They're all good.....!
If you want to track, then the GT3, if you want fast road car, then Turbo, if you want to scare yourself, then GT2....!
GT2 gets my vote.....thumbup

I guess it depends on what you want it for. Mainly track - GT3. All-weather A-to-B missile - turbo. Hooligan - GT2.

TT..without a doubt unless you are going to track it..bit of a tank for track use..but quicker on the road compared to a gt3...with a few cheeky mods quicker that a gt2 on the roads as welleek

a bit?
not so bad if you remove the drinks cabinet from the rear drawing room, rip out all the gay 4wd hardware, replace the sofas with proper seats, boost the engine to a respectable bhp and dial in some proper alignment... or you could just buy a gt2

Have to agree with the majority here, the GT3 is a great track day/occassional weekend car, the TT is probably the best allround everyday supercar money can buy, and the GT2 which I just had to have is one of those cars that really keeps your senses alert , its just impossible not to drive this car and not get an adrenalin kick. bow

My vote is most definately the GT2, though they do seem to be a bit thin on the ground at the mo. confused

Yup without a doubt imo..it does lack a bit of the fun factor of the gt3/gt2,however that can be rectified to some degree with engine remap,pipes etc.In the real world of manhole covers,soggy leaves and stray cats i cant think of any car that would have a performance edge on a slightly modded tt.

Up until 100mph yes...then the 'house-brick' airflow kicks in..it would probably breakdown if experience tells us anything

There's no such thing as 'best' - what suits one person might not suit another.

As a 'sporting' 911, my preference would be the GT3 because I prefer the linear, non-aspirated, delivery and the uncorrupted steering of the rear wheel drive cars.

And the 997 GT3 is everyday usable.

each to their own - but i had done the whole track day thing with the elise so the tt is the best all round car i could find in terms of performance and realibility (i did come from a tuscan)

if you want more fun for your money then suggest a gt3 or gt2. if however you want an all round package then the tt is the one.
