Look at the tail lights. I doubt if that color will make it to the states.

The GT3 accelerates from a standing start to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds

That Porsche GT is gonna cost what? $100,000?

Post by: videoholic on December 20, 2002, 10:27:46 PM: I\'d have to assume more than that too. That\'s a serious car.

Post by: Coredweller on December 20, 2002, 10:29:40 PM: Yeah. :laughing: You could almost spend $100K on a plain old 911 with options. Actually there would be nothing "plain old" about it, but you know what I mean. :D

Post by: kirath on December 21, 2002, 08:11:58 AM: Considering the GT2 is a limited run and very few people can even get the option to buy one, this car will be closer to $250 + Depending on if you can find out and how bad the person who owns it wants to rape you..

ITs going to be a limited run in the US and its going to be very very very exspensive.

Post by: kirath on December 21, 2002, 12:03:04 PM: Sorry - I was not really paying attention. The Gt2 is AWD - Twin Turbo - I forgot the GT3 is NA, no AWD - just a scalled down version, but very powerfull and designed for the track..

He is the info on pricing.

Post by: videoholic on December 22, 2002, 01:13:25 PM: The most striking visual feature of the new GT3 is the unique rear wing, which is largely responsible for the impressive directional stability at high speeds and the increased contact pressure for fast cornering. The experience gained with the GT3 Cup model in motor sport racing was put to good use when fine-tuning the car in the aerodynamic wind tunnel. The rear wing is, of course, adjustable. The front apron was also redesigned. The GT3 thus achieves an outstanding drag coefficient of Cd=0.30 for a car in its class.

Oh, and I found the price. $99,900
