It really seems like a track only engine on a street car?? Maybe someone here has test driven a GT3?
I have, my neighbor had a 2012. And yes, it almost seemed torqueless. I had one fairly tender lap driving at Sebring, you had to give it the beans ALL the time. Dont get me wrong its brutally quick in the right hands, but as a daily, Ive often had my reservations.
