I'm sure there is plenty of space for us both to be average

Ha ha. Kind of what I meant in my comment.apollokre1d said:Not taking anything away from you but maybe they were just average.. like me

A mate has a 997GT2 and remarks on how driving GT3s is nice, but lacking in acceleration drama - boostless.
I'm worried, that the lack of grunt might make me regret any such change. PLus, given the turbo's excellent all-weather manners, and the higher value of the car, would I use it as much and can (therefore) I justify the cost?
It's easy to forget how good the 996/7 turbo is. They are constantly overlooked in favour of the GT cars but, in truth, they're also great on track. Yet, the way people talk about turbos, you'd think they were useless, lardy creations, with no ability on circuit.
Right you are, in the hands of a good driver a turbo can keep up or ahead of a GT3.
