Nice, I like the driver's thoughts on the cars:
Driver says; "Overall, I feel the one that was the most well balanced was the Porsche".
The interviewer says; "So that's where it leads to, huh? The Porsche?"
The driver replies; "Yeah, but if you're a hardcore Ferrari fan I'd definitely recommend the F430".

Can I ask you guys a question? Was that GT3 some sort of special model?? The POWER and ACCELERATION on that thing was simply amazing against car with supposedly 100+ HP advantage? I know for certain THAT particular GT3 would blow the doors off a stock TT 911 in the 1/4 mile. Was that GT3 the standard 381BHP motor??? lol..

It was referred to as a Club Sport, not sure what that means in terms of differences, I've heard various theories on different boards. I guess for sure it's lighter, not sure about HP, some say more, others say no change.

"The 911 GT3 Clubsport is the answer to two questions: How could we make a road car with racetrack performance? And how could a true sports car be practical enough for road use? Porsche engineers have taken these apparent contradictions and successfully combined them in the ideal Porsche for all genuine racing enthusiasts.
Equipped with a comprehensive range of safety features for competition use, it is also fully approved for the road. The 911 GT3 Clubsport package features a fully integrated bolt-in roll-over bar which is easily upgraded to a full racing roll cage for circuit use. The bucket seats are finished in flame-retardant fabric. Other on-board features include the preparation for a battery master switch, a red six-point racing harness for the driver’s side and a fire extinguisher with mounting bracket."
No HP increases, weight is probably the same as a standard GT3.

the Club sport coupe was a limited car came with the factory powerkit option. it's part of the car while it can be ordered for any regular 997s. the club sport package on 996 GT3 is only being sold in ROW as a track kinda package. it comes with full roll cage & GT3 seats etc. there's no extra power for the package. just happened their names to be very close to each other.
