I think you can't lose with either choice.

Blasphemy! Get both.

Obviously you still love to drive and looking at your sig I can see why. My impression is: you have had variations of the TT in the past, why not try something new?

I guess some seat time in a GT3 would say yay or nay.

Hold on to your targa for another couple years and pick up the Panamera. It's going to be one hell of a grand tourer with lots of power and there will be no issues with golf clubs.

As a daily driver for tooling around the country club, my vote is for the Turbo. The heavy clutch on the GT3 might be a bit much for daily use esp if you are approaching 70.

If it's your last car, you want a car that you can enjoy. I think you will genuinely enjoy a GT3 more than a Turbo which is a tad piggish and more of a GT car nowadays (yes, I said it...)


But please drive both and decide. That is the first step here


In the meantime, you have a nice T4S. Enjoy it!

Forget the Porsche and get a H1 and add 50 inch rims. Now we are talking.

Aloha

P.S. I vote turbo.

I say GT3 all the way. But maybe for you a TT with a GT3 front end and some GT3RS wheels with turbo center caps.
Best of both worlds.
