I like'm both...

 

One has a sunroof, and the other one doesn't!

 

I gotta stop looking at these pics before I end up buying one of these 997 white GT3's.

It looks awesome!!

 

I like 996 GT3 much better!

 

To me it's unreal how much better the 997 looks than the 996.

 

Hey ... I recognize that car on the left ... maybe I'll go take I ride.

The 997 looks a lot smaller/lower in that pic. Other than the headlights I agree that the 997 gt3 looks better IMO. I still like the 996 overall weight/power/rawness, but in the looks department inside and out the 997 gt3 is a step-up.

 

Your right Heavy Chevy, the 997 sits so much lower. I just can't get over the weight gain the 997 put on over the 996.

 

That's my problem with it too. Could you imagine this car without the PSM or ABS (whiatever it was they added) and at the same weight as the 996 GT3? It would be unstopable, to think they added 200lbs and only 30 hp and still made the car faster, I would have taken that car over just about anything, well, except a CGT.

 

both GT3 has ABS
neither GT3 has PSM
7gt3 has PASM
the chasis of 7gt3 is far far superior than 6gt3
drove both you will understand

 

gotcha. i knew something was added, that added weight. the car still didnt need 200 extra lbs.

 

 

The largest difference is that the 997 GT3 is very very street worthy and comfortable. With an aggressive track set up, maybe not. But out of the box, for me, this is hands down the most comfortable Porsche that I have ever driven. Very pure, raw, and yet civilized when necessary. Also, some low down torque which makes it very good for low speeds around town.

 

I guess in some ways that is the dilema, Porsche decided to cater to the more civilized drivers who purchase GT3's for cruising and limited spirited driving instead of the hardcore track guys. You cant please al of the people all of the time, but it was a nice try though.

 

If only the 997 offered more ground clearance at the front...
