What has the best potential as a track car? The GT3 RS or a Cayman w/45k in tuning?

still, it's not the same drivetrain as GTx.

You have a 130k budget and you are wondering if you can build an RS beater, but admittedly don't have deep track experience? How much track time do you have?
What kind of safety gear do you plan on using?
But wait, you want a car that is pretty and comfortable and somewhat street focused?

Here the guy was asking a perfectly contradictory and banal question.
I'm shocked and disgusted!
Just like You to do something like this.

no surprise, i'm sure, that i disagree with you!
i thought his question made for an interesting thread and didnt find it the least bit boring.
although it could have possibly gotten a better response in the gt3 forum.
judging by the number of responses and looks it seems to have been a fairly popular thread.
how is the post contradictory?
not everyone can afford more than one car dedicated for specific purposes.
i'm sure you made the new poster feel welcome though.

How many times have they told you not to let this happen?
Oh, is that your CS in the picture, or one of the many cars you bought and then "cancelled" your order?

i have frequently posted pics of cars in my sig that i like but do not own.
why would this bother you?
i've also used pics of male and female celebs as avatars.
i don't own them either
not that it's really any of your business but the cs is a friends, and not mine.
he just purchased it and i thought the one of a kind rosso dino color looked nice.
you have used the med jab w/ others as well! projecting?
this also isn't the first time you have insinuated that i was a liar.
i'm not herman!
and i don't appreciate the insinuation!

for one thing, my GT3 never blew puffs of smoke at high g loads while my cayman does. the GT3 doen't spin the inside rear tire while cayman does. i only have 5k track miles or there abouts on the cayman so i dont know if these issues will become a prob in the future. if you also consider these factors, the pix gets even muddier.
simplistically speaking, cayman has a more balanced platform by laws of physic, but weather a better track car or not, remains to be seen. for one thing it's not being supported by the factory like GT3's are. if your GT3 broke, you can easily buy cup car parts to replace. not so with cayman.
now if you are asking which car has the theoretical potential as far as chassis design goes (not the actual execution) then i would say cayman is superior. but then this becomes a CGT (a perfectly excuted cayman would be more or less a CGT, ignoring price) vs GT3 question, no?
