All in theory of course

I haven't included RS or GT2.

Just to aid the discussions, some pictures

Turbo - nutter rocket ship which will also do a good stint as a track car....




GT3 - rocket ship which is also now quite handy on the road by all accounts...




Discuss.

I would only ever want a 997 because it was a 2+2.

It would therefore have to be the turbo.

GT3 because I like the fact its not a turbo and still 415hp

Its been a long time since I drove a Turbo of any sort so I would need to try both just to check

Not sure budgie, seems like not much in it.

The turbo appears quicker on normal roads, and in a sprint (0-100 is madness) AWD grip so it's good in the wet.

The GT3 is a bit more extreme and faster on track, probably more fun....

I think Evo dyno'd the GT3 at 420 ish!

I can't decide so not voted yet

The turbo looks nicer I think, and will probably induce laughter and fear in that order. Must find someone to take me out in one...
