I prefer the Turbo S to the GT cars because I can bring the kiddos in the back, its super fast, and can do well in the canyons, around town, and on the track.

I'd love me a GT-3rs, that I could drive around and really open up on the track, but the "all-rounder" benefit of the Turbo S has that on my list pretty high. I also like a convertible, so Turbo S is the only choice for me.
Yes, the 911 Turbo's are great for the street but not very competitive on the track compared to a GT-3. A lot of cars are great for the street as Steve Millen would say it's not a matter of how fast you can go but how fast you go. As a POC driving instructor in SoCal, mine is primarily used for the track. I have about 200 days of track driving experience and it is very humbling.
