I'm not the only who thinks it's overrated, especailly in relative comparison to other 911's in the lineup wrt street driving .The vehicle marketplace makes that abundantly clear, where it's easier to find a clean GT3 than a C4S/GTS. When you have a car so capable, so composed, unless it's screaming above 6k or going triple digits, I personally find that "uninvolving" and somewhat "boring". 99% of the time I couldn't get out of second gear on public roads, which I found frustrating and "boring". 6k RPMS, sorry not sorry, but it is. I'll take the 2-3-4th gearing in the GT3 PDKs in a heartbeat over the GT4 or the .1 GTS PDK both of which I had before, street or track! I find it mind boggling that the word 'snore fest' is being associated with the GT3. The GT3 is a bliss to drive on the streets unless you literally can't go over 20mph. To me, I find even 1-2-3 shifting in the 6spd exhilarating.
To add cherry on the cake, my commute to work is 17 miles and 23 minutes one way according to google maps with 14 highway miles. Not going in to triple digit speeds, I make it to work in 16 minutes. I find myself very fortunate to be able to hear that flat 6 rev to 6-7k everyday. Short of having 4 seats, I can't point out anything that this car needs to be a perfect daily driver. The handling and comfort for being a GT car is phenomenal. I am revving it to only 7k because it is still in the break-in period. I am revving it to only 7k for now because it is still in the break-in period but 9k shifts aren't far enough. Getting ready to go GT3 on Wednesday- can't wait.

The handling and comfort for being a GT car is phenomenal. The one thing that amazed me when I drove one was the ability for it to be a DD. I wasn't expecting that at all. So compliant yet you feel everything. The new norm for this generation of owners seem to be vastly about PTS, CXX, ADM. Adding the discount in the mix now. Says the man who picked the best PTS color. For the money this is as good as it gets? Try a ZR1, 50k less and gt2rs performance.
1/4 mile. Thats head to head to a car like senna whose sales tax costs more than ZR1. Even stock its about 10mph faster 1/4 mile vs a GT3/RS. Yes those cars are much closer in a track because of the cheater R tires but in a day to day driving it, you cant touch it. I hardly think GT3 聯for the money聰 is the best car. You contradict yourself but whatever. The ZR1 does nothing for me even if you put 150K into it. 5K more I am running low 9's. The GT3 is slow relatively speaking but enjoyable to drive and to me there is nothing else in its price range that interests me. I am revving it to only 7k for now because it is still in the break-in period but 9k shifts aren't far enough.
