458 vs. GT3
So I went for a sunday morning ride with a bunch of cars, and we decided to do a couple of pulls with a 458. We were neck and neck until 105 mph, and my car started to slightly get an edge before we had to slow down.. Will do again next week for sure.

I was pleasantly surprised with my GT3.

The 991 GT3 is no slouch by any means

I'm not shocked....you're talking about a car developed in 2009 vs 2014.....that's a long time in regards to R&D, regardless the price....

I would still take the 458. Crappy video but it sounded like the 458 was short shifting somewhat

The 1GT3 was developed in 2014?

If we count PAG figuring out how to stop engine fires, then yes.

Didn't realize the GT3 could be driven in a straight line.

Beautiful sounding GT3! Does it have aftermarket exhaust?

GT3 has the sharkwerks exhaust. European version so got the Gt2 seats and rollcage. I have another 6 minute video on a mountain pass, and it is incredible how much earlier I can get the power down.
We tried the highway runs multiple times and the GT3 always had a little edge. I was blown away
Sorry for low quality video though

Love the sound of that GT3... Usually I'd be giving the accolades to the Ferrari in the sound dept, but not this time around!! :-)
