Walter Röhrl, GT4, 2 up giving rides: 2:02.5
Chris Harris 991 GT3, same tires: 2:02.02

Different day, etc, but two things are clear. A) There isn't that much in it, and B) Walter Röhrl is still the man...

I understand that..... but consider that he is also shifting gears with a manual handicap...... and a passenger in tow

Yep this car rocks in the right hands................

The real question is:
What would WR do in the GT3 without the handicap he was in in the GT4. That would be the tell tell IMHO.

Great find!!

Also liking what I'm hearing from these reviews:

*exciting racy bits to keep you excited on road like whiny transmission and less sound deadening
*tolerable suspension on road
*gear ratios seem to be appreciated.. Can still lug the car despite long gearing
*fast steering rack
*autoblip is both fun and functional depending on road/track intent.

-makes me question the buckets for a split second... But can't imagine ordering this car without them

True,

But Walter said that at the "RING" he would prefer a GT3 because it has more power for this fast track.............

.......but on other tracks he said would prefer the GT4 because of it's superior handling.

Don't get me wrong......if I could only have one it would be a GT3.

.......But then again it doesn't come with a manual which I love.......hmmmmmmmmmmm.....LOL
