1.5mm to 9mm of engine movement. wow

Amazing to get that much power out of it.

I love the GT3, it's easily one of my favourite cars, I'd kill to own one, especially in Carrara White.

great find!! thanks for sharing

Words cannot explain how much I want a GT3. Just when you think it has reached its limit, it just gets better and better. A true driving machine!

With that weight distribution, it would be extremely difficult to drive well.

Is this a serious remark?

He might be thinking of front engine cars? This is a special case, not many RWD, rear engine cars out there, with all of that weight right over the drive wheels.

No, but I've driven other things with 60+% in the back and it is absurdly easy to completely spin out at turns, especially if the car has some power. It is basic physics, the heavier part of the car wants to go forward.

I know, but Porsche solves this with monstrous tire stagger. The GT3 in question has 235F 305R tires. That takes care of the issue pretty well, and causes for some pretty silly grip. I've been in a 997S on a wet race track, and every shift would just grip and slam me back into my seat. There was no slipping despite the weather conditions. I know for a fact that in that kind of weather, the G would slip the 1-2 heavily and the 2-3 to a lesser degree, and the 997S has a good 80-90hp on me (this one had boltons and a tune) so that really says something about the level of grip on the P cars.
