I agree about the radio I have sat nav plus sound system. It does not compare to the Bose. So I turn the radio down and open the window and push the sport button, that's my new sub woofer!

 

It's amazing that these cars can actually be daily driven. I'm glad to hear it as I did not want to have a garage queen.

 

I don't know about you, but I think the 3 sounds pretty crappy from the outside; with windows closed, with sport on or off, it sounds terrific to me.

 

Check eBay, there are usually a couple with 30-40k on them.

 

Really different cars.

If you want a car that can handle a lot of hp and do really high speeds and feel stable, the GT is it. It has really long gearing and "feels" slow even with 600whp. While the steering response and brakes are superior to most other domestic cars or sports cars period, it's still not in the ballpark of a GT3. If you are a horsepower junkie, the GT is the way to go.

The GT3 steering response, shift action, and "zoom zoom" fun level is something I haven't found in many other cars. Think of it as a S2000 or Lotus except more power, better engineering, etc. If you are a track junkie and just enjoy driving and wringing every little bit out of your car, the GT3 is the way to go.

A side comment. I live in Dallas, TX which is a pretty modern city but there is still a bit of a good ole boy mentality in places. In the GT, I am treated with like a king by everyone. No one has a negative thing to say. In the 4 months I've had the GT3, I've had people go out of there way to cut me off or flip me off or call me a ******bag, etc. I'm not sure if it's an anti Euro mentality or maybe I look like an *******.

I plan to put 10-12k miles annually on the car and plan to keep until the next generation GT3 (and only if the next generation is offered in a true manual).

 

Thanks for the response it sounds like there is no better car then the GT3 for the fun factor at any speed. Now I need to here from someone that has owned a Gallardo. Seems like a lot of people swear by their fun factor too.

 

I havent owned one but I think the big appeal is that you can make 1000+ hp with ease. All the guys into big hp pretty much go Supra, Viper, GT, or Gallardo.

 

That's what I've been reading, but like you said for the most fun factor while driving, you can't beat the GT3. I wonder if anyone on here has also owned a Gallardo and can chime in.

 

Daily driver here... Traffic gets annoying because the car is just cursing at you for putting it through this lol
