The GT3 is an awesome car, I dont think you would be happy with it as a DD, you have the Porsche TT and after sitting in that you would feel like its been castrated.
I hope we are making this easy for you, LOL !

GT3 for weekend fun. I have been told it is too raw for a DD, and a little underpowered. You already have a TT, so I think you will get bored with the GT3, unless it is a track car.
The Vantage is a very nice looking car, and high on my list, but it is still underpowered. I think you would get tired of it quick.
Personally, I would go with a GT3 because I have my DD's already. I would not consider it if I still had my turbo though.

Everything you're saying makes sense...but I just can't seem to shake the GT3 from my head just yet. Something about that car....
Oh, and if I could swing it, I'd just get a Ford GT and call it a day. It's unfortunately out of my price range though.

You want to talk about bang for your buck....

I don't know of any business where n=1 is an acceptable data set.
But thanks for playing!

If its a daily I would get the CL65. Its soooooo smooth and comfortable. Then it will blow the doors off (in a straight line of course) 99% of the cars on the street. I would opt for the SL65/600 if it were me.
Edit: Or just buy my Kleemann CLK55 for alot less and call it a day...

You're a man after my own heart. To me the greatest garage combo is a GT700 TT and a CL65 - best of all worlds. For the money how can you beat the CL65 right now? I hope to pick one up at the end of the year. I mean come on, that engine is AWESOME!
