Apparently the owner let a friend borrow it. Some friend!!!

Give a guy a fast car and he thinks he's a race car driver. I've never seen so many cars crashed as GT3's...says a lot about many of the GT3 owners. Posers....

What does it say about the owners? What about all the ford crashes, toyota crashes, lexus, dodge,etc? I am not following you but please explain.

The unusually high percentage of these cars being crashed versus other cars speaks volumes. I don't think it needed an explanation. Amateur drivers and posers behind the wheel of these cars is not a good combo...

Here's some more examples of failures...

I think he is saying that the in this particular case...most GT3 owners are not even CLOSE to scraping the upper limits of the car...and many who think they can are quickely proven wrong and ususally in an awefully powerful way...

Description:
This Porsche only had 300 miles on it when the wreck took place at Waterford Hills Raceway. Sad thing was the owner wasn't even driving the car, he loaned it to his buddy.

guess his buddy wrecked it...

Sorry there are no facts to back up your claim. There are less GT3's made and the crashes are relatively low. Funny you say posers because I think alot of the GT3 owners I know track their cars and thus they get better at understanding their car. Your argument is without merit and thus like my statements it is your opinion and we know what opinions are like...lol

Aloha

Byron- You seem to be taking this very personally. Your rack up your GT3 too or something? I love how you state in your first sentence "there are no facts to back up your claim" and then in the following sentence you spew "There are less GT3's made and the crashes are relatively low". Exactly which source are you citing here with that little factoid?

I have seen a seasoned driver put a brand new GT3 into the wall at Sebring. And he was the head instructor! You dont have to be a poser to crash one. Just take it a little too far past its/your limits and you will get the same result. this could have been a good driver who made a mistake, dont jump to conclusions Spidermonkey.....
The 996 GT3 has gotten more people in trouble at the track then the 997 GT3.


Dude you are using wrecked exotics as a refrence? you are kidding right?

Spidermonkey I am sorry if I confused you but just wanted info on your poser statement in your first post.

Spidermonkey when I crash mine I will let you know. I will also pose next to it for you to call me a poser.

P.S. I have not received the car but should have it in the beginning of 08.
