TD, way to go! You know that's what we all dream of doing. There is one right now on the GT3 forum for $48,000...I have been whining to my wife for the past two days about it. Please tell us how it compares, when you get the chance.

To be honest, I don't know if it is possible for the Honda to suck any more than it already does, but you never know!

OK, I met Tom for coffee this morning.
He took me for a ride in the GT3 and then let me drive it on the trip back to Starbucks. Prior to today I had never ridden in a GT3, let alone driven one. Now I know what all the fuss is about concerning a GT3! WOW! The torque and high revs are AWESOME! Did I already say.... WOW?
Tom has a sweet car! He was very generous in letting me drive the car. Cruising on the highway at 80 MPH in 4th gear at only 5K RPM. Punch it at you are up to 100 in no time! Never even got close to 8,200 red line.
Now to answer Mark's (MFletch) question "Does the Honda suck even more now after your test drive?" Well, let me put it this way. On the way home I "punched" my car to get on the highway and thought that maybe 1) two of the four squirrels that power my car were on a coffee break, or 2) I maybe I had forgotten to release the parking brake. Alas, all four squirrels were, in fact, running as fast as the could, and no, the parking brake was not engaged!
So after driving Tom's GT3, the answer is YES, the Honda sucks even more now! 
Thanks again, Tom, for letting me drive your truly AWESOME car!
