Depends if your a track person. I don't track my car so I prefer straight line performance. If your thinking of tracking then I would buy the GT3. I would keep the turbo and buy a cheaper car for the track and have it as a dedicated track car.

If you have more than 2 years with the the turbo than yes go for the 991 gt3 , you will get bored with straight line performance of the turbo, and besides the new 991 gt3 looks very very good , its new technology , better gearbox , better interior(you will love it) , and the straight performance isnt bed at all , 3.5s 0-60 , 7s to 100mph and 11.5s to 124mph isnt bad from a N/A engine

Maybe by the time they are actually available I may be doing the same thing myself. The new GT3 will be a great car. I don't know how you could go wrong. The price is pretty steep for one appointed as I would like it around $155,000 though. I say go for it.

If you don't track the car ,why get a GT3? It's designed to be a track day car.
