Porsches are nice and are way out of our Z's league in all catagories....However they are not the best looking cars imho....I work around Manhattan Motors in NYC and I see Gallardos, Murci's, Saleen S7, Lotus, Aston Martins, F430's etc and the funny thing is whenever any of those cars are around any Porsche the Porsche disappears...it looks so plain and ordinary next to those kind of cars.....I love Porsches and dont mind the shape personally but I dont thing they are beutiful cars.

BTW that color is awful... white, red or black are the only 3 colors that make Porsches look great IMHO.

I'd take a GT3 over a Z 4 times over.
Those things are beautiful and perform almost as great as the 911 turbo
Get the GT3; its a no-brainer

You're definitely paying for the Porsche name though. I'd like to think that for 106K that I could buy a Z and make it perform AT LEAST as good as a Porsche. Hell, I could probably come close for half the price. So what are you paying for? The name and the status of owning a Porsche...

My friends dad actually just purchased a new GT3. They ordered it and its supposed to be here any day now. His dad already has a Carrera 4S, Cayenne S, and they also specially ordered a yellow Cayman S to use on the track. I think they sold the Cayman & r gonna use the GT3 for the track. And my favorite part about the Cayman was that he would never race me and everytime I would have my Z out he would put the Cayman up. Oh well, I cant wait to ride in the GT3!

Why doesn't this GT3 have a roll cage in it yet? The GT3 has very comfortable seats, clutch is very heavy though and steering is very quick at high speed so its no grand touring car like the Z is. Trust me the GT3 is an amazing car, even if your not a fan of the 996, drive a 996-GT3 and you will wet yourself, its that amazing. I havn't been in a 997 yet but soon enough i suppose.
