I'm sure you've heard this but...
997GT3 is meant to be much better on-road than 996GT3 due to its adaptive suspension, yet is still quicker round the track.
My 0.2 Rollcage is an option that has to be ticked
Will you delete the air-con? It takes a brave man in So Cal but saves useful weight
Did you consider the 997TT? If not, how come?
Also what's your 55 putting out? You'd miss that brutal straightline acceleration, not that the GT3 is wanting

No to the TT simply due to handling. With mods as o like it, cost is too much.
We'll see. i may break and get one instead.
AC is a questin, right now i am leaning at removal, as all my older pcars and bimmers really got affected by it. The E doesn't care.
E is putting out stock now. RENN stage 5 soon.

Now I understand why you're going for the GT3 ahead of the TT. If you only had one car, it would have to be the TT, but as you have a "slow little daily runaround" the GT3 will deliver even more of a drivers drive.
My 996TT was simply amazing, you'll have a hell of a time.
Not that it's worth much to you, but I vote for no air con either. Go big or go home!!

TT has got loads of torque and is more of a "GT" ... oddly the "GT3" is more track car to me ...
TT has less space for bags - GT3, oddly, has more space for bags...
Tough choice - but if you not sure GET BOTH !!!
Everyone raving about the VTG turbo's - lag almost non exsitent apparently...

I saw a white 997 GT3 this weekend and it was beyooootiful, but a little too spoiler'd out for my tastes. Wicked sounding car, although the only Pcars I'd ever buy have turbo's and awd. Rear engine/rwd is only for the truly brave.

I think the GT3 is better looking which has mostly to do with the wheels and it being dropped. do the same to the TT and now you're talking!!

Unless you want to go directly to Germany and order it there at the factory, just pick your Porsche dealer here in the States and get the ordering information that you need directly from them.

It could have been a test car, but I doubt it too. Doesn't the customer production line start in September?
The gt3 order guide is on rennlist.
