Wow, and to think that the GT3 was compared with monster HP cars. Thanks for the article.

Yeah, looks like they love it!

"We tried to talk ourselves out of choosing the 2009 Porsche 911 GT3. Maybe the latest GT3 is too fast, too grippy and too brutal. Maybe Porsche should have built a car with the same power as the previous GT3, only with less weight. But every time you come back from a drive in the GT3, you find yourself smiling and shaking your head. You can't deny the Porsche its victory; it is wonderful. If you want the ultimate road racer, the car that will turn any road into your own personal Nordschleife, then you need a Porsche 911 GT3."

"Damn you, GT3" is all we can grumble after the first corner.

I guess they think its a good car.

This is why I love Porsche. They Build faster and better cars then the competition for half the price. Cheers to the engineers in Germany they have done it again.....

I cannot wait to see and hear one in person.
