    lacks the noise and passion of the CS but it's a fantastic track car , super quick and easy to throw around , great feel through the steering wheel and lets you know when it's going to under/oversteer unlike the CS that doesn't even apologise once you are facing the wrong way. i love both cars for different reasons.sorry for the poor video quality

    Yeah, i've heard that before, my mates father works at porsche melbourne as the finance co-ordinator, and used to own a couple of GT3s... he took me on a tour of the workshop at porsche melbourne and we saw a new GT2.. he said they are scary to drive.. even when i asked which car was more scary to drive; the Carrera GT, or GT2. He said the GT2 felt more scary, all that power in a rear engined car, which is incredibly light..

    Nice vid, thanks Roger. Now all we need is the GT2 to complete the trio of videos. ;) I really can't wait to see the CS and GT2 next month.... :)

    they let one of the finance guys drive a $1M + Carrera GT?

    just spent the day at warwick with 11 other porsche boys and peter fitzgerald showing us some handy tips. dropped from 1:08.7 to a 1:08.1 so i'm pretty happy. he knows how to throw the car around and he did a 1:08.2 with me in the passanger seat! that's an extra 85kg. i did a 1:08.5 with him in the passenger seat so theres another second for me to improve on

    Well done. He was .5 second faster than me in my car at Calder, of all places! I reckon, since Calder is where I'm best (it's not very hard, they say) that I'd be seconds behind anywhere else :(...so for you to have been so close is a good effort.

    Yeah, he's the main finance guy at porsche melborune, and has been a very good customer to them. He did own a old GT3, sold it, bought a new one which got Michelin to Sponsor for which he got free tires, and at the moment the only porsche he owns is a 2.7 Carrera RS.. And yeh when they brought a red carrera GT to melborune he would most likeley have driven it..

    Ohh and Scud, any chance of posting a high res pic of all your cars?:)

    a few things to point out.
    1: he has only been at the track once before ( i drive there 5 times a year )
    2: he only did 5 laps in my car ( i have done several hundred )

    i'm sure for him with more seat time in my car at this track , the time between us would lengthen

    showing me what my car was capable of in the right hands gave me more confidence to throw her around more . also entering a couple of corners in a different gear giving me more speed . entry lines were slightly adjusted as well

    Scud: Pretty cool!

    Is your GT3 a clubsport, or just road going? Also, do you know if the Clubsport is heavier than the normal GT3 due to the cage?

    Thanks.


    BTW, I enjoyed your vids as well; great to see your cars getting used!
