The video summizes what we have been debating. The 911 R is more geared for the street and the engine in the GT3 superior.

Apples and oranges. Two cars designed for totally different purposes, each one superior to the other for the designed purpose. Nothing to settle.

That means you haven't read the " Any 911 R for sale recently " thread.

More like Red Delicious to MacIntosh - they are both red apples with slightly different flavor.

I have. I think the 911R owners are content with their ownership and investment of a one in 991 cars, then those that don't have a 911R are pouring in the sour grapes to take them down! Ack, going for cover now
