Silverstone Yesterday GT3 little update

[derek]

Car looks superb Daz, Im sure most of us would have the GT3 over the csl if we had a choice. What lap times were you doing at Silverstone

A standard 996 GT3?

Would u agree the 997 is a far better car?

The standard 997 GT3 took all the best bits over from the 996 Gt3 RS, so yes the 7 is better, but Terry's is RS spec and beyond.

Yes the 7 is the better car for going fast. But some say its lost a bit of purity compared to the 6. I prefer the 997. And yes its better. But the 6 are still fricking mega.

Depends what you want it for. For hardcore and trackdays then I would say 996 every day. More raw feel and feels more like a race car. But a 997 would be much better on the road and for European driving tours. But give me a 996 at the Ring/Spa any day

[terryb]

I should add that I haven't driven a standard 996 on the track so maybe a slightly unfair comparison in mine

I love the GT3's 996 & 997 just pointing out that some reviews have noted a huge improvement from 6to7 & flagged up some reliability issues with the 6??

+ I was surprised how close in straight line grunt the CSL was to a GT3 when I did Spa

Aren't the power to weight ratios near bang on identical?

Good write up Daz and agree that once you've built up the confidence to take the GT3 by the scruff of the neck and drive it hard, it is very rewarding.

CSL vs GT3..... ?

GT3 is on the cards for next year (Orange). Need to be in a postion where i can keep both as I couldn't part with the CSL :bigcry:

31/8 Step on it & get booked!

Cheers for the comments chaps, it's exactly what I expected and more now I've started to get to grips with it... looking forward to growing with it over the coming months / year or so ... I also feel much more with it as a daily now I've pushed it to its limits on track, so all in all a cracking day out !...

Sounds mint on full chat too :smt055
