i mean are you serious on getting either or just wondering for a personal standpoint on better opinion. GT3...hands down plus not only is the price tag bigger, just the name and other goodies, turbo, etc.

A supercar vs a supercruiser...

A better question would probably be the Porsche Cayman vs the BMW Z4 coupe

I am sure that the gt3 is NA.
Rear-engined cars like the 911's allow for more aggressive late braking, however it costs more to build, right?

By the way, I saw one recently.. yellow gt3 (I believe it only came in yellow) the driver looked so confident. The car must own.

yes, the gt3 is NA. the gt3 came in all sorts of colors, not just yellow.

mr2 is a fairly cheap rear-engine car.

I didn't drive the gt3 but I'm inclined to think that it's a helluva lot better than the m3. Different engine layout, ceramic brakes on the porsche and I bet it's got better rubber too.

yes, GT3 is pretty much a car for the tracks. A better comparison would be M3 and regular Carerra.
