...Though not in the GT3. That's strictly a street car.
35,000+ miles of street use in 21 months!

^ Very interesting. So far I have liked the 6 GT3 more then I expected for the same reasons you stated. My DE focused 993 is listed for sale but I am hoping it doesn't sell until after I have had an opportunity to drive it back to back with the GT3. I know the GT3 will be the faster one but will it be that much more fun is what I am really curious about.

That's funny Mooty 
The 993 I have is not very streetable since it was converted to a 90% focus track car a few years ago. Its a lot of fun on the track but not so much fun on the street.
I run in the Red group in my region and all but about 4 cars are GT3 types. So after years of being one of the 4 non GT3 members I thought I should give in and give the GT3 a try. So far the 6gt3 has been a lot of fun on the street and based on all the replies here it will probably be a ton of fun on the track. I won't know this until our season starts up again which isn't until next May.

That was going to be the next step which was full race suspension. Carm, if you put those JRZ's in then you wont want or need another car! I recently drove a new porsche and I thought I was in a limosine, it freaked me out (not saying anything bad about the new porsche ). I miss everything about the GT3, the squeaks, the harsh ride, the stiff clutch, the constant fear of the engine shaking loose. You will love it on the track...and if you don't, I will buy it back from you. I am in serious withdrawl. The only thing better on the track is a cup car or a suped up civic 
Can't wait to come up to Calabogie with my next car...currently putting it together
