Cant blame him,this car need time and patience to appreciate it and get used to the balance.And to be honest i didnt like it when i first got it.even after 2-3weeks of driving i wasnt that impressed and this is from previously driving 911tt,f430,murcielago,gtr. But now im amazed everytime i drive it,it brings a smile to my face everytime.

I should quantify my "comfortable" comment. I don't mean to say that this is a comfortable car, for that I have a Lexus rx450h. When compared to the 2007 GT3, I found a few things to be better for street driving IMO.
1. Normal PASM is more compliant, less of a rough ride
2. A broader torque band on the 3.8 is easier to drive at lower city speeds
3. The clutch seems to feel a bit less stiff (although still nice and firm) - this could have been the 2007 that I drove had an issue.
4. The factory bluetooth is a comfort for me, since I am constantly on the phone during the week

Regarding the clutch stiffness,i sat(didnt not drive it) in an 08 or 07 gt3 with some mode(with rs wing,lip etc,no idea of internal modes) ,car had done abour 25000km.The clutch was almost and im not kidding twice as stiff.it was soo stiff that pressing it 4-5times got me tired.ive heard clutch gets very stiff when it close to end of its life?? so that maybe the couse.
With the flywheel, pressure plate and all the bearings replaced, my clutch pressure was half from what it was before the replacement.
