    Re: exactly which car does he drive

    I wish they offered the GT3 with a backseat, optional NC delete, they would sell a hell of a lot more cars. The S just isn't enough.
    Saw a nice white GT3 driving into the city yesterday, damn I wanted one! But I also had my two kids in the back of my C4S, something I could never do with a 3, TT for me!
    The reality for me is a lot of errands etc,on the weekend where you need a back seat. A weekend only car is a pipe dream for me.

    Re: exactly which car does he drive

    It was raining in NY today. Cold and nasty, but no snow or ice. Without AWD, how is that GT3 handling today ? Not great and certainly not as well as the TT. The TT handles adverse conditions AT SPEED (although NOT full metal jacket speeds). If you live in the Northeast or conditions similar to ours, plus you have kids who like to catch a pleasant back seat ride there really is no substitute.....TT. If I lived in LA, Miami, Monaco, Dubai, etc. where you don't get heavy snow every winter, I would possibly think differently (although I doubt it as I like being able to shuttle my 3 daughters around - leave the wife home). Maybe if I tracked the car I would think differently (alas, there are no road racing tracks on LI, NY anymore).

    C4S,

    Where do you plan on tracking your car ? I know Limerock isn't too close. Too bad theres nothing around us anymore. I never did Bridgehampton with a car (I tried it once with a dirt bike approx. 25-30 years ago).

    Re: exactly which car does he drive

    LRP is about 1.5 hrs from LI at 5am, Pocono even less. I prefer Watkin's Glen, but the 4+hrs blows. They are building two pvt tracks, one in NJ and another in Monticello(Westchester Co). To me it's worth the trip to go to WG once or twice a year, it's a real track.
