Question Serious Question: GT3 vs Turbo

Hi. I am the owner of the Prince Kalbi restaurant in Seoul, Korea. I buy cars to impress people and to have sex with beautiful girls. I'm actually very, very far from what you would call good-looking, so I usually need a lot of help from cars, watches, shoes, and expensive designer labels to impress girls.

My business has been going really well and I feel like I should buy somthing more sporty than my M5. I visited a dealer last Wednesday and narrowed my choices to GT3 and Turbo. They had a white GT3 and a black Turbo. I don't really care which is faster. I couldn't even use all the powers of my M5.

So, my question is, Between a white GT3 and a black Turbo, and between these two cars only, which do you think I will have more success at getting girls? Please don't be a dick and tell me neither would do for me, because frankly, I have had some brilliant successes with my M5 and I know I can do better with a Porsche. After all, it's a PORSCHE.

I will wait for your honest responses.

If the girl in the avatar is one of yours, you don't need another. She is beautiful. I wish she was mine.

As far as the car goes, I think you'll enjoy the turbo more.

You see when it comes to woman,,

they really don't know the difference between different car models like us guys do..

to them a Porsche is a Porsche etc... they will not say wow look at that turbo or that Gt 3 !!!

with that being said if you go for the turbo which is a awesome car get the convert cause woman love converts,, if not then for flash purpose i would say that the GT3 would be more eye catching because of the spoilers and such......

It is my experience that ladies prefer guys with convertibles. GT3 and Turbo coupes are quite serious guy cars (boys toys). The Carrera or Turbo cabriolet may be worth considering in that respect.

Myself, if I was 'on the market' (ie. not engaged to be married) I would have bought myself a Gallardo or F430 spyder. These have a much bigger 'wow' factor than any 911.

Definitely the Turbo, which has a bigger wow factor, most people doesn't even know what a GT3 is. I own a 996 GT3 and I have been asked so many times.. "Is that a Turbo?"

Besides, you may need that backseat in the Turbo one of these days in case you need to carry an extra "passenger" (pun intended)

I believe the turbo offers a more comfortable ride especially on rough streets. Women usually don't go for the "harsh" ride of a race car. Also more comfortable if getting a hummer while you drive.
If speed is not a factor, maybe a nonturbo cab in a bright colour would do the trick.

Yes, I recall one of the guys over on Rennteam was 'forced' to sell his GT3 by his girlfriend as she said it was too harsh a ride and too loud!!

Probably THE best Porsche for picking up girls though is a Porsche 356 Speedster. Can't beat that classic good-looking little car, not even by a modern F430!!

Just get a regular 997 cab and slap a turbo badge on it, she'll never know the difference, you still get laid and save some coin!

What is her name O_O !? I think I'd like to be good friends with PrinceKalbi lol (^_^)

BTW I'd vote for the turbo, cab or coupe. It still looks good.

I did 'stealth mods' to my 993 until my wife said "It rides and sounds like a race car". Now I am starting over with a race car that rides and sounds like a ?? And, it's a Tip so she can drive it too. Be one with the ying and yang, grasshoppa.
