997 GT3 Spy Pics
Check out the spy pics for the 997 GT3. This just looks awesome in my opinion. Now, if only I can make the budget work.

Yes, quite nice! But what's a Z06? About half that?

The Z06 is a cloned Viper in a "Unique" Chevy design. =o)

Sorry, guys. I'm know it will out perform anything likely to sit in my garage, but it looks too busy to me. Almost ricey with the overabundance of scoops in front. The rear wing also doesn't have that classic simple but functional look. I"m sure it functions properly, but looks a bit over-the-top to my eyes.

I´d have to agree with Dantilla. As always, seeing it in the metal, might however change that.

I think its appropriate for the times and is way better than my 77 911s. The style is very agressive the lines flow together well.

A Z06 will rattle it's way down the track vs. the tank structure of the GT3.

Get out the dead stick. Subjectively the GT3 will be a much more satisfying drive. Z06 ticks the performance boxes, the Porsche ticks the satisfaction inputs.

The front end is way too busy...what's with that grill-within-a-grill-within-a-grill ??
Same for the back...over-styled... Porsche lost the "form follows function" mantra that was its character in the past. Plusses?..the way the rear tire/wheel fills the rear wheel well in the front quarter view shown. - Wil

Looks like even Porsche has followed the modern sculpted, trapezoidal school of thought. At least it doesn't look outdated (?)
