The gen 1 997 GT3 gets AF's vote as "best all-rounder". I'd have to agree now gen 2's have gone to £110k+ / approx 25% more than the gen 1. I just F%&@ing know in 20 years time I'll look back on today and wish I'd bought one to put in my pension laugh

The best all-rounder: 997 GT3 (gen 1)
By the time the 996 GT3 gave way to the 997 GT3, Porsche understood exactly who its customers were and what they wanted to drive. So the first 997 was rip-snortingly quick, thanks to a Mezger engine by then up to 415bhp, and with some classy work on the aero front, actually quicker around the Nürburgring than even the previous-generation GT2. So far so good, but it was also a very usable car, with decent ride quality and even reasonable refinement on a long drive. Better looking than the 996 and with all the improvements of the standard 997, to me this is the clear bargain of the GT-series line-up.
