It's my car that someone has a chance to snap up before I PX it for a different car. I only have a week to sell it hence it is by far the cheapest one out there with the spec it has.

I was only joking as my mate w the turbo will see the thread. Both are quite superb cars and anyone would be proud to own either. Big differences: the torque of the turbo vs the top end of the gt3.. Horses for courses. The gt3 steering has more feel, delicacy and directness. Also alot harder ride and grounding issues in the gt3. If you were going on a long motorway/a road jaunt the turbo is the better choice. The gt3 suited me more for the odd track day and my limited mileage.

Would you say the GT3 feels lighter on it's feet, more nimble and more fun on a b road blast, plus obviously more involving/challenging for the driver?

I think you are correct, but don't belittle the turbo. It is built for a different purpose and had its own talents.

Ben is my mate with the turbo.. He loves all things Porsche and wanted to write the advert etc. lives round the corner and had some time on his hands. He does a mean job with a rotary polisher too which is why the gt3 sparkles!

My hubs were done this week too. It is priced to sell quickly at the level it is up at. I don't mean to push their prices down but gives an enthusiast a chance to grab a bargain.. We have had alot of interest already and it'll be gone at the weekend I think.

Looks great ,wish you had emailed me earlier, especially at that price! I have just paid 5k more for a car with 3k miles less. You wont have a problem selling it!!

Alas, that engine made the decision that it did not want to be of this earth no more.... ;(

Replacement with a 40k mile one, and no work on it........yet.
