View Poll Results: GT2 or GT3...which one do you prefer
The GT2 will be faster, but the GT3 will be more fun to drive anyways. The GT3 will make you a better driver because it won't allow you to rest on torque and hp, you have to know how to drive it to go fast. In the GT2 you can go slow in the turns and blast the straights, brake hard and still turn a good lap time.
__________________ The GT-R is harder to drift than a 997 TT or 997 GT3, therefore if you are trying to drift, the GT-R will consequently get a faster lap. Normal apexing and driving not included.
996 GT3/GT2 No Electronic Nannies to get in the way Priceless. I have had both 996GT3 and 996GT2. Both are awesome cars. I talked to the new owner of my old GT3 and could have purchased it back. I loved the GT3, the only new Porsche I have ever had, but the GT2 is a worthy replacement. I don't buy into the GT3 can be more rewarding and the GT2 is just point and shoot. A properly set up GT2 will run rings around a properly set up GT3 on the racetrack. The only thing I miss about the GT3 is the engine screaming when it hits 8000 rpm.

Agree with everything you said and have also owned both 996 versions-with mods. That being said, it may be time for a change from the GT2 and I've been thinking hard about the next GT3. Love the hi-rpm scream of these engines. IMO, the GT2 is better on the street given it's torque characteristics and will be ultimately faster on the track(with an experienced GT2 driver) but the GT3 will be more fun on the track for most drivers. They're both great cars, just wish I could keep both.
GT2 if you can afford it. Otherwise, GT3 is still a great car and you can validate your purchase by saying it's more of a driver's car the next time someone on the forum asks for an opinion.
The GT2 will be faster on the road, of course, and on most tracks. But the killer argument for the GT3 is its price compared to the GT2. The higher cost of the GT2 does not justify the value you get for it, in my opinion.
