No, they do fit the same bolt pattern on the floor, but....the connector for the seat is different. That is because in a 996 the side airbags are in the door. In a 997 they are in the side of the seat.

well the airbag can be left unlpuged and you still use the one in the door just change the seat belt portion and you are fine! so yes GT3 seats fit fine..
just like RUF and other people putting in the 996 gt3 seats in the 997's
