With the Scud and the TC on the owner was pretty calm, with the gt3 he had to fight with over and understeer.

For me is not a good comparison.

It's unbeliveble that in a straight line, from 0 km/h to 150km/h the gt3 goes as fast as the scud.
This past Sunday I went on a run organized by the local Ferrari dealer here on Long Island (have some friends with F cars) with my GT3, there were 2 Scuderia's among many 430's, 360's and a few 599's. Acceleration wise I walked the 360's, was more or less even with the 430's, the 430's might be slightly faster and the Scuderia's walked me. All in all I was pretty pleased with the results. The Scuderia's sounded amazing.
I was the only Porsche in the group of about 50 cars and I'm sure I surprised quite a few of those guys.

gt3 is much faster than youd think. i was on track with mine and it out accelerated 360 challenge cars and 430 coupes by a substantial margin. doesnt make sense since its heavier and has less hp and i cant shift nearly as fast as they do with paddles. imo porsche under rates the hp.

I agree, I was happily surprised.

Looks like lots of fun, a circuit with plenty of runoff room and a couple drivers trying to find the limits and the wet line.

**** the apexes! Where is the grip?
