Default Track day car

I would think that for pure track use there are even better choices than the Porsche but that really is not the question; it is not "what is the best track day car?" but rather "do I want the 1960's experience?"
I was under the impression that it would be a combination car, if track day only there are dozens of better choices than a GT3. Radical SR8 would be a great choice for a very fast two seater 6min 58 seconds at Nuremberg ring. The general opinion seems to be that the 991 GT3 is a posh comfortable car, believe me it is not. It rides rougher than my Cobra on race tires, it scrapes on any driveway with a modest slope, it is barely legal for exhaust noise and the multidisk clutch clanks and clunks at idle like a race car. Again no argument from me if you want the 60's experience but if not, GT3 is the better choice.
