This is super impressive given the GTR's performance envelope, advanced traction control, and wide powerband.
Can't wait to see the new RS's capabilities... someone needs to take down the ACR

The GT3 rides much better than a GTR. IMHO, the most under rated element of the new GT3 is the ride.
However, GTR kills the GT3 for city driving. There is plenty of drama at city speeds and its a great cruiser at high speed. More stable than a GT3. The only thing they really need to do is fix the brakes.

I ask because everything I’d read stated that the CCMs worked great on the track, whereas the irons tended to fade after a while. I’ve replaced the OEM fluid with SRF so shouldn’t be ‘boiling’ the fluid when I head to the track in a couple of weeks.

Chris does your car have the iron brakes or the CCMs?

I am 6ft 4 and jumped in the GTR yesterday, Bucket seats a must... No doubt there is not as much feeling of space as in the 911, however It is like being in a cockpit of a fighter jet. A perfect fit high door sides and center console, slightly limited view though very immersive.. I think it gives a whole new theatrical experience to driving sportscar. Its easy to drive as its not difficult to maneuver like a lambo. For me its the perfect package for a Sunday drive to cars and coffee to follow up with a run through the mountains then off to work in the traffic on Monday.
Matte Silver is my choice and i think it looks menacing... Due September.
$18K for ceramic brakes. Don`t think I can justify as no to little track time.

Yep that makes a difference although given the prices you have to pay for cars, I’m wondering if on a percentage basis the upgrade is about the same?
Regardless if you’re just going to street drive the car, the iron brakes are fine. It’s when you start driving it on a track that the standard brakes tend to fade whereas by all accounts the CCMs don’t. So choice then is: invest in the CCMs to avoid the fade, but with the downside of higher cost replaceables, versus getting the standard brakes and hoping that with better pads and brake fluid they suffice or waiting for the aftermarket to offer alternatives.
