997 GT3 vs 997TT

Deciding between a 997GT3 and 997TT for March production. It will be my daily driver as my current '04 C4S has been and also a track car for the summer season (10-12 events). I put 12k miles on per year. I don't baby the car at all. Rain, snow or shine - it goes out.

The 997TT is a great looker with all the creature comforts and all wheel drive. Fast as hell - but will it handle to my satisfaction or understeer like a pig?

While the 997GT3 be a great track machine, can I drive it daily?

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've been tracking a 996 TT cab for 2 years(and daily driver)....very fast on the track, but feels like a fat pig in the twisties. Switching to the 997 GT3 (as daily driver and track car)

The new 3 is supposed to be much more DD friendly.
Do it!

Your going to love either one. Turbo would fit the bill better as a daily driver however. All it needs is a drop and an exhaust and it would be perfect. GT3 needs nothing.
