getting a GT3 is liking getting a box of condoms....
just because you have condoms dosnt mean you are using them. But you obviously like the idea of it.
Same for GT3, you obviously are into it and perhaps someday you may try it on the track.

I disagree. It takes me waaay to long to get around a lap to equate tracking and sex in any meaningful way.

The purpose of this was to show that a configured C2S is pretty much in the same price range as a similar spec GT3...

I had a 996 GT3 prepped for the track and seldom driven on the street. Very rough and raw ride and with the track alignment very darty in ruts and not comfortable at all on rough roads. Plus with the GT3 seats and roll bar you couldn't even think of golf clubs! I changed that car for a 997 GT3 race car solely for the track and bought an 07 TT as a street car. I agonized deciding between a GT3 or the TT for the street but decided on the TT in the end. It's very comfortable on the street and the performance is spectacular although I find the useful RPM range very short after driving the GT3. It also sounded like a leaf blower so I installed a Cargraphic exhaust and now it sounds like a loud leaf blower. I'm not entirely happy with the choice of the TT; comfortable and easier to drive and AWD for inclement weather but I sure miss the GT3 engine, sound and excitement.
