You can do all that and you'll never touch a track prepped GT3. The GT3 is a track weapon right out of the box. Start tweaking it a little and it is insane.

I think we M3 guys get flattered at times when we can "kind of" keep up with a GT3 on track but truth is, those instances are probably just with a slower driver. Car for car, equal drivers, we can't really touch 'em.

Grrrr. Thanks for the honest feedback. Drove 2 hours to have the car clear bra wrapped today. Very excited for that. Installer is exceptional, worth the trip. I'm about to drop $20k on this thing to enjoy it on the track a few times / year. My last car was an 08 GT3. Never tracked it, should have I guess.

I may flip out if this thing doesn't perform. It has more than enough HP with test pipes / tune / intake, gotta get the handling right and she'd some weight. I love the DCT and cabin environment.
