Considering a GT3

I am considering selling one of my 930s and getting a GT3 or GT2.

A 996 or 997 Turbo is probably better suited to my uses but I want a GT car.

Can I put the back seats from a normal 996 or 997 into a GT3 or GT2? Before you scream sacrilege, hear me out. Is this a direct bolt in?

I have 2 young children and my hope is that the family can all ride in a newer car, something not currently possible with any of my P-Cars... The 77 has a roll bar and no rear seats, the 76 930 has no rear seat belts, the 86 930 just doesn't have enough room behind the drivers seat for a car seat.

Anything can be done but the GT3 is truly a race car with plates. It is the least family-friendly of the modern WP Porsches and might quickly rattle the fillings loose on Calgary roads. May I suggest a 997 C4 or Panamera instead? They are the true GT cars of the modern lineup and both offer pretty stunning performance in the canyons and on the race track.

Here is a converted GT3 for reference. Note the low stock ground clearance.

Thank you. That's exactly what I have in mind.

The ride will be better than my street legal race car (23 and 30 mm torsion bars) and probably not a lot different than my 930s. I guess I better take one for a drive on the street, I have time in a GT3 at the track only.
