Turbo or GT3, what do you prefer?
 

Just curious.

No GT2 on the list?

I'm trying to keep the price range relatively close. GT2 is way up there in cost. Plus I figured everyone would choose that, which makes for a boring survey.

gt3 rs,all the way.......get that awd stuff out of here.

It depends. I have (rich) friends who have both a 996 GT3 and a 997 Turbo. They are almost chalk and cheese. If you want a car that is stupid fast, ok on the road and awesome on the track get the GT3. If you want a car that is stupid fast, awesome on the road and ok on the track get the Turbo. On a twisty track I can outrun the turbo, on a track with long straights he will eat me alive. GT3 kicks my a$$ whatever the track :)

Hey Jeph, fun question! :)

I was torn between the only convertible choice (Turbo Cab.) but then sided with the GT3 RS because then I could get my orange Porsche.

Top Gear says the 997 GT3 is much more usable on a daily basis than the previous 996 GT3. I think I lean towards the GT3 vs the RS, and I'm not sure why. It might be because I don't track HARD CORE, so that roll cage is of no real use to me. Nor is the even LESS weight.

But, Jeph, it's a freaking orange roll cage!!!! :)

This is a question I always ask myself.

In my world a year ago I would have said the GT3 but today I would buy the TT.

Why?
A 3 year old daughter who loves the Boxster and would rather leave mom at home than ride in the X5. With the TT we can all go together.

So yes in my house a TT would be the family car.

GT3 for me.....

Another vote for GT3 RS! Orange is cool but I really like the green :cheers:

I voted for the GT3 based soley on the fact that I would one day like its bumper on the front of my Boxster.

Truthfully, if I had the money I'd buy an Italian with the engine in the proper place.

So something like this Mike?

The Turbo in my opinion is a much better daily driver than the GT3. I mainly drive my car most days and the GT3 would shake the colon too much!

All wheel drive and nicely appointed full leather interior with a sunroof and Bose system is much more of a creature comfort mobile!!

Turbo cab!

I work too much too appreciate the benefits of the suspension in the GT3

Im all about the looks!!!!

I would 'prefer' to drive a GT3, I always like naturally aspirated better than Turbo. Like the look better too.

But..... if I were to buy one right now I would go Turbo b/c it has a backseat and I could bring the kids along.

Having driven all the above at speed on racetracks as a PCA instructor, there is no comparison. GT3RS wins hands down. Closest you can get to a real GT3RSR and worth every penny.

I'll take the green one

GT3 RS all the way!!! The sicker, the better!!!!! Love the crazy colors!!!!

I've heard the Turbo-Cab being described as the 'Ultimate 4wd". Really a great car for four seasons - with back seats and crazy versatility. Not to mention it does 0 - 60 in 3.8 seconds (with Tip). I seem to be in the minority, but it has my vote!
