gt3 or 997 turbo??

Me and my friend are not getting one of these cars any time soon, but we were talking about a 997 turbo or a gt3. what one would be more fun? i like both but i would pick the gt3, something a na motor and a tune suspension sound awesome. my friends pick a 997 turbo, the biggest reason was they were the 1ST to put a turbo as a production vehicle. i know most of you have drove both. i would like to know what one you would pick? thank you

Street: GT3, Track: GT3. I sold my turbo and got a .2 GT3.

Maybe if Posche makes the turbo more of a sports car and less of a GT car then I may consider going back. Right now, it may be one wickedly fast ****, but it's too soft with too much body roll as well as being too quite. It also sits too high and doesn't have the new BIG reds the GT3 has. 991 turbo... who knows.

GT3.

I drove both. 997TT is more GT than sports car compared to GT3. Previously owned a modded 996TT. Numbers and speed don't mean sh*t. The GT3 is all about emotion

Cool GT3 and turbo charge it

I have a gt3 and driven them all including CGT. I love the feel and responsiveness of the gt3. After driving min for about 46k I needed more. So I twin turbo charged it. The car is an animal, all the great things of the gt3 with another 140 hp. GT2 territory. Dynoed 445 at 4.5 psi will dyno next week at 6 psi. Should bring another 25 to 30 to the sneakers. That is just my opinion. Doing a 07 now.
