"But here's the rub. It's fast. Very fast. Dare I say too fast. With other cars punching at this level, like the 458 Italia or the McLaren, you can never explore their limits - my driving limits come into play before the car's do and public roads are no place for heroes – but you get a sense of what they can do. You get a glimpse into their performance. They give you a sample and make you say "wow". But I never felt this in the GT3. It's stupendous for sure and it impresses every time you're in it, but for me, it's at such a more purposeful level, I never got to dip into that moment where the car shows you exactly why it's so biblically special. That's what tracks are for, right? We race spec Miatas at CCC and drive things like Ariel atoms on track. Going into turn on New Jersey Motorsports Park's Thunderbolt, we're probably topping out at 113mph in a Miata. In the GT3, I would be doing that closer to 175mph. I'd be doing so in a road car with no cage, navigation and a three-point seatbelt. Bad things would happen.

I then saw this video featuring Andreas Preuninger, king of the GT3 project at Porsche. He likes to drive his early in the morning, before the roads become crowded. Makes sense. Then you see the roads. He lives in the German countryside with close proximity to the Autobahn. That video makes everything come into focus. Mr. Preuninger made this Porsche for him and his roads. This also means that when you drive a GT3, each outing should be an exploration to find the roads that let you explore the cars true capabilities and find the zing. I didn't find them in Tarrytown or Pleasantville, but they exist, and I think, White Rim, Route 550 or Denali Highway might be some of the US-appropriate stretches."
