Gt3 better then a TTS?

As a new owner of TTS.1 which has been tuned for 700HP, I have to say I am totally surprised by how much I like this car. I had a 2015 GT3 that was a precision instrument and it looked great! However, I had a smoker...Even though it was not an early engine, it smoked everytime I started the car....not 30% of the time, not 50% of the time but ALL OF THE TIME. Drove me crazy...even my garage took thirty minutes to clear out after start (no wind in seattle). My other beef was the wing was right smack in the middle of the window in my rear view mirror. As far as the smoke, the dealer kept telling me it was normal. I got fed up with it so I decided to trade it in...first talked to Ferrari about 488 before they were shipping and they wanted me to buy a used Ferrari to get on the list. That got me pissed so I went to Lamborghini and they were the nicest guys...making me want to buy a car from them (btw, I bought my TTS from Lamborghini as well). So bye-bye GT3. Now three year later, this TTS is just awesome. In fact, maybe cause its new to me, I don't even really want to drive the Lambo right now. But here is what I find. The tuned TTS really give the best combination of the Huracan, GT3 and a C4S. If I had to go down to one car to do everything I need my cars to do, the TTS would be it. So after a weekend with the car, I am loving it and honestly, I am not missing my GT3.

GT2RS....
obviously minus the awd haha. Curious to see what an exhaust and no cats does for the upper rpm, but the thing is a weapon for sure.

Just throw on some Cup2's (265 N2 spec fronts and 325 M0 spec rears) and a DSC V3 box and go hunt down every GT3 or GT3 RS out there! Sharkwerks or other exhaust is optional, but nice.

I have both a 991 GT3 and 991 TTS. They are very, very different cars. Both can be daily driven however the GT3 is much more of an experience, if there such a thing in a Porsche. The TTS is much, much more comfortable, quiet and enjoyable say for a Saturday night with your wife. The GT3 on the track is unreal not that the TTS is not but the GT3 is much more engaging and fun to drive at the limit. It is more confidence inspiring as the PDK is better at track duty. Now, I bet if you put comparable tires on the TTS it would change a lot but all else equal if I had to keep only one car I would likely keep the GT3 although I do love the TTS!

Don't forget weight here. We're talking 3528 lbs. vs. 3150 lbs., less with PCCBs on a GT3. That's a big delta, and it shows on a track, and/or you feel the weight. Listen I love the TT/TTS from 991.2, they're awesome...
BUT I will say, a GT3 is fast as stink as well. You look down after a downshift and you're doing 110 mph on the highway. and the GT3 drives small- feels more maneuverable and tossable...perfect driving experience IMO.
