Could you elaborate from your personal experience Div? Everyday use, parking in structures/lots etc? I'm curious. I love the gt-r but I can't bring myself to leave 911's because I know I'll be back.
stock for stock.02 996tt vs 2012 GTR

For everyday use the GT-R is an exceptionally good car. It's very easy to drive, comfortable (the 2012s and newer ride significantly smoother than previous versions), and is a lot more reliable than people give it credit for. Moddability is a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. It's probably the easiest driving, most well-rounded 'fast' car I've owned.
The GT2 is an icon; focused, aggressive, and a handful at the limits. I wouldn't call it difficult to drive, but it requires MUCH more attention than a GT-R does. For a pure, focused sports car, the GT2 is very hard to beat.
It really comes down to what's important to you in a vehicle and how much you want to spend. Porsche builds phenomenal autos and you can't go wrong sticking with them. Heck, I've considered going back to a P-car just so I could have a car with a manual tranny. But that doesn't take away the fact that I feel the GT-R is one of the best performance cars on the market today, at any price-point.
