Bro you need to go drive the GT4. I think it'll change ur mind. I tracked the GT4, GT3 and 3RS. 3RS is miles better than a GT3, grips like crazy and GT3 was actually harder to control. A lot of understeer then oversteer. GT4 since its mid engined is super balanced and goes like a go kart. I liked the driving sensation of the GT4 more than GT3 but I would take a 3RS over both. But I would go back to a GT4 if I had to choose between the Gt3 and 4. Can't wait for the 991.2 GT3s tho. Should be awesome

Maybe I'll grab one as a track car when the prices plummet soon! I tracked my 981 GTS and 997 GT3 and liked each, but neither was perfect. I've only autocrossed a 991 GT3 and was impressed. Can't afford one at the moment, but hopefully one day when I get tired of the C63!

Is that where you tested them? For me I've owned these cars, but would love to be able to track test first! Much better from a financial standpoint. Haha!

As a side note, I recently had a C7 Z06 as well. Talk about grip! Not sure if there's any road legal car that can attain that level of traction, and power. So much fun!

Porsche GT3 RS / C63S sedan
I put a ton of track miles on my GT4. It's underpowered relative to what the chassis COULD handle. I have never felt that way with the GT3 or RS. That said, if they do make a GT4 RS, I will trade my GT3 RS for it. The chassis is amazing. GT3 RS is a monster barely suitable for public roads especially if you have impulse control problems

Not to ruffle any feathers here, but comparing a C63 to a GT4 is like comparing apples to oranges. They are totally and completely different beautiful works of automotive engineering. Comp it to an M3/4, S5, Alpha Giulia, or American V8 muscle and I get it... Just my 2 cents

It's the one right off the 15? When you enter Vegas coming from Socal. It was a short track you can def push hard if you're experienced since it's not a very technical track at all and there is a long straightaway that you can sort of push it. Fun track but mainly there to experience the variety of supercars back to back to get a good comparison of them all. I was impressed by the 458, miles better than even the GT3 and Huracan
