Give up a 991 GT3 for a Superformance GT40?

Just trying to get things back on track here..

GT3: Great car and I could drive it all day every day

SPF GT40: That would be one for weekends, cars and coffee and the occasional weekend race run.

A CAV or RCR?: Ya gotta to to to the track!!

A real GT40?: If you have to ask, well.......

It's pretty simple

Forget the real one. You can't afford it and not even then are they out in the wild.

If you want a civilized car that you can take as needed to the grocery store, not every week, but to get some ice cream stay with the GT3. Heck, it probably even has a trunk you can put a suitcase in.

If you want something that will scare the hell of you on turns, rumble your guts when you stomp on it and need both feet on the brakes to stop from full throttle, can't turn on cold pavement unless you're moving, and can't take a suitcase to the hotel, then get the GT40 (replica).

The suggestion of a Daytona Coupe as a slightly more civilized but equally brutal beast is a good one. Take out the spare tire and you can actually put in luggage for a weekend trip.

What is scary about a GT40 in turns? Compared to an FGT the GT40 provides much more direct feedback. I've driven them both plenty.

Bernie and this other gentleman I don't expect a peep out of either you since you're both done.
