IMO of the Ariel Atom 2: Nothing but performance on that one). You'll be giving up your convertible (and some major $$), but you'll be gaining just about everyone here's dream car. So that might be all you need.
