Ground clearance for the 997 GT3 and GT3RS are the same - 93mm
Ground clearance for the 997 TT - 110mm
GT2 - ??

To get the entire picture though, you also have to look at the approach angles. Even though the TT has more ground clearance than the GT, it's as likely (if not more) to scrape the front becasue of approach angle.

TT approach angle 7.9º

JH.. true, but I think that the distance from the contact point to the front lip is the same, therefore if the only variable is the clearance then lower=more scraping

MJ.. cool thank you!
