People are entitled to their own opinions and preferences. How and where they choose to share these are matters of intent and etiquette. However, they are not entitled to confabulate about technical specifications or other established factual data to validate their opinions or preferences.
Those are the facts. Confabulate whatever you'd like.

I could care less. My argument wins on the merits. A bunch of individuals who spent 150k on a car that Porsche markets as a GT3 and then vehemently defend it as such based on the brakes, certain aspects of the suspension, the rear bumper, and chassis which all 991's share is almost laughable. This thread begins with numerous individuals commenting on the 991 GTS - a car I don't plan on owning - simply being a parts bin special vs the far superior GT3 (paraphrasing). I simply made a factual statement; "At the end of the day the 991 GT3 is MUCH closer to the 991 GTS than it is to the previous generations of GT3." ...and it devolved from there.

True. Based on the factual data the 991 GT3 shares virtually nothing with the Cup car - in fact the entire powertrain is a completely different design and because of it the values of the 997 have rocketed to the moon. Furthermore, nearly the entire 991 GT3 is made up of parts that are derived from those used in the GTS.
Those are the facts. Confabulate whatever you'd like.

Maybe you should read my original, factual statement again and take it for what it is at face value.

I presented evidence what an expert has determined to be something completely contrary to your statement that this car is a GT3. Fact!

Destacaddo, you're now at the point of repeating yourself multiple times in this thread. Even if you're convinced that you're right and everyone here who disagrees with you is wrong, why are you persisting? Do you just like arguing? Need for attention? Need to feel that you're "right"? Masochism? Honestly, what's your aim?
This is just a car forum where are a bunch of guys get together and have fun shooting the breeze about toys and playing with them. I suggest that you chill out and keep things in perspective.

In other words -- you simply rehashed what I said! Go back and look at the post order! Thanks!

No facts in any of your posts. Just rehashing your Elephant Racing suspension article because you failed to read what I said about the GT3's suspension prior to even posting...

Hell of a way to choose a car, Brian!

Regardless, I am wrong all the time. Unfortunately no one has put out any facts to demonstrate that this time other than the shared rear bumper and brakes between the two cars which doesn't change my original statement but was good info nonetheless.

What I found most interesting at the time I've read Elephant Racing's suspension comparison between the Cup car and the 991GT3 is how the Cup manages to fit 18 inch wheels,yet the 991GT3 has no chance...Mmmm... It can't be the suspension...ER says it's similar. They think it's the more compact PFC calipers. Could be...but it can't only be that. It has to be the suspension too. How do I know this? A member here posted his track setup and the mods he had to do to barely fit 19s on the GT3.
