At the end of the day, the GT3 Is and always has been a street legal race car. Though I am sad to see the manual tranny go, I completely understand why they went PDK.

As everyone has said above, It is a beautiful machine. I miss my old job now

Ive watched every single review of this car , including the lengthy interview with Evo magazine and the lead engineer, and I can tell you these guys have developed probably the best track car in the world. The purity , even with electric steering and rear wheel steering, is unmatched and that beautiful sonorous mechanical scream it makes as it climbs to the 9k redline is truly intoxicating.

I remember rewinding a Best Motoring DVD over and over again to watch a Gallardo and GT3 go head to and to hear the sound of the exhaust note of the GT3 at its redline. The clip was shot with a camera outside the Gallardo so the sound of both engines next to each other at WOT was INSANE !!
