The GT3 is a brilliant track car but not the most comfortable on the street. Most GT3 owners trailer their car to events rather than drive. The 370z on the other hand favors street driving and requires a few minor modifications to be a regular track machine.
The thing that always scares me with the Porsche, especially the GT3, is the engine. A guy I track with blew the motor in his GT3 RS last year, fortunately under warranty, but it was an ordeal getting them to find another motor and get it replaced. The motors changed quickly between year models and you need an exact match to get all the electronics to play nice. Nevermind the fact that a new motor costs more than a new Z!
If I fully trusted the engine and had $50K to plunk down on a used car I would take the Porsche in a heartbeat.
