The reference for the Nordschleife time is dubious. Motortrend is publishing these gossip references and people believe them (???). Show some decency! Where is a serious reference?

Georg 21/08/07, 20:30:53
were is the problem to belive that? The less powerfull 996 GT3 RS reached the same time.

Anonymous 23/08/07, 00:08:24
Georg: "were is the problem to belive that? The less powerfull 996 GT3 RS reached the same time." That is the problem guys: it is not about believing, this is not a religion :) It is about real, honest, true references!

0-60 should be 4.1 seconds http://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/911-gt3/

I thought the Porsche 911 GT3 had 415 horspower

GTR 23/08/08, 03:00:29
That listed weight is too low. The RS is 3195 so the standard gt3 should be more like 3220-3230. http://www.roadandtrack.com/assets/download/1007_RT911_GT3.pdf

PhantomPorsche 23/08/08, 04:52:52
If you check the stats here on fastestlaps the RS is lighter than the GT3.

GTR 23/08/08, 13:17:04
phantomporsche: i agree, but both weights are about 150 lbs. to light

Why does porche not make a 600-700 horsepower gt3? They have to break it open sooner or later!

Anonymous 05/11/08, 04:02:27
that would be soooo stupid. 415hp is just fine for this car, just wait for the PDK GT3 it will have 450BHP and 335TQ, and porsche will never give the GT3 that much power, if you want that much power in a GT3 get it from a tuner like TechArt or GemBalla or 9FF or SpeedArt, they will be more than happy to offer you a GT3 with that much power...

Georg 05/11/08, 08:31:06
They donīt build 600 or 700hp GT3 versions for a simple reason. The GT3 is the road going version of their GT3 race cars build under FIA GT3 class rules and LeMans rules. This race series set the limits Porsche can do to the GT3.
The 997 GT3 Cup the 997 GT3 CUP S and the 997 GT3 RSR are the reason why the GT3 exist and why the GT3 is like it is.

turbo 06/11/08, 04:21:06
I understand georg but i see all these cars like a lambo(all types) with twin turbos by hennessey or whoever and i am like HOLY SHIT that is awesome. Why do companies like them or porche or bmw not BOOST the BOOST when the put out these cars so the would be SUPER SUPER CARS? Just curious.

Anonymous 07/11/08, 04:24:44
This car should not be slower than a ZO6 as this is supposed to be like on of their track cars. I actually like the thought of putting 600-700 horsepower in this car as the suspension should be made for it.

Anonymous 07/11/08, 04:28:34
600hp??? GT1 have this

GT1>GT2>GT3...its obvious

Racer 07/11/08, 04:31:34
I think its about time porche built another CARRERA GT! Thats what everyones talking about. A real screamer! Cmon porche another carrera gt with maybe a TURBO to go along with that V10. That car would make history!

Anonymous 07/11/08, 06:53:51
dude sometimes suepension,brakes,gearing,lightness can be outweighed by power..

Anonymous 07/11/08, 17:07:09
and nto forgettin the chassis
the stregth of the chassis makes this car so quick

Georg 07/11/08, 17:13:50
@Turbo look at 9ff GT9 there you have a 409km/h fast 996 GT3 more questions?

Anonymous 09/11/08, 03:11:27
