Default Re: 997 GT3 vs. 997 Turbo... pros and cons..

your thoughts?
Definitely, unless this is a new type of Alcantara, they usually don't wear well. The 330i and M3 Competition Packages both have Alcantara steering wheels and both are often replaced under warranty. Usually the replacement wheel is the regular leather one. Nevertheless that material feels great when new.

After that's been said. . . GT3 without a doubt! .
