He has a modified exhaust.

Do you know what exhaust system he has? And whether he tracks his GT3 with that exhaust without issues?

He's got the Sharkwerks rear muffler bypass as well as the Cargraphic headers and tips. The headers have 200 cell cats. And, he's in Texas where, I've been told, most tracks have no sound limits.

That's correct on the sound limits. Most of our tracks are in remote areas and alot of people go catless.

Great sounding car. But, this is just the sort of reckless driving on public roads that gives all of us Porsche and other high performance car owners a bad name. I wonder how much he would appreciate someone driving so fast down a road in front of his property where his love ones may be driving, walking, riding a bicycle, ect...?

It's really annoying that when someone posts a video like this, you have the whiny people that have to comment on the safety aspects. Someone said; If you can buy a GT3 you can afford to take it to the track. Ummm, in that case why register it? Please, all of you shut up. This guy was on desolate roads and seems to be competent. Yes anything could happen, but anything can happen at any speed. He wasn't weaving in and out of cars and driving like a maniac, it was controlled and smooth. If you have a GT3 there isn't always a track nearby so the whole point of owning this car is to play with it occasionally. Good for him

Y'all act like this is one of those vids from the middle east where two 18yo princes are racing through rush hour traffic in their TT Gallardos. So we buy these crazy handling, crazy fast cars and the only place we can have fun is on a track? 95% of all sports/supercars aren't even considered cars for the track. Sam seemed to be conscious of low visibility corners and hills and really only got on it on flat straights where he could see 15-20 seconds ahead of him. I'm sure none of you have ever exceeded the speed limit or passed some idiot going 40 in a 55 on a double yellow. I see less considerate/more dangerous driving every time I'm on the road than I saw in the vid.

Rep point for being real!!! Thx u.

Didn't see the video, don't need to. I'm in favor of responsibly enjoying our cars even on public streets. That's why we bought them. Just be safe because things can go wrong. Check the Ferrari page to see the 360 Modena crash in Malibu canyon.
