GT3 at altitude
I’m wondering. How fast (and quick) would the GT3 touring be at altitude? I live at about 7000 feet. I love the GT3T, but I’m wondering if maybe it would lose too much power to be much fun. Should I get an M4 instead? Something else turbocharged? I just don’t like the stubby little spoiler on the 911 Turbo. (Though I’m sure it is plenty fast.). Other ideas?

I lived @ 6,000 ft altitude and the rule of thumb was a loss of 16-18% for a normally aspirated engine. A turbo charged engine aka 996 /997 turbo wouldn't lose anywhere near that figure, so there is a big performance advantage strait away.
Living with a "stubby little spoiler" shouldn't be an issue - you can always change it.....

Secondly, I imagine the GT3T would still be fun at altitude but yes you will be giving up some power. What about a 911 GTS? 450 turbocharged horses and no stubby spoiler.
