I am curious as to who here that has taken delivery of thier 04 GT3 if they have tracked the car yet and if so what are the impressions of it.

 

Oct. 23 at Road Atlanta. Can't wait!

 

Good to hear man, after all this car is designed for the track, dissapointing to see how many people will keep these cars as street use/garage queens.

 

I enjoy doing DEs, 5 or 6 a year, and the GT3 has got to be the ultimate DE car. I bought mine because I think it represents a pinnacle of 911 development, but I've always felt that the best realization of Porsche ownership lies in driving them hard. Not abusing them, but letting them do what they do best.

For many people the financial investment is too steep for them to be comfortable with allowing any avoidable depreciation. I understand that, but maybe it's just another way of saying that they can't afford one.

Owning a high performance car but refusing to let yourself experience that performance is bizarrely self-defeating. Pride of ownership is a real enjoyment, but isn't the primary point the enjoyment of the driving potential? That enjoyment requires experience and practice. Some P-car powners might be happier with a car that doesn't so disturb their sense of fiscal responsibilty that they can't enjoy taking it out for a healthy thrashing every chance they get.

 

My father always used to tell us "Don't drive like you own the road, drive like you own the car" - just another piece of advice I ignore
