Automobile Magazine - 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 Track Experience

Merc1

As journalists, we're accustomed to hearing well thought out, carefully planned marketing spin from expertly trained PR professionals. And we're usually very good at ignoring it. We smile at the nice PR rep, grab the keys, and formulate our own opinion.

Porsche reps don't give us lines of BS, though - their company is one of precious few that sell their cars based on engineering merit, not marketing slogans. So when Porsche product reps speak, we listen. And when they say that the GT3 is the closest thing to a race car you can get for the street, they ain't kidding.

We all know that the 911 is the quintessential sports car. You've heard us say it over and over again. It's an everyday supercar. It's rewarding, capable, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Well, I've just driven the 911 GT3 on the track, and to hell with everyday cars. To hell with supercars. In fact, to hell with my own personal 911. By comparison, the GT3 makes it (and just about every other car on the planet) feel like a softly sprung Buick Roadmaster.

I've driven open-wheel cars with less communicative steering. I've driven race cars whose engine sounded only a fraction as testosterone-laden as a GT3's. But I have never, ever driven a car that likes to dance like the GT3.

It so is. I spoke to a Porsche sales manager last year and he said that a test drives almost in every case leads to a sale(if the customer can afford a car). After handing over the keys to the customer for a test drive there is no turning back, they get hooked!!
the GT3 is truly magical. It was won or been at the top of the list of every comparisons I have read and there isn't a single journalist who have said anything negative about it. It may be the best proper sports car in the world.
