Same stable in terms of modern cars. If I had to pick one it would be the TTS given it’s usability (to me) in nearly all circumstances including heavy (but not flooding - have an SUV for that) rain. I’m happy to have the group but any one of them is amazing.

Ditto. GT3 is more thrilling than a TT. But if I could only have one, it would be a TT with Burmester and heated and cooled seats . If I were allowed to add another it would be a GT3x - or something equally or more fun for special weekend enjoyment.

I swapped from a 997tt to a 991.1 GT3 and only thing I miss is the torque sometimes. The GT3 are better looking stock, better sounding and better feeling. In a 991.2 GT3 now and love it little more than the .1

Hopefully he's laughing because he got that I was just messing with folks in a fun way.
I'm a power junky, so I prefer the TTS, but would certainly own both if I wasn't part of the average "working class".

If I enjoyed the same pay grade as some folks I'd still have my 991.2 TTS as well.
I found driving a TTS or TT is like being in a big ol luxury cruiser.... albeit a "straight line FAST" luxury cruiser.
However being unemployed and on fixed income..... maybe when I get older I'll appreciate the TTS and all it has to offer, but til then.... GT3-for-me!!

Same for me on the pay grade, I'm working class! Can only afford one toy. My winter beast is an old Jeep.

Drove the GT3 to work today for the first time, and it was pure joy. What an awesome machine. Had more fun than in my TT. Now I get why people clamor for these cars. Love the front end...love the front axle lift.

My biggest surprise thus far, besides not being able to get the wireless internet to work, is the Bose, the PCCB, the zero body roll, and how awesome that engine sounds at all RPM.

They have improved the Bose over my 445 W unit in my old GTS. It's night and day improvement for me- quite pleasantly surprised. Nice job Bose! Never thought I'd say that.

I couldn't resist a lava orange TT to go along w/ my yellow GT3
She doesn't understand
Worst part is I still want a blue one! :-)

i have a 15 TTS and 15 GT3, love them both equally, two totally different cars for two totally different purposes. TTS is the ultimate supercar for a DD, not to loud, luxury comforts and quick as hell, especially with a cobb tune. gt3 is like a animal out of its cage, aggressive as hell and love it

cant see myself without both now
