Turbo or GT3, what do you prefer?

[xxxalexxxx]

GT3 RS for me, no substitute- at least in my opinion

I would take the turbo just for the fact of every day enjoyability...sure the gt3rs is a bamf car but i think the stiffer suspension and such would eventually get on my nerves .. i vote turbo

Straight out answer: GT3
BUT for the cash, I'd say build a GT3 Boxster - 986S with GT3 motor, seats, PCCB's, sway bars, and PSS9's.
I really can't believe that nobody's done this yet.

Was at the dealership a while back and they had a Kermit green gt3 RS. Salesman said "Push in the clutch!"

That thing was as hard as a rock! Very heavy. Maybe on the go it would get lighter, but for every day, it just didn't feal right.

IMO, the GT3 is a more purpose built Track car while the Turbo is more streetable in most situations. So, I think your intended use should have a lot to do with your decision.

I'd chose the Coupe' over the Cab because unlike the Boxster, the Cab lacks some of the rigidity of the Coupe.

No turbo on a GT3. http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/coupes/112_0705_2007_porsche_911_gt3/specs.html

The motor will bolt right in with a little creativity. Tholyoak has done this already.

For some reason I think the turbo engine and the GT3 engine are a different design than the standard 3.4l or 3.6l, and because of that they will not fit into a Boxster.

I have been wrong before so it would not surprise me if I am wrong this time.
