ah - ... if I had the means to, I would get an old S2000 or an Exige.. and spend $$$ on track speccing it - upgrading to really good brakes, suspension, exhaust, tires etc... and then race the heck out of it ...

you probably do have the means. my instructor at PR said i could get a fully ready track preped e30 that would turn faster laps than my m3 by quiet a bit, for less than exhaust, bbk and coilovers for said m3.

yep - my problem is more of a logistical / wife one - the M3 for me is a perfect DD and once/twice a month track car... so its perfect .. if I get a dedicated track car - that's one more car I need to maintain, store, upgrade etc.... plus my wife's car.. three cars = a bit too much for me right now.. unless I sell the M3 and get a dedicated track car (hehehe)

yeah im contemplating it as well but we actually have 4 cars now and a motorcycle so more stuff has to go first. for now im hanging in with the m3 as its something i want to keep regardless of what else i do.

Some people just have no grasp on how fast an out of the box GT3 is. The person who mentioned the 24/hr N-Ring time gave a great example..
Here's mine. I clocked a 1:32 lap time as a PASSENGER in a dead stock 997 GT3.1 with Hoosier slicks and CCW wheels w/ a professional driver at Road Atlanta. The car would do 160mph on the back straight. 160... Porsche's turn into even infinitely more incredible machines when you stop them from sliding around every corner entry/exit on proper race tires This might sound familiar to those that saw Chris Harris' GTR vs GT2 review. The car was faster on almost every section of the track but simply could no put the power down with street radials GO LOOK UP THE LAP TIMES OF the Petit Le Mans that happened this weekend @ Road Atlanta.

I agree. I never see them compared anymore. GTRs initial target was the 911 tt. After proving itself, they started using the 911 tts when it arrived in 2010. I think part of the reason they released it was in response to the GTR.

Porsche almost always introduces the turbo S at the end of the cycle, 2005 996 turbo S, etc; before GTRs existed.

Go to a designer shop lay down the gtr's key while asking the price of the handbag see what the sales person's attitude would change as compared to when they see a key of BMW. it's the value mate! If you want a Nissan don't pay 100k, get a PS3!
