In preparation for our first snow I was jockeying cars around last Saturday. It was the first chance I have had to even start my GT3 Cup since getting the new GT3 street car. WOW! what a difference! I knew there was a distinct difference (beyond the sound and suspension harshness issues), but I did'n think it was as much as I felt. I only drove the Cup car around the driveway moving it, but the clutch/flywheel was TOTALLY different than that in the GT3. Also, the brakes feel completely different in the pedal - even though they appear to be identical to the street car variant. Anyway, early next spring I am going to take both cars to Sebring (probably). I will race the Cup and my wife will DE the GT3 - hopefully then I will get a chance to 'really' drive compare the two.
For the record, the cars are 2004 GT3, 2002 GT3 Cup

how does brake feel differ? I believe cup has same brake assembly but different in the ABS and master cylinder. Master cylinder would account for differences in simply driving around the driveway.
I'm thinking a flywheel/gearing mod will be in my cars future (distant future) but I want to play with it the way it is and I'm concerned about warranty implications for the time being...

The brakes are 'mushy' feeling in the GT3 coompared to the Cup. The Cup pedal has a firmness that is very direct feeling - I know that sounds a bit odd but its the best descriptor i can think of.
As for the flywheel/clutch - I agree. I am thinking I want to put a different one in the GT3 too. The Cup one spins up.down much quicker. And, the clutch is much more on/off feeling.
