Thumbs up GT3 vs F430 track racing VIDEO

One of the members on my forum posted this, so I thought I share. Both cars are impressive. I like the GT3 for half the price.

repost my comment again. GT3 was damn impressive in the video. i think the full version of the video had a Gallardo as well. if u listen carefully u'll discover how nice the GT3 sounds above 6k rpm.

Doc K,
have u been up there yet?

nevermind..
The Clubsport version was specially developed to enable the drvier of the 911 GT3 to participate in motorsport with the homologation required but without having to elaborately retrofit his car. Features include a roll cage bolted to the body as well as the absence of side airbags. The cage interacts with the spring strut supports on the rear axle in order to stabilise the car, with chassis and suspension forces being fed not only into the body, but also directly into the roll cage. Under tough motorsport conditions this means that forces acting on the rear spring struts cause only minimum deformation of the body. The rear axle geometry, in turn, is not influenced by these forces and ensures much more precise guidance of the rear wheels serving again to improve the driving characteristics of the 911 GT3 Clubsport.

Instead of leather, the bucket seats in the Clubsport version come in flame-resistant cloth upholstery. And apart from the use of red three-point seat belts the Clubsport model is also fitted with a red six-point seat belt on the driver's side not homologated for public roads in Germany as well as a fire extinguisher mounted on a separate support

Very impressive cars. But I thought the F430 would pull a little harder on the straights. Very nice work by the Gt3

That video is from the latest Best Motoring Video. I have it. Pretty nice. They have the Gallardo & Mercedes SL55. The Gallardo gets absolutely worked by the F430. One of the drivers said after driving the F430, the Lamboghini felt like a 4 door family car.

The F430 is hard to beat. It looks great. It drives great. It is a great car.

LOL - At least you got your wife in the car. Mine has been in once and hated it. She won't go again. I didn't even go fast either...
