All '3s or just select ones?

jesting aside, the 991 GT3 is that good, if it had come out as the RS no one would have batted an eyelid....For me the big point over earlier ones, is not just the rear wheel steer system, its the moving of the engine forward, its now almost a mid engine car, totally transforms the way the car drives.

I was trying to recall a car that I had owned/driven that reminded me of the GT3....Lotus 300Sport

Have you driven a Viper ACS or the CO6(?) ZR1 (not the latest model, last years), how do they compare to the older '3s?

I have had a V10 viper...and the ZR1, with the lotus engine and Box ?

Don't you mean moving the wheels backwards?

the back wheels steering have taken it forward.

Which V10 one as the ACS held some nurburg record?

Not clued up on the ZR1's, all i know is that it was meant to be handy and $120k(?)

Didn't the 100mm extra wheelbase move the rear wheels backwards and necessitate the need for rear wheel steering?

Which year for the Viper?
ive driven the 08-10 Viper SRT10 ACR (but haven't been in the new Viper, is the new ACR out next year?) and have plenty of seat time in Z06 and ZR1 (on C6 body for both, and also C5 for the Z06).

Fioran0, I'd also be interested to what you think of the Z06 - I was surprised at how competent they were in GT racing (approx GT3/4 level) based on the stock street car. (Unlike the Ferraris which always seemed hopeless coming from a street base).

Sorry, meant the ACR and not the ACS. Think the new Viper is out soon(?) or it needs to be as the C7 is clearing up the American home market.

The cars i mean are;
Viper ACR
C6 ZR1

How do they compare to the different eras of '3 (ie 996/7)
