Is the GT3/991 GT3 a "true" Supercar??

To all the hardcore track guys. I have spend some time on CA tracks and I don't recall ever seeing an Enzo, Lambo, Pagani or Enyron whipping around the track with other cars. The only time I have seen Ferrari's was primarily at Ferrari track events and never have I seen an Enzo or some of the other "super cars".
I would be interested in what other have seen. Super cars are not tracked.

Wouldn't say the Gt3 series is a supercar but it sure is one hell of a fun car on track. The carrera gt is a supercar but gotta say much love for those Porsche racecars back then including the cupcars- they are "super über cars". Rather drive those on track than a carrera gt or similar if I had to pick one side by side on track ie I take the latest cupcar or even the 6cup over the carrera gt/enzo/lambo/Bugatti veyron/pagonda but that's me.

Still love my "old" 996GT3.

This what I think about current cars:
Hypercars: P1, 918, LaFerrari, Huayra, Veyron
Supercars: 458/F12, Huracan/Aventador, 12C/650S, SLS AMG
I would not consider any 911 or R8 variant to be a supercar or hypercar.

I like to think of it as MY supercar for sure. Naturally aspired engine, loud (not enough), large wing and very capable. CD clocked it at 3s flat from 0-60. That's pretty darn good. Besides this is as much as I can afford. I hate to compare it to the Ferraries and Lambos because they're in a different league.

i like everything about the 458, the sound, the engine response, the drama, the looks, the ferrari saga....but i am ready to go more hardcore. the 458 successor will be turbo charged, about 670HP and very fast with a lot of midrange torque. so for me it looks like GT3(RS) or speciale next. i have a deposit down for the RS with a guaranteed delivery slot (the allocation has last week reappeared on my dealer's system for january 2015, delivery march or april) but the RS might be a little bit too hardcore for me....
need to see the specs first.

Congratulations, Peter! I'm not really in the loop, but that would be very interesting news, that RS allocations are now showing up. Thanks for that tidbit!

IMHO a supercar must be outrageous.
Such a car shifts boundaries & requires four superior elements relative to other autos of its time:
- exclusivity
- performance
- design uniqueness
- compromise in usability
As phenomenal a sports car as it is, the GT3 does not check all the supercar boxes.

Interestingly this came up today amongst bored banter with some friends today. One referred to the GT3 as a supercar and I looked at him quizzically. I never did consider it one. Whatever it is I’m happy with it! Just glad we weren’t talking about value! Lol
