Very tragic. 1000% agree about the slow cars vs. fast cars these days. When I lived out in the OC/LA area I used to love driving my slightly modded '84 Carrera relatively fast on the various Canyon roads out there, including ACH and Ortega (gotta be early on that one). But my 2009 C4S showed me that its limits were so high that I had to really push the speed envelope if I wanted to have anywhere near the fun I'd had in my '84. Movin' on up to my 991 GTS and the game moved well forward again. I realized that I couldn't even remotely safely push that 991 GTS to anywhere near its limits on those canyon roads without putting myself and others in potentially grave danger, which is not what I signed up for, so the formerly fun canyon drives in the '84 started to become sort of boring as I felt like I was just cruising really.

I can't even imagine how much further on the limits of a GT3 would be, but suffice to say I see no benefit to really owning a GT3 any more these days, simply because I'd never really be able to enjoy the incredible capabilities of those beasts out on public roads. It'd have to be on a racetrack.

Now that I'm in Florida, there are no more canyon roads to play on anymore so I'm left to simply just enjoy my Porsches for what they are - well built, beautiful, and nice driving cars (even at cruising speeds).

Maybe I'll get the GTS out to Sebring one of these days.
