I got to drive a 996 GT3 at a track yesterday and now I understand why people love them so much.
I'm not a pro or super experienced driver, so I tried to be as slow and smooth as possible when I drove it. My buddy showed me how to drive it correctly, which was just "slow in fast out", but he really emphasized it. But towards the end, when I got a little bit more confident, I picked up the pace. It fucking ROCKETS out of corners like none other. The GT3 I drove only had 400 hp at best (intake/exhaust) but it felt like it had so much more. I could get on the power so much earlier compared to other cars, although my base of reference was a track-modified 07 Mustang GT.
I really want one now. If this is "just" the GT3 with no turbo, I could only imagine what a GT2 can do.
thanks for listening to my blog

Nice man, Porsches are sick.
A used Turbo/gt3 will be my next

although the 996 is the lowest form of porsche, its still a fast car, and you can put more money in mods like IMS with the money you save.
cant cure that GM quality interior though.

they're fucking expensive for a reason
>tfw i'll never own one

I feel like by the time I will make enough money to afford one of these, they'll all be too expensive. The 991 Porsches are selling like hotcakes nowadays. The older GT2 and GT3 models didn't have a crazy demand for them like they do now. It's gonna get to the point where you have to have Ferrari money to have a Porsche.

The average person can get a used Carrera S for 70% off after a couple years
7-8 year old 911's going for 45-50k with 40-50k miles

A GT3 is different. No IMS issues, and 1 of 1000.

I don't think the gt2 is an improvement, you drove the good one. Every journalist I've seen that pours adoration over the gt3 is very negative about the gt2... the word "undrivable" is mentioned

The GT3 already feels like a rocket coming out of the apex. A GT2 with its turbos in boost would feel even more ridiculous.
