depends on your preference...

for me.... the line up goes a bit like

GT3 RS
GT2
GT3
Turbo S

BUT i'd have a 993 GT2 over all of them.

Yup, 997 Turbo is 4wd, GT2 is RWD

Run of the mill turbo is 500hp.

Turbo - 500bhp, 0-60 in 3.7, 194mph - £101k
GT2 - 530bhp, 0-60 in 3.7, 204mph - £128k
GT3 - 435bhp, 0-60 in 4.1, 194mph - £82k
GT3RS - 450bhp, 0-60 in 4.0, 193mph - £100k

Think i'd just go for the Turbo then......

I thought GT3's were dearer than the Turbo's...........dunno why

Maybe from looking at used prices for 996's Turbo's seem to be cheaper than GT3's!?

strange isnt it...

996 GT3's are still about 45k
996 GT3 RS's are about 60k

but the 996 turbo is around 40k

Look at 993 prices They are more expensive than 996's. I want a 993 Turbo S.

Yeah I noticed that, never really looked at 993's in great detail.

Does this mean that if you buy a 997 GT3, in 6-7 yrs time it will be worth more than a 997 turbo?

not sure .... 996 arent really coveted much. 997 seems to have a better following so might hold its values more.

Prob not though.
