Everyone should drive on of these!

Well, I have been driving my 2006 M3 now for the past two years and decided to buy something a little more sporty. I came across this deal on a 2007 GT3 which I could not pass up. I had a 2006 997 but sold it because it did not feel raw enough for my taste. I felt detached from the road. I tended to gravitate more toward the older 911's because of their raw, visceral feel. Well this time Porsche really got it right! I have driven a lot of very nice cars and I can tell you nothing compares to this car. This is definitely the best driving machine I have had the pleasure to sit behind the wheel. My older 997 had lots of understeer but good power. This car is has neutral handeling, great power and fantastic road feel. For pure driving pleasure I give the M3 a 6/10, 997 Carrera 7.5/10 and the GT3 10/10.
Sorry for the bad photos, the weather has not been great.

Any way to remove some or all of the rear wing? it would make a nice sleeper.

It's hard to top any of the GT3s for fun, and they get better every year

If/When I get a GT3, I will hook up a strobe light near the badge to make sure no one misses it!! Making a sleeper out of a GT3 is like dressing your hot babe in overalls. (that actually might be hot!!!!!)
