The GT3 is a street legal, track car. You can drive it to work all week and take it to the track on the weekend.
The engine on a 997.1 is a 3.6 Dry Sump that produces 415 hp. It is based on the GT1 block and it doesn't have a RMS problems, it also redlines at 8400 RPM. It comes with a better suspension, and the car is lighter then a C2 or C2S. I have tried to get my C2S as close as possible to a GT3 in performance, but it will never be one.

Then how does the GT3 compare to the Turbo. What's the rational for Porsche to break it down into GT3 < Turbo < GT2 in terms of pricing/ performance?
Now if you'd like to comment to teach me a few things about the GT3, GT2 and the Turbo, I'll track her down and introduce you!

It is more like Turbo<GT3<GT2 in terms of performance on the track. The biggest complaint about the turbo, is it is sprung too soft, more like a GT car then a Sports Car. Don't get me wrong the Turbo is an awesome car, but for me the NA Rawness of the GT3 is what I would spend my money on.

I am no expert on pricing, both are above my pay grade!
I think it depends on the options, but if the GT3 is less $, then it is a good deal.
