Particularly of note is the PADM. Basically switchable engine mounts to stop the drive train moving around for track days, but loosen it up for road driving.

Improved brakes, bigger disks, better cooling.

More power, more displacement.

And it's the only 911 you really want.

"What is key to me is not how quickly I do something..."

Clearly, given the GTR is faster

This will hopefully make the 997 GT3s depreciate a bit quicker

Now all I have to do is make sure the spend stays in budget on the house build

I think I've just jazzed my pants

But which would rather have if could afford it?

I'd be very surprised if GTR feels better to drive and I

People may be surprised to hear that times don't matter so much to me.

I can't just help thinking that if you did a fast lap in the GT-R you'd be worried it was the car that did all the work. In the 911, you'd be pretty damn certain that it was driver skill.

So I may well be able to get a quicker lap out of the GT-R, but that would be far less an achievement.
