If you're driving it daily and live in London then PDK is marvellous. If it's a fun weekend car PDK ruins it.
A gen 1 997 Turbo can be had for gen 2 Carrera money and has the engine that doesn't break. It's very fast and comfy, maybe too fast and comfy for attacking a b-road, but for livening up visiting the in-laws in Bognor or blasting down to Monaco it's amaze and can easily return 27mpg.
A GT3 is for Sunday blasts. The 997 and 991 are more squishy and useable than the 996, but still have enough of a sense of occasion to feel like you own a racing car rather than a fast coupe.
Mrs Hefty will drive and passenger in a Turbo, but not a GT3.
What you actually need is a GT2, which comes with the wooshy speed of the turbo, the sense of occasion of the GT3 and the constant imminent risk of a fiery death. I get jittery just thinking about driving one.

another question - pdk worth it?
doubling the fund and going for a turbo worth it in shit-stained pants factor?
or quadruple the fund and go balls deep > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-911-3-8-468bhp-PDK-GT3-/262440139566?hash=item3d1aa6bb2e:g:GMUAAOSwHoFXtZFl
