OK, so I wish we'd had more of VBH thrashing it on the track, but my God, the sound of the thing...

Tiff should be doing this instead of Vicki and the review itself felt a bit short.

Vicki is really bothering me lately and the new format of Fifth Gear sucks *****, they spend too much time with their stupid studio chit-chat and trying to be funny. Last season was waaay better, because it was much more focused. If I want humor, I'll watch TG. FG was always good for solid car reviews, though.

she was on the rev limiter in third gear. You can hear the car hit it for a sec.

I agree... Tiff is the best!!

Fifth Gear needs to go back to focusing on driving the cars longer and having reviews that are more detailed!

i know i love Porsches, but either way, out of ANY car being made today, that is easily the BEST sounding exhaust. f430 and gallardo sound sick, but this just takes it up a notch. Porsche really outdid everyone with this car and that exhaust note just screams. nice find!

I'll third that sentiment. Something wrong with watching Vicki do that...all I could think about was how Tiff would throttle that car for 10 minutes.

GT3 is a monster.

Great vid. "Honey, I think I am going to buy a 997 GT3 and keep the 996 GT3 for track & club stuff".
That is going to be a hard sell.
