Default 650S vs GT3

The new Macca finally beats the 991 GT3. By two tenths.

Thanks for the post Paul.
At half the price of the 650S, the GT3 is still the star!

Paul, have you taken yours to Brands or Bedford yet? If so, what were you impressions of the car?

Was great to drive it on the track for the first time but combination of tight and twisty track with few run-offs and me generally being a ***** meant I kept getting overtaken by Caterhams and even a race-prepped MX-5 at one point!

Yes but the 650S was about 8 seconds faster than that lap. They recorded a faster dry lap before they took the video.

Ah. Good point. Price point is the same as a 458 which would have been my choice for that sctrach. They depreciate like a mother.

Pay the extra and get the 458S. Future collectors' item.
