Porsche 911 GT3 2007

I sold my Ferrari F430 and it was quickly replaced with a 997 GT3 on the basis that it is, according to the experts at least, one of the best driver’s cars in the world. It had a lot live up to. So after several hundred miles, how does it fare? Well, the steering is sublime, there is enough power for you to enjoy most of it on a public road, and the build quality is excellent. At rest it may not wake the dead like a Ferrari but floor the accelerator in a tunnel and as you reach 8000 revs the sound is fantastic - a more guttural and a less contrived sound than a Ferrari. Pure race car. This is a car that has been bred for the race track. There is not an ounce of slack in it. It may not have the presence of a Ferrari but it is car that you can enjoy both on the road and the race track without fear of it falling apart. I have a few minor niggles in that the gearing is too long particularly in 3rd gear (I understand that is is shortened on the RS), the clutch is too heavy and the Sport button lets the exhaust below but also loosens the traction control (I would like sound and security!), and you have to be wary of the semi-slicks in the cold/wet. But overall it is a very good race-bred car that you could use every day in relative comfort and for this reason it must be one of Porsche’s finest achievements. 9/10.
