Big caveat, I treat the GT3 and GT3RS as daily driver street car, remember I'm based in Germany. I like having things like a Navigation system and a decent mobile phone interface, because its a tool for travelling long distances at reasonable speeds (luckily reasonable in Germany can mean as fast as the car will go).
There is less understeer, the suspension is more fluid, the engine has a sharper edge to it. The hard suspension setting is overkill for road use and actually slower round the Nürburgring, The brakes felt better than the 997TT set up, which left me looking for more retardation in extremis.
Racing types will like the shorter throw gear change.

I've seldom seen such a close BENCH race!
