RE: Tell Me I'm Wrong: Porsche 911 996 GT3
Discussion
I've only ever been in one 996 gt3 (the RS) but I do wonder if this is a modern example of Porsche adding more safety margin into the handling than the car when first released.
They were accused of doing this in the 944 turbo, and having owned/driven many of those I can say there is a definite (to my hands) increase in understeer in the later 250 turbo cars than the early 220 cars.
This effect to me makes the later car feel less instinctive to drive than the early car, which felt more fluid/lighter on its feet in corner entry.
I know it's not exactly the question asked but reading the article I couldnt help wondering if something similar happened with the gen2 gt3
