RE: Chris Harris video: the GT3 RS 4.0
Discussion
Very nice car and good video, with some tidy driving, BUT is that extra 200cc of displacement and the sound it delivers worth the additional money over a GT3 RS or indeed the GT3 with the fancy (unpronouncable exhaust) that monkey had before?????
He traded up from a modified GT3 to something fractionally faster but hugely more expensive - the additional cost of a used 430 over what he got for trade in on his GT3.
In my opinion, the GT3 serves the daily and occasional need better than this UNLESS you live on / next to a race track.
Plus, the concern of putting on even approaching "average" mileage must play havoc with buy back / resale value on a car that will (ultimately) become a collectors show piece - unfortunately!
I suppose supercar ownership will never have a logical answer. I like the car, a lot, NA and manual tranny last of a kind, but £40k for +200cc and some aural excitement ?????????
Superb 
I'm not a drift-y person, but with that power on wet roads it looks difficult to do anything else! If you want to see what fun they had filming it, look at the number of tyre marks on the road before the car has gone round.
With a little Photoshopping it could look like an edition of Fast Lane magazine from the 80s (that's a good thing). Which reminds me - if the photographer is reading - what was it filmed on? It looked good enough to be something like an EOS5DII with L glass, which leads me to hope that there might be some ultra high pixel count stills out there.
