for all intensive purposes, for the sake of this argument - i'm talking
about the 911 997 line
you say for 'my money, the best buy' - ok, if you throw the money equation
out...
1.) what would you rather drive?
and
2.) what would you rather live with, on a day-to-day basis?
i would assume out of the three 911's...the Turbo would feel/drive the
most
different than the GT3 and Carrera, since it's all-wheel drive and twin
turbo charged - is that a safe assumption to make, w/o ever driving a GT3?
