I drove a 458 Italia on a race track and a 911 Carrera S with PDK

This sounds fine except I can afford one of these cars in my future ... and I am not looking for some old man automatic

Agreed

Exactly what I was going to say!

Both cars have manual transmissions, make great noises and are the antithesis of silent, over-computerized blandmobiles ... just like the question asked.

996 GT3 RS
427 AC Cobra

One of the first things they taught us in rally school was when (not if) you crash, always be looking for the best place that will cause the least amount of damages to the people inside the car

I still am trying to get the Roomba to work in my WRX ...

Why would this guy park on the outside of a 90 degree corner?

Nice - although I think I could beat his time in my underpowered 2WD rally car ;)

I agree - I have taken the same wet corner at the same speed on different tires ... one set, no drama while the other fighting to stay on the road.

Flaming brakes is a normal occurance in rally racing

Imposter - another "performance" vehicle so narrowly focused that it misses out on what the GT3 used to stand for ... a street car that also works on the track.

You are charging me how much for a picture with a group of 60 year old guys???

Never driven one but was taken around a race track in a Z06 by a professionaDuracell driver

And, in a rally car, the best way to balance the car in a corner ... right foot hard on the gas with the left foot to balance the car

I agree - I do have hope for the turbocharged BRZ though

Best race car to road car to race car ... period!

A friend sold a much nicer German import (> 15 years old to Canada) with half the miles and all else equal for $13k

I agree
