I find it interesting that a lot of GT3 owners only track their cars and do not drive them on the roads. I drive my GT3 quite often on the road and find it to be very comfortable. Not stiff, very kind to my ageing back and real fun even at legal speeds. It does move around a lot on the roads due I expect to the suspension and tyres, all part of its charm. It is difficult to take into parking lots,service stations etc as it always seems to scrape the skirt and that does not look cool. I really enjoy my car on the track and on the drive to and from the track.

only in America
put a tapedeck on the tractor and let her drive that. When she has that mastered, give her a Smart.

I got my GT3 because it is pure, has no computer nannies, and is as core a Porsche driving experience as you can get. The power and handling didn't hurt either. All it has is LSD and ABS (which I wish it didn't). All the handling and troubleshooting is up to the driver. Its a seat of the pants car. If you make a mistake, you own it, no excuses, you need to find the solution, fast. I remember one automotive writer said the GT3 does not suffer fools gladly. Especially with the right alignment, the car is such a pistol that you have to give it all due respect at all times. I like that. Its simple.

but sometimes the PSM could be helpful (switched on/off), I mean the long wet way to home after tacking day. You tired and you have to struggle next 300 km to home, it's not a pleasure.

I have so much fun driving the GT3 on the track that I keep it at the track because driving on the street is no longer an adrenaline rush. I have another 911 for cruising with the top down...
