Same here. 3 kids below 8. I enjoy driving with my kids and unless porsche makes a 5 seater 911, my wife willhave to stay home for now. Thats why I bought the TTS so she can also drive the kids.

I just left my RS to remind me where I was before.

Interesting responses. The original question was which car is better for street driving and rough streets. Not which is the better true sports car. The GT3 is a purpose built beast, no question in almost every way its a better pure sports car. GT's are incredible cars, best Porsche cars I have ever driven. That being said, the Turbo is SO easy to enjoy in many different situations - so if you can only have one and your not a track guy I don't think its a simple no brainer. I will have more miles on my Turbo in the first 6 months of ownership than over two years in my GT3. Now, having one of each - automotive nirvana!

This is exactly what my friend who owns a 991.2 gt3 and then bought the 996 turbo said. His GT3 is his favourite but he drives his turbo more. If I am lucky enough to do a deal at the beginning of driving season I will keep my turbo and decide after seeing which keys I find myself reaching for more often. If I was able to get this particular GT3 now and keep my turbo, I would probably have to hold both cars for the next six months and I don't have the space to make that work.

Doesn't really matter now anyways. I am told the GT3 will be sold 25k CAD over msrp. I would rather take my chances come next year instead of paying that and parking it until May.
