I've driven them all. Choosing a car, let alone choosing a 911 variant is a very personal thing.
Even the 911 factory drivers are split across the TTS and GT3RS for their personal cars with at least one Cayenne GTS owner.
To each their own.
As for me, I own two race cars ... some compare motorsports to drugs, if so autocross is entry level, DE is a gateway drug, and wheel to wheel racing is truely designer grade stuff! An occasional romp on the track with the GT3 or now my GT3RS is certainly fun. On the road, especially something twisty, I'll always grab the keys to whatever Porsche GT car I own at the time!
The only way I'll sell a GT car is when another is already in bound.
The problem is,
If you don't track? Why not get a comfortable 500-600hp sedan?
Audi RS7
BMW M
AMG
Panamera turbo
I like comfort on the road and no comfort on track.
I have two RS7's (mine and my wife's). Used to have a Panamera Turbo. Couldn't agree more with your suggestion above.
First world problems, I know, but I guess what I was looking for is a 911 I could really drive on a more daily basis the the GT3 (more understated outward appearance, less ride height issues, more year round capability) that still has much of the excitement of the GT3. I thought the 911 TTS would be it. But my point of the OP was that it isn't.
like another poster said, what I really want is a wingless (but maybe ducktail-spoilered) GT3 with rear seats, a nice stereo, a manual transmission, a nice stereo, etc. I suppose it may be the rumored upcoming Sport Classic. Short of that, maybe the closest thing to what I want is a 2014-2016 GTS coupe manual with the options I'd want, or a 911-50.
I think the answer is, as some one posted above - there is a 911 for everyone and every occasion . I can't find anything made by MB, Audi or BMW that I really like hence I daily my P cars.
I am still waiting for the perfect GT car e.g. a GT3/3RS configured like the new RSR which neatly squares the circle, perhaps it will be the 992 GT3 One can only hope.
Good one. I've smoked all Turbos, Ferraris, and Lambo's, Vettes in the Canyon. On my 100RR or GT3. Dont matter. SIMPLE. Turbo almost flew off the snake trying to keep up last summer. Ask Rnickeymouse.

Seems there is some demand for the mooted 'touring edition' GT3...
When we first saw Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo wagon concept at the 2012 Paris Auto program, consensus was that this is definitely not just a concept. Our thoughts were that it was mainly a style sneak peek for the second-generation Panamera, which was introduced last year. Also, we hoped that it would preview a brand-new body design, one that would complement the hatchback sedan and its long-wheelbase version. 2018 Porsche Panamera
And voila! It has arrived. Porsche is making a station wagon—well there you have a statement we never ever expected to type– variation of the Panamera, and its name will be the very same as the earlier concept car’s: Panamera Sport Turismo.
Under the hood, the Panamera Sport Turismo sports most of the regular model’s powertrain options, with all-wheel drive being standard. The entry-level variant will be the 330-hp Panamera 4, the 440-hp 4S is one level above, and there will be a Turbo model with 550 horse power. Connoisseurs of electrical cars will be happy to hear about the 462-hp Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Sport Turismo. The only missing link is a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo, however do not stress: We hear that a 680-hp version will join the lineup sooner than later.

If you haven't driven a Turbo S before, be ready. It can be an out of body experience.
