PS: I have driven the f80 m3 and 991 c2s and 991 turbo S

You can't even utilize 50% of the car before reaching 200 easily on the streets

Marco thinks you can because he "drives outside the confines of the law"...lol!

Bah, noob!
One does not simply just "meet" with Marco. He may or may not be an international playboy with ties to the 1% crowd. Or he may actually be living off his parent's AMEX black . Some say his Porsche was built in 05', but is updated every year to GT3 specs for twice the cost of a new car. He states that this is solely to maintain the butt crease he has created in the driver's seat.

For his volunteer hours, Marco bangs supermodels to break them in for their future athlete husbands.

:fuckyea:

So in other words, Marco really is just a PSA fag?


This Marco is really coming off sounding like Drumhawk from VM. Those of you that know, will know what I mean.

I wish you did use a google search rather than spouting off with ignorant opinions.

1) F80 M3 - you have never driven it but you seem to know about how the M3 rates Vs 911s. Marco thinks personally driving a vehicle and comparing it Vs another is less relevant than relying on some automobile journalist POV
So not only are you wrong here because my opinion happens to match the vast body of professional reviews, you are also a hypocrite since you often comment on cars you have not driven.

I know the M3 ranks below the 911. I know the M3 is not as involving as the 911. I know BMWs now have dead steering and have to pipe in their engine noises vs. Porsche that still engineers a car properly. I know the M4 has a 14 second deficit on the Nurburgring vs. a lower powered 911. The M3 has become a sporty family car like an IS-F, an S4 and C63.

And your opinion is only valid if it matches mine.

Quote:

2) Pushing limit on Street - anyone who thinks they can drive "outside the confines of the law" on the street and learn the potential of a sports car is completly laughable and very ill informed
Thanks for taking my comments out of context, Gomer. I said that you could feel the more sophisticated tune of the chassis in a 911, particularly if you drive outside the confines of the law. You can also enjoy the steering feedback, the balance and the road feel on the street. You do not need a GT3; a base 911 would already have been a large step up in performance for the OP and would be much easier to live with.

Quote:

I care about RS members that have had some personal experiences with the cars we are talking about (Jason turbo opinion on the GT3), not some childish bench racer pulling facts from the internet and stating he knows better....
Relying on anecdotal experience that does not match a body of knowledge is suggestive of a simple, unsophisticated mind. You must be a Liberal Arts or Commerce major.

Let's see what Marco quotes next....lol!!!!
"A novice driver can extract more performance from an M3 than a 911." -Z3Guy

I'm still waiting for a credible reference for that quote. :bullshit:

Btw, what's it like being "that guy"? You know, when everyone at the party is having a good time, then you walk in and everyone just gets real quiet...

Marco, you are so funny when you are stomping your feet! Lol

The worst thing is that I agree with Marco. While the M3 has proven itself to be a worthy track steed, in the end the Porsche was bred for the track. If you can stomach driving a car with it's engine hanging over the back wheels, you have mastered the Matrix.

That said, we come right back to the point of this thread talking about the old mechanical cars without all the nannies that keep the rubber side down. The new cars are driven by computer more than driver. Whether it's the M3 or the new 9991196 or whatever the hell they call the new 911 chassis, both cars are far removed from their roots, and as such the lines are blurred as to which is a sports car, and which is the daily driver.

It's more fun to drive a car at it's limits, and unless you're Jensen Button, you're better off driving something with lower power as it gets to it's limit quicker.

Now let's watch this sick video of a Swiss hillclimb event with old, shitty, fast, awesome cars.


Dragon-88 10-28-2014 10:42 AM

Drove a GT3 at the Exotic Driving Experience in Vegas.. I can definitely say this car is an absolute blast to drive on the track. To keep it tamed on the streets will be hard because all you want to hear it that loud sex tone the car makes.. I tried to whip out the tail on some of the corners, but the car would just grip and eat them like its a go kart.. Absolute blast to drive, but I agree its not a road warrior but more of a track car. I'd still buy one if I could afford it.. Then live in it because I wont be able to afford track days.. LOL

originalhypa 10-28-2014 11:29 AM

GT3 on the street what?!?!

My 20g STi is too much for the streets when the go pedal is touching the floor and the boost hits 20psi. I couldn't imagine it with 500 fewer pounds, and a few more ponies.

The only thing that needs stomping on is your former clown-shoe car.

Who needs a F80 M3 when my civic has full interior with AC and powersteering


Not going to lie back in the day(maybe 5 years ago or so) this guy use to have a CRX with a B18B that raped LOL.

I couldn't even keep up even in a higher horsepower car, not even close in the corners.

Truly the chinese stig.

Porsche 911 991 issues: UPDATE: Porsche and I have reached a solution - YouTube

I found it pretty funny that he bought an M4 right after returning the Porsche

His point of view is the same as jasonturbo basically.

He must be stupid though in marcos eyes to return a 911 for a "family car" lol :troll:

Start at 7:45 and weep, BMW fanbois. He's dumping the family car to move back to a 911.


jasonturbo 10-30-2014 02:33 PM

I have decided what will replace my GT3, srs.



I know what most of you are thinking "Jason, you can't buy that, your financial advisor Marco said you can't afford it...". Don't worry, I'll figure out some way to make it work.

Sometimes I think people can't appreciate the complexity of my first world problems. I'll just have to learn to be a bit more mature on the road I suppose.

boostfever 10-30-2014 02:49 PM

"Why I will not be keeping my 997 GT3, and why a faster and more expensive version of the GT3 is a better car... "


:fuckthatshit:

I like where you're going with this though.

Was your decision influenced in any way by Marco911? :troll:
