I haven't read the article yet as I had a friend text me this last night. Going to have to check it out in the newstands soon!

 

I wonder why the 996 gt3 is there and the 997 gt3 isn't.

Driver aids perhaps?

Don't know on that one. The 997 GT3 RS did come in #11 on the list.

 

If you dont know that... Then you may be on the wrong forum.

Why not be a bud and enlighten Seth and myself to the inner sanctum of the 996gt3?

Maybe even let me test drive your car? ...anyone???

 

If u want the inner sanctum of the 6gt3 he'll let u drive but then he has to kill u : ). Price of admission if u don't get one : ). Regards mike

 

Years ago I had a guy ask me the same thing while I was at a Ferrari event. I plopped him in the passenger seat & had him do a short video.

He bought a speed yellow 996 GT3 shortly thereafter (still has it).

If you were anywhere near close to me you could have the same treat. No charge.

 

MB, the video looks to be at Autobahn CC, south course. Can I take you up on the offer?

Do you know much about the local cars for sale?

Thanks,
Mike

 

I had a student at Road America earlier this week with a 997 GT3 RS. I have to tell you, that engine pulls strong all the way to 8k and sounds fantastic. It is an amazing automobile. It had PCCBs. even with performance street tires, it was AMAZING. I did not drive it, and my student was not so aggressive, so I don't know what it did at the limit. My 996 GT3 felt great as well. It is a good GT3 track. But higher hp cars left me in the dust...mostly massaged turbos and a track 'vette.
All in all a great 2 days with the Badger Chapter ACNA.

 

Yup, I will be there Friday.

 

This is a great result for the GT3, the list of the top 100 cars was a mouth-watering array of classic and modern cars. Mclaren F1 (71st!) Ferrari Enzo (58th)Porsche 964 RS (37th) 911 2.7 RS (28th) Ford GT (14th) Ferrari F40 (12th)
The summary was of the article "Many would have tipped the GT3 to win, but Stuttgard will have to settle for 3rd this time. I have to confess that I love the 996 GT3 so much that I've spent long evenings thinking about spending what I was saving for a house deposit on a swoopy spoilered wonder instead"

 

Guys on this forum have been saying for years about the 6gt3. Its no-nannies one of a kind.

 

Hand held (as in passenger's hand) on the track = black flag

 

Excellence compares the 997.1 GT3 to 996.2 GT3 and prefers the the 996 overall.
