    I have driven a 996 GT3, and it is an animal. I loved it.

    I have heard a 997 GT3 is a little more civilized, but have never driven one.

    Frankly, a 996 GT3 has got to be one of the best deals going. But what are your thoughts on the 997 version?

    IMO all 997 versions of the GT3 are now significantly overpriced.

    996 GT3 is a great value, more raw (no TC/PSM/etc), but hurt by the 996 image, and the 996 interior.

    Cool beans. I hope more people think they are ugly. It's like when I complained about the paint on my Challenge Stradale, the service manager looked at me and said, "Nobody notices when you're going fast." :)
