On the track windows up but with the helmet you don't hear much anyway. Running cost is much lower on the Supra and certainly much cheaper to replace should one (god forbid) went into a wall, barricades, fencing or got rolled over etc

Ah yes. I love windows down too. I was meaning the buffeting in the Supra. You can't drive it with the windows down. But fine if track only I guess.

No, a Supra with whatever motor or transmission combination will never touch a GT3 with its 9000rpm 4.0 motor. That thing is glorious up until redline. GT3 owners know they have something very special with that car and the lack of depreciation shows it.

Yes the new GT3 is pretty nice but you couldn't really drive it the shops. That's what I prefer about the CS.

Also I believe it has a 3.0 not a 4.0.

I am pretty sure he is talking about a 911 GT3 with it's 9,000rpm 4.0l NA engine, not the M4 GT3...

Who are you to be so self-confident to come up with the above?

Yep, exactly. It’s a track/weekend toy that would maybe see use 10-12 times a year. In that context it is far from a good deal.

Also impossible to bring it up my driveway since it lacks the front axle lift system.
