Those are sweet pics. Stupid question...what is like to track the GT? I track my GT3 and will track my RS. Do the GT and GT3 compare performance wise on the track.

I realize the GT has more acceleration tracking out , but what about handling and the like?

I've never driven a GT3 (yet), but the Nurburgring times show how they differ:

7:28 --- 166.652 km/h -- Porsche Carrera GT, 612 PS/ 1475 kg, Walther Roehrl,(Autobild 07/04)

7.39 --- 161.575 km/h -- Porsche 997 GT3, 415 PS/1395 kg, *mfr. (quote sport auto 05/06)

Actually, that's a good point. I am much more careful in the GT than I am in the Targa, for example. I go fast, but I'll be the first to let a car pass me versus trying to push it.

But with the RS....
