I agree with Khalid ... looks like you would be better with the Turbo

Generally, if you need to ask... the turbo should be your choice. Sounds like you want a more comfortable street rocket and something you can spend gobs of cash on modding....the turbo fits the bill nicely. If I didn't track my GT3, I would probably turbo-ise.

Once again, if you have to ask this question then you've already answered. If you hesitate between the TT and the GT3 you are better suited for the TT. The purest knows from the outset that he has to have the GT3 and will accept her for everything she has to offer. For you, BUY the TT, if you have to ask this question you really don't belong in the saddle of the GT3...

Good Luck,

Kenny

You answered your own question when you said you've never tracked your car. You don't want to come out onto a track with a GT3 as your first track car. It will eat you up.

They are both special, but most Turbo owners seem to purchase a GT3 second time around. I don't hear as much the other way. The GT3 is just more raw and connected to the road.

One more thing to consider, depends on what other cars you have in your stable, for example if you already have your high HP cruiser why add a turbo? In that case go for the raw GT3.

Get a GT3 and turbo it, then you'll **** off everybody.

If you plan on doing a good deal of track time with the car, and by "a good deal" I mean "at least twice a month", and/or you live somewhere that involves a several mile long twisty backroad commute, go for the GT3.

If you like playing with Ferraris and Lambos on the highway, or spend a lot of time on "normal" roads and what something you can build up into the 6-700+ HP range if you so desire, the Turbo is a better choice.

I'd say get a GT2 and call it a day.

GT3 except be aware Porsche stipulates any repairs due to tracking may not be covered.

To qualify this, if your dealer is decent, this means they won't cover it if you do something stupid like miss a shift and bend a valve. Others get nervous if your car is totally decked out with track gear. Our local ones are great, and respond how I think they should. As long as their isn't evidence you have mistreated the car, they have your back. If it is evident you rag the car out, or use it as a club racer...maybe not so much.

I think that is fair.
