The Porsche 911 GT3 is frequent flyer at track these days.

The 911 GT3 has seems to have established itself as the aspirational road and track model in the Porsche line up.
Its not hard to see why this car is a track choice for the non-financially challenged driver. The looks of the 997 GT3 are purely stunning reverting to the cleaner legendry shape of earlier 911s that we?ve all grown to love and recognize at a glance.  The deep front valance and an intake at the front of the bonnet give this GT3 an aggressive look.

The GT3 though isn?t a pure track weapon. With a few extra pounds well spent here and there it can quickly become that ultimate track weapon, but Porsche have built that perfect compromise that will perform very tidily on the road and fantastically on the track. Although a visit to the osteopath here and there might be appropriate after driving this machine on bumpy UK road surfaces!

It reaches an awesome 409bhp at a revvy 7,600rpm and will keep on revving to an 8,400rpm redline. Low end torque is helped by the Variocam system with bigger throttle valves, optimised cylinder heads and an exhaust system with reduced back pressure. It produces 299 ft lbs or torque. The gearbox is different to the standard 911 Carrera item with a revised six-speed shift offering ultra-short lever travel and lower ratios on gears two through six. This helps improve acceleration still further.

At 113 bhp per litre Porsche really do seemed to have squeezed a lot from this 3.6l 911.

I love these, going back to the 70's primary colours just makes the GT3s stand out so much
Oh for a GT3 RS in viper green...

Plus one for me mate!  MAybe we could have a forum car.  We all chip in and buy a GT3 RS and take it in turns at the track

Sounds good, it would only be 20k each between the 5 of us

14 members here now, that brings contributions down into four figures! You can keep it in my garage if you like. Makes sense really, centrally located so good for Silverstone, Donny, Oulton etc.

Nice try Tripe.  10 out of 10 for the suggestion though
