... Is that rear steering the same as the 4 wheel steering on the early 90's Honda preludes? The technology in that GT3 is pretty amazing
Not to act like I could remotely afford the thing....Automatic GT3??? Not even a manual option??? Not for me!
Chris Harris review here, he goes on a bit but there's some nice footage.

But I couldn't have said it better. Really bummed out that they would make an alleged track version meant for driving enthusiasts...but only offer some fancy "flappy paddle gear box."I please don't try to imitate Jeremy Clarkson. He is an idiot and just an T.V. entertainer. If you are serious about tracking then the ONLY thing that matters is lap times. If that is the case then a DCT is way way superior. Just go to any Rolex or ALMS race and see what people are driving. They all have "flappy paddle gear boxes".
Now... If all you are looking for a fun car with more "involvement" then a proper 3 pedal car is hard to beat.

BTW.... Chris Harris is a huge GT3 fan and his review is pretty good. It's hard for him to like it due to the DCT BUT even he admits that the car is much much better.

I said "If you are SERIOUS ABOUT TRACKING" which means Laptimes are most important to you. A DE can be just a fun wknd at the track or a getting to know your new at the track wknd. That isn't typically what a GT3 owner is looking for. More than 50% of GT3 owners track their car on a regular basis. They are the core target audience for Porsche Motorsports.
Btw, one odd thing is that a 911 comes with a 7 spd. manual but the GT3 doesn't. That doesn't quite make sense to me.
