Hey Fred. This is interesting as i'm trying to decide whether i should keep my Turbo and upgrade to around 600 bhp or sell and try to find a 997 3 of my liking...?
To be honest, while i feel like the 997 3 has my Turbo beat in almost every area, i'm having trouble parting with boosted acceleration. How did you do it so easily, especially with 650bhp? I went for a pretty nice ride (and test drive for that matter) in a 997 3 and wasnt all that impressed with its acceleration capabilities compared to my Turbo, which albeit maybe has 480 bhp, but made the GT3 seem a lot slower (possibly due to the "all at once" thrust boost produces). Does a LWFW make any difference? Seemed like it took forever to reach 8,000 revs.
What you think about doing a couple short burst on our way down to So Cal (only in completely open road from say 60-100)? You can email your thoughts. Also, would you mind giving a test ride sometime? I'd like to see how much quicker the car gets up to redline with a LWFW. Look forward to talking more about this during the run! See ya soon. Cheers man!

If you are a torque junkie the GT3 will be a disapointment. If you want a more involving car to drive the GT3 is the way to go. You sound like your not willing to give up the TT's torque which is ok, you really can't go wrong either way.
I like the TT's acceleration but the GT3 is a much more enjoyable car to drive on many levels.

Thanks all for the help! I think I will be going towards the 997tt route unless I spot a low mileage gt3 at a good price. I already built a evo for track so I will be using the 997 daily
