Maybe yes, maybe no.
All I know is that the GTI is infinitely more comfortable and practible for the street!
A vintage 911 is not even in the same ballpark.
I have a 2006 GTI that has been re-flashed to the tune of about 250 hp and nearly 300 ft-lbs of torque.
The car never misses a beat.
Easy to maintain.
I certainly never fear parking it anywhere and walking away for a couple of hours.
And still quite fun to drive.
As quick and capable as a 911 on the track or auto-x course...of course not.
But around town, the GTI to me, whips the 911's butt hands down.
Luckily I didn't have to sell my 911 to purchase my GTI.
So I get the best of both worlds.
All I know is that when I crave comfort and no muss....it's the GTI every time.

What Doug said ^^^^^
We sold our 07 GTI last spring. It was a great car. Best seats and steering wheel of any car I have owned. (14 Porsches and many others)
Fantastic DD, with great mileage. We also flashed ours and it had tons of power everywhere in the RPM band. In 60K miles I replaced a tail light bulb, a fuel pressure switch and brake pads (at about 50K miles).
I only tracked ours in the rain, and it was fun passing all of the GT3s....
I am actually considering converting the Cayman S into a second race car and getting another new GTI as a DD.
Cheers
