Duncs, it’s funny cos the flip side is I don’t get to sample other great cars like you, Matty etc do.

Re: New Car
Do you all not get bored after 2+ years? I'd sell the Evora tomorrow if I could be bothered. I still love it, but there's so many cars I'd like to own. Variety is the spice, I can always buy another.Coaster1 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2019 6:46 pmSt8 swap 4 CSL bruh?

Re: New Car
Those are very impressive figures! We've all been brainwashed into viewing the 3.4 as the ginger stepson of the range but 4.6 to 60 and 10s to the ton ain't nothing to sneer at

Re: New Car
People don’t realise how light the early cars are. There’s very little difference in performance between the 3.4 and 3.6 996s below 100mph. In fact, even the 997 3.8S is only a couple of tenths quicker to 60.

Must be. 355 posted the same 0-60 with more bhp per ton (224 v 267).
It also surprised me how much better it looks than the 993 on the side by side shot!

I / we went nuts over Kin's GT3 recording the ton in 9s. Just a second slower for the boggo model!

Re: New Car
Add me to the surprised pile. I always assumed the performance would be a little dissapointing, or at least no quicker than my m3 and having a bigger engine making less power.
However a couple of hundred kg less weight, better traction and a more slippery shape make more difference than I would have expected.

Re: New Car
I can’t imagine ever selling the GT3. Would love to ‘add more to the fleet’, money no object of course.
