    Classic Driver: Porsche 911 GT3 tested

    Quote:
    At the end of the pit lane Röhrl let's the car go and Bang! my helmet hits the head rest as if the Porsche has been struck by a sledgehammer. The engine's no longer growling - it's roaring as Röhrl clicks up and up through the gears. In the time it takes to read this paragraph the GT3 is hitting 200 km/h. In the wet. It's unbelievable.

    there's no doubt about that. I just prefer the sporty GT3 in "sporty" colors, thats all. But don't get me wrong, it'll look good in any color

    All colors are beautiful on this monster, but I personally would go black or white. You know in CA yellow and red Porsches don't do well. The most popular and hight sought after colors are Grey, Silver, Black but I like them all. The only one color that shocked me on a 911 was the teal blue, OMg what were these people thinking?

    It's hard to find a colour that a GT3 doesn't look good in

    That'll be a GT Silver 997 GT3 for me then ...
    Very, Very nice.
    And the vids going around are just making things worse for me... The car is freakin fast, sounds like the Apocalypse, Looks awesome And, well, is a Porsche.
    What else would a person like me want?
