Crunching up a car and having no coverage would not be fun. Talk about out of pocket $$$$

You have to keep in mind, is that some guys have no interest or just aren't cut out for track driving.

After my first day on a track I said to myself...what took so long ? Nothing like hitting the straights going a buck 40 or 50 w/o any reprisals from cops. Going fast on the streets or highways is far more dangerous. Tracks are smooth as butter at high speeds...public highways, not so much. You can thank me for this advice later...

Again, different strokes for different strokes. I'm comfortable exploiting less than 100% of my gt3 :-)
I also totally understand those that choose to track the car. This all started because I reject the notion that it's "stupid" to own a gt3 and not track it.

I like the fact that gt3 can be flogged on the track all day DE ( with just pagids and Srf) and can still be driven home doing normal things plus weekend canyon runs. Its spectrum of capabilities is very broad. I think guys who havent tracked must try it once.

Porsche went all out to build you a track weapon. If not get the 50th edition. Personally I'd skip Porsche all together.
If only track, a few options these days. Z28 Corvette if you fit and racecars. CUP, MONO and basically any racecar.

If only street big long list of cars i'd buy over the GT3; AMG, Aston, etc. etc.

Do 30+ track days a year and use it as a daily driver that is cool, sexy and prestigious with warranty there's only one option under 200k; the RS if slanted to advanced DE or GT3 slanted to occasional (beginner / intermediate DE.

The GT3RS might get some competition of the AMG GT S BS and the GT3 from the AMG GT S respectively. In theory used McLaren, Fiats, Vipers but who keeps them running on track?

Scrap out the prestigious part and the Mustang 350 and Camaro Z28, M3 are the alternatives....

However, 98% of GT3 drivers bought one because they love sports cars and want to drive them accordingly. Whether it's track or spirited. We just have a debate if you're gonna use them to potential or not.
