All good points, some of which I've already toiled over others which I hadn't yet considered, so thanks. In regards to the 996 TT I don't think it has the handling or trackability I'm looking for. I actually just drove a low mileage one the other day and found it a little soft versus the Cayman in regards to steering feel and agility and I prefer NA engines over turbos. It was fast but it didn't feel like I was going fast. My personal preference is instantaneous throttle input that translates into forward motion as this is a more natural extension of thought/reaction.

Interior is definitely inferior to the 997 but not a deal breaker for me. I typically spend 99.9% of my time looking out rather than in so driving feel gets a higher weighting , and hey, it's still better IMO than the 08' Z06.

As for street drivability, I don't do a whole lot, an hour or so 1 or 2 times a week when the weather's decent. NY weather and traffic don't favor sports cars. The only upgrade I could see doing in the immediate future would be something like Motons, I have read that the range of adjustability is good from everyday street to hard core track, kinda like PASM but slightly more effort.?.

Karrera4, thanks. Your comment about the more visceral feel of the GT3 is deciding point. I've engaged a few sellers and am waiting to see service records on two at the moment. I'm ready to "pull the trigger" so to speak, it's just about finding a good example.
