Just look at any picture of a 4 seater convertible

I love this one

Honestly I wrote those off because I thought they'd be too expensive. I'll research it.

Hmm, if I were in that market, I'd go GTR, more for a bucket list sorta thing, feels a bit more historical, just something I'd to say I've owned, feel the ownership experience will be more interesting. Also, I just don't like porsche cabrios unless it's a boxster, and even then I'd rather have a cayman.

Haven't driven the P car but I have driven the GTR. it's a f'in beast and surprisingly would make an excellent DD. Similar to the NSX when it was initially released, it drives quite well at sedate speeds. Any time you want to go into felony turf mash the throttle. Turbo to the wheels is instant.

Drive both and decide. 911TT Cabrio is kinda ugly but 911 Turbo's rule. GT-R is very bad-ass, especially on E85. Endless power and grip. I'd take the GT-R, much more fun daily driver, especially if it has a warranty. Just not a fan of vert 911's.

I'm not a big 911 fan in cabrio form, but would probably be more so if I lived in SoCal. In my experience, 911's have a lot more character than the GT-R, although you'll likely give up some performance.
