"These cars are not legal for street use in many countries (including Germany). We are talking about real cars - not about garage creations"

You are partly right.

The point was questioning whether the GT3 is a “track car” or not, given the abundance of writing about track use on this forum.

I wrote that the GT3 is a road car (like the 911 predecessors) and that comparing the GT3s of any generation to those British “track-day weapons” helps put the GT3 in perspective and better define why it is on the market.  It helps to make choices.

For those only worried about track performance, then the GT3 is an underperforming and overpriced product for track purposes, and too expensive to run, than the “track-day weapons” from the UK (or elsewhere if they exist).  One can argue that Porsches are underpowered and overprices products in general.

It is for a mix road and track use that the GT3 makes sense.

Please do not say that the British cars I mentioned are not real cars.  It is neither true as a matter of fact nor respectful of the heritage, which, for some brands is older (especially regarding racing) than Porsche’s.

May be that is why they continue making real track cars and are legitimate doing so.

And in case it was on your mind, if you believe that pure sports cars only come from Germany, you are sooo wrong.

Cheers.
