just amazing at what the new turbo does compared to a 997 GT2

 

I've never driven either car. I'm sure, compared to my 6 GT3, both offer some amazing stuff. But I think the trend continues, if one reads a bit between the lines. My guess, almost all drivers of reasonably high competence will have more fun driving the GT3. There's no way to measure that statistic. And conversely, those who are unwilling to put the effort into learning the GT3, will prefer the turbo, or find themselves in the weeds with the GT3.

 

I would agree with much of what you said, however, the .2 gt3 has PSM and TC so unless disabled the weeds should remain along the side of the road. Your 996 gt3 requires more talent than the .1 which requires more talent than the .2, all being relative; w/security enabled.

 

It sucks that they didn't provide any lap times... Who cares about straight line? The GT3s are made for the track!

I wonder what their track times would be compared to each other...

 

This was my take, I felt the same way. They should've done a lap time... bottom line is that the Turbo gives more of an artificial acceleration feel, not so much more practical but interior practical...its 4wd... its just not as fun and exiting as a GT3, not as raww!....Turbo is a true engineering power and speed coupe, equipped with PDK (thats where the strong numbers come from) I still take the GT3 over the turbo... I like raw everything

It would have been nice if they added some Lap times.

 

im sure the smaller tighter tracks the gt3 will rape the turbo...

 

Thanks for the post! good find as I'm in the market for either car and cant decide....
