It is indeed an engineering feat. 415 hp from a NA 3.6 inline 6, for 115 hp/liter. 0-60 in 4.1. And, it now has such things as power windows and doors. However, its probably still too punishing of a ride for daily use. And that wing is not getting any better looking.

may i go a step further thaN the gts rs? Ruf RGT. My neighbor/best family friend owns the shop in dallas called Ruf Autocentre. Now that is a piece of art. If you type in "Ruf dallas" on youtube, his car is the lime-ish green car. Although, the GT3 still kicks some serious butt.

i've always loved how porsche is able to squeeze SO Much out of their engines! i'd choose GT3 over the turbo....... but that variable geometry turbo make some serious power!
its just too bad that the porsche engines are in the wrong place of the car...

They actually have PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) which can be set to Normal & Sport. From what I heard on Normal setting it is suprisingly livable as an everyday car, much more so than the previous 996 GT3, and with the Sport mode it is still brutally fast on the track. Overall this is one of the most desirable cars (to me) ever made.

That gauge set-up looks all too familiar.
....Sorry, couldn't help it.
I'm going to get one some time in my life. I swear to myself, I am.
EDIT: That gauge set-up comment was a joke. Just to let you guys know.

2007 GT3 dyno on dynojet:

I think we'll be seeing numbers close to that on our renesis by the end of the year. We already see 360 whp on pump gas without pushing it too far.

Yeah, that "flawed designed, engine in the wrong place" has lead them to the most racing victorys of any marque from Le Mans to Dakar. Imagine if they made a car with the engine in the front with 50/50 weight dist. Oh wait, they did. The 928. Where is that perfect design now?
