I dont get this! I read it ALL over this site,but just dont get it.
Why is it so hard to understand that a person would buy and enjoy a GT3 or a GT3RS, and not track it? I get that its a great track car, probably one of the best if not THE best combo street/track cars ever made, but that doesnt mean everyone will track them, or that those who dont track them arent using them "properly".
I have an 11 RS, and have been asked multiple times, "are you going to track it?" or "do you track it"... and my answer is , "Ill probably do a few laps in it to see how/what its is/can do.. but No, I wont track it."
I love racing, Ive done A LOT of it, and Ive driven all kinds of street cars on the track. Some much more capable on the track than others, but ALL street cars are a compromise on the track... and none are as much fun, or as safe as a properly configured race car. I leave the track cars for the track, and the street cars for the street...if you've taken your car over that line, then it SUCKS as a street car, if its still a good street car, then it sucks (relative to a race car) on the track..... I get that some people cant have both, and thats fine, I just dont get the "GT3s belong on the track" nonsense. If that were the case, they wouldn't have carpet or airbags or.... and theyd say CUP on the back!
sorry for the rant, I hope the OP gets $115 for his GT3!!

it's like nightclubbing...
you are young and virile, you like the fast lane, you spend all your money on the latest gear and fashions......you get into clubbing...you start buying the music on vinyl, coz digital is not as raw.....you meet other like-minded individuals who understand your passion and hangout with you till the club closes...then you look for more venues travelling the world to find unconquered dancefloors.........you personally know all the top-name dj's, your life is a fantastic blur, you're LIVING FLATOUT and loving it.....
then you get older, you can't stay out late as you once used to.....your body takes days to recover from alcohol-fuelled revelry. your beautiful, younger friends got the new moves and the latest fashions and can outlast you on the dancefloor....you start getting more responsible, with family and bills.....you want to club, but after another few years of trying, you accept the reality of your own mortality and go out and buy a nice audiophile system and occasionally rock your old records in the comfort of your own home, with your wife and kids, showing them your old dance moves, and they laugh coz they don't believe your stories of how you were once KING OF THE CLUB and used to rock dancefloors worldwide........but you know better, and you, with xo cognac in hand and cohiba in mouth, are finally content.
