Default OT- 2 or 1

Well my 84 911 track car has been aborted so after the big sell off I am trying to figure out whats next. Should I keep my 2002 C2 that now is really well set up and buy a 3.2 911 (G-50) OR should I sell the C2 and buy a 996 GT3?

I am really enjoying my C2 and would love an air cooled 911 just to play with but after driving my students 997.2 GT3 world challenge (photos coming soon) I have the GT3 bug...

Thoughts.....

Thanks,

Scott

If you have garage space I think adding the air cooled would be a blast.
There is a nice 82' sc at Barrett Jackson, Sorry just the devil in me!

Very tough decision, but if the garage space allows it would be nice to have the air cooled to play around with...

If you love the track, GT3 should be the only animal calling your name. Anyone, (in here) who has a Gt3 variant, never seems to want for an air cooled. However, air cooled owners, for the most part, seem to dream/desire of GT3's. My. 02.

Thanks for all the replies. Well it sounds like the consensus is GT3. I do a good amount of track work and a ton of instruction work. I have done a lot of work on the C2 and its near prefect for what I want it to do. I have driven my share of GT3 (996 & 997) and they are great. Well it will take so time before I get everything sold so I have time to make the decision:
996 C2 + 3.2 911 > 996 GT3
Or
996 C2 + 3.2 911 < 996 GT3

If anyone is looking for a track car project let me know:
