"No, you're not going to lose money on one of these cars. That's the thing is price of entry is high, but yeah, when you get out of it, you'll you'll be okay."

Performance

4.5/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

And holy it is making a ton more power. Especially when you get right over 5K cuz the mid-range torque is a little lacking.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 12:30

The performance here is nuts.

positive · TheTopher · ▶ 13:47

even in the mid-range around five grand it pulls so much harder than the dot one

Handling

5.0/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

it makes the car feel so razor edged not in a scary way but more in line with just how insane this engine is

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 14:12

getting much more texture through the chassis and through the steering wheel. This feels like a far more connected experience.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 13:49

Steering feel, it's just fantastic.

Fun to drive

5.0/54 of 4 reviewersstrong consensus

My god, this is like the 997.1 turned up the dial by like five.

positive · Jubbal & Cars · ▶ 14:48

one of the most raw, engaging, and visceral driving experiences along with one of the best sounding engines you can buy.

positive · TheTopher · ▶ 0:17

it is the best car i've ever driven hands down

critical · JayEmm on Cars · ▶ 14:03

it's not as harsh as I feel like car reviewers made it out to feel or sound or or be back in the day. This is still a pretty compliant car. It's comfortable.

Value

3.0/54 of 4 reviewerssplit

I don't think it's really worth it that's just me being as objective as possible

critical · Zygrene · ▶ 15:21

on paper this appears to be maybe the most nonsensical of all GT3s... that's got everything to do with the price.

critical · JayEmm on Cars · ▶ 14:47

No, you're not going to lose money on one of these cars. That's the thing is price of entry is high, but yeah, when you get out of it, you'll you'll be okay.
