Mine does it all the time too. I go from 6th to 2nd mid-bend on the highway and then I smash into the wall. It's just the way 911's are...

Im almost glad i didnt have access to cars like this when i was 18 because i think i would be dead.
When i was 18 i was driving a 150 bhp mazda turbo hatchback car which was fast enough for my skill level at the time.(and beat many more powerful cars on my local twisty roads!)
At a risk of getting flamed i just dont think teenagers and powerful cars is a winning combination.

Umm - the question has been posed twice now. Where can you rent a GT3?

If you have only driven a stick twice then that means you have NO CLUE on how to shift properly or even engaged/disengage the clutch properly.

I smell something and it ain't fuel

Where was all this money when I was 18? I was at Costco the other day and I get out of my car and a kid working there says "Nice Car" and I say thank you. Then he said " Thats my M5 over there" - it was an E60 M5 probably 06/07 but still. He wasn't more than 18/19.

Must be nice these days to put stupid fast cars in inexperienced hands.

Reminds me when I was racing Runabout Jet Skis and kids would get hurt so often because too much power and no experience.

Cool Real World vs GT3 or any Exotic for that matter

In my opinion age doesn't matter. It's how big your wallet or mom/dad's wallet is that does matter. Also depending on who you are (status) or whom your connected to. A GT3 is easily obtainable and replacable given those factors. Not an 18 yo or teen but remember Eddie Griffin wrecking a >$1Million Ferrari Enzo??? Cars come and go...

I'd like to know just who rented a GT3 to a 18yr old. This story has the strong smell of BS all over it. I'm officially throwing the flag!!
