Took a long time for some cars to point your GT3 by. Tell them to check their mirrors next time.

 

I'd have to agree with your assessment!
Seriously though, these track days are not race days. No point to hold up someone who is faster and ruin their session. I had to deal with them all day and would not budge...well, still it was an overall nice day since we practically had no sound limit at 105db except for the race prepped guys who had it louder than 105db and had to install what's known as the Laguna Seca pipes...

 

Which car did you like more?

 

Very different cars, both loads of fun.
Ferrari sounds great and easier to drive. Love the whole thing, so lively, so responsive, hugs every corner, let's you toy around a bit, more forgiving, all things fall in place seamlessly and feel good, except for the steering feel, a little too soft and not as direct as the Porsche.
Porsche is a lot more engaging, a lot more direct and to your face, the engine, transmission, and steering are all so connected and feel "unified", and yes, the steering is perhaps the best in any class of cars. In the Porsche, you cannot make mistakes, you pay for them dearly!
I enjoy the Porsche just a bit more...but that Ferrari sound is so intoxicating...

 

Cool videos...thanks for sharing them!

 

great vids... Really makes me miss my Atom...

 

One of my friends brought his Atom in the GT3 video. He left everyone to dust; that thing is a track monster...
