Brakes were not as strong as I would like - not sure what fluid is in the car. Soft pedal/felt like the fluid was boiling over.
Well, from experience, the Porsche fluid is rubbish. Get some Castrol SRF React in it - then you'll know for certain its not the fluid at fault!http://www.castrol.com/en_au/australia/products/ca...

2.27 in my E36 M3 ..... Just road legal.
PGT trackday.
Wow...so sounds like the car should have more in it. PGT trackday.
Having said that, how much does your car weigh now? I'm still running stock weight apart from the front seats being Recaro Pole positions which should be lighter than stock.
The difficulty is not all cars are the same - ie std spec vs std spec.
My M3 is on a scale of 1 (std) to 10 (fully stripped and caged) is roughly a 6 I guess.
Mitch911's 996 GT3 is setup very similarly to how my red 996 GT3 was and on a similar scale I would say is an 8 (though a 10 for a GT3 is not all that dissimilar to a 1 for the GT3
)
For me I am some 5 seconds off my Silverstone pace in the M3 vs the 996 GT3. Mitch911 seems to be motoring at a similar pace to me (if not a touch quicker)
However if I had a totally standard 996 GT3 then yes my part modded M3 is about the same pace
Of course, the other determinant is the driver. Someone else could extract more from either car.
I guess like for like the GT3 is quicker, however the GT3 is already fairly track focused and apart from brakes, suspension, and diff, people tend not to do much else to them. Whereas the M3 can on top of the usual stuff be completely stripped, lightened, etc to close the gap a bit more
