GT3 is the less poncey of the two.

The Turbo is utterly fantastic and a complete weapon when tuned, not my kind of car though.

I've voted GT3 but it would have to be the RS for me.

Mmmmmm roll cage as standard

Well, unlike my last poll (F355/F380/AMV8) this one appears to be a landslide in favour of the GT3!

Interesting. But there are a lot of track day nutters on here

Out of interest, has anyone been in or driven both?

I read that the GT3 can now do normal road driving much better than it could before, so it's become a much better all rounder.

Only driven a 996 GT3, it was quite nice.

Not an RS as the guy who originally bought it didn't like white, spent an extra

Isnt it over a 100bhp and a load of torque? You would definately notice that.

Turbo all day long for me.

GT3 every time. The turbos just look a bit fussy and the classic 911 shape gets lost. Its a shame they dont do a gt3 without the daft dinner table on the back.

Turbo every time... and in white and I would respray the shiney alloys black.

Much more useable day-to-day, nicer interior and faster too.

If you want to go really crazy it's really easy to modify too.

No brainer for me!

This is my understanding.

If it had to be an only car and we were talking about the GT3 RS, I might be tempted to go for the Turbo.

Now that would be a tough decision
