I just picked up a 2017 R8 Spyder, absolutely loving it.

Previously had a Cayman GTS (2.5 T4, APR tuned), and a 991.2 C4 GTS. I felt that both the Cayman and 911 offered more of an involved drive when it came to steering feedback and the immediacy of how they responded to changes... but then I rev the V10 out to 8700RPM and I forget about it. That's not to say that the R8 isn't capable, I took out to one of our local tracks the other week and it did absolutely great (brakes were a weak point eventually) but the EPS in the P-cars is next level.

It's a supercar, it gets attention - lots of attention... and I drove a Lava Orange 911. It's also IMMENSELY comfortable, 100% daily drivable. It really lives up to the everyday supercar stigma that it has.

I'd go for the R8 unless you can swing a 991.2 (not .1) GT3.
