Anyone own both GT3 and TT?
Sorry.. reposted in the GT3 and Turbo forums...
###################################
Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the good information provided through 6speed. I've been looking for a 997.1 GT3 and while shopping, heard about the great deals on new 09 997 turbos. It looks like I can get a one of the few remaining new 997TTs for about $110k ($140k MSRP). That seems to be a really good discount on a turbo with the last of the reliable race-bred engine. I expect the 2010 TT (with a new unproven engine) to be selling in the $130k+ territory once they are released for sale. New 2010 GT3s are available for 3-5% discount.
Alternatively, preowned 997.1 GT3s are going for 85-95k (MSRP ranges from $110-140k). The GT3s typically have low mileage <10k miles, and are in good condition, they can be CPO'ed for an extra $2k extending their warranty out to 2013 (comparable to a new 09 TT).
I've driven both cars and definitely appreciate each one's character. The tight/precise feel of the GT3 vs the turbo with its more more refined feel - lot's of power with nice amenities/comfort for daily driving.
I don't want to start another GT3 vs TT thread. I've spent the whole weekend reading up on that never-ending argument.
What I would like to hear is opinions from people who have owned BOTH cars and have put at least 1000 miles on BOTH types of cars (street and/or track driving).I'm coming off of a 997S which I tracked about 10% of the time. I plan on tracking my new car - be it GT3 or TT, at the same rate 10%. Probably 4x per year at PCA events and various clubs. I know the TT will be a good car that will last a long time. But the GT3 will be more fun and "pure" porsche in the short term - and is currently 20k less expensive for the preowned ones.

havent owned either, but given the huge performance difference in the new models. i would choose either new turbo or new Gt3 RS, considering the major differences i feel the old turbo/RS prices will drop given the demand will now tilt towards the new..
450HP naturally aspirated RS or 500HP turbo is just insane...
