997 GT3 Speculation
Le Chef's post got me thinking that there is an awful lot of refinement in the 997 -- which is good in traffic and on long drives -- but maybe it needs a bit more edge, not necessarily objective performance, just more of the traditional 911 experience. I've never driven an 996 GT3, but I am wondering how the experience stacks up there (i.e., could one live with the suspension on an everyday basis?), as well as what the new GT3 may have to offer. Any chance Porsche will ditch the variable ratio steering on the new GT3 and give it a weightier feel? Maybe Colin Chapman was right, sports car owners don't want their cars to be perfect; they want something to complain about, to tinker with, and to ignite their desire for something else.
I think you could easily drive the GT3 on the street comfortably (I drove one and it felt like a Cadillac compared to my 911). Just need to be careful with driveways and the like with the low spoiler...
