Here the article: http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2007/12/stories/06/1.html

It's incredible how I love those 3 Porsches with their distinct characters.  :love:

if i was getting one FREE, i'd take the GT2.

if i had to buy one with my own money, it'd be the GT3 for sure.......make it the RS!  :nerd:

Having the Turbo as a daily car and the GT3 RS as a weekend/trackday toy would be enough for me. The GT2 is nice and its performance is unbelievable... but IMO it lacks the daily usability of the Turbo and the hardcore feel of the GT3 NA engine :?

hmmm i'm inclined to choose the GT2 just because it's the wildest... but since the fastest thing i've driven is a 100hp Renault Espace, i'd probably be safer driving a Turbo  :prr:

By the way, although i love how the 997 looks more like the 993, lately the more I look at the 996 the more i love it, especially the 3.4 litre models, i like their lack of agression, just clean lines :)

I'd probably most want the GT3, it should be the best to drive.

It all depends on the circumstances too, if I were looking for and everyday sportscar it'd have to be the Turbo instead. The GT2....I dno, don't see a reason for it. Not as good to drive as the GT3 and not as practical as the Turbo. I'd take one for free, but probably sell it and buy some other 911 instead.

Agree, somehow reminds me of the very primitive 911... with the sleek thin body and underrated looks  :)

I really liked that article!

As much as I luv all three of the cars, I'd luv the rawness of the GT3 RS even though its down on power to the GT2 and Turbo etc...
