Jason has the car in Edmonton, and this statement is genuinely ridiculous. There are so many amazing roads to drive around Vancouver, and I'd say its one of the best places if not the best place in Canada to own a nice car. Weather is nice enough to drive it 10 months a year. The ridge, pacific raceways, and ORP are all doable in 2 day road trips. Sea to sky is fun even at reasonable speeds, Duffy lake loop, Cypress, seymour, and I could go on. Not to mention the roads aren't beat to shit.
This x10000
Duffy lake loop is arguably one of the best roads. Period.
(Take lougheed highway out to Hope, then head up the canyon to Cache Creek, then down through lilloet, pemberton, whistler and back to van. Should be 7 hours of driving time.)
Although i don't think ORP is 2 day-able... Long drive down, would not want to drive 7+ hours after i got up at 5:00am and had a track day haha.
Dhari, it is like this, BMW M3s make you feel like you can drive like Hans Stuck, the car is very well balanced and covers up any mistakes you make (over cooking a corner or getting on the gas too quickly out of a turn). The 996 GT3 only has ABS as a safety net. What I am saying is that my skills as a driver are not refined or developed enough to extract maximum performance from the car. Nothing to do with it being physically demanded, but with how I could extract performance from the car. The 996 GT3 is like playing golf with bladed irons, if you know what you are doing, they work great, if you don't, they work like crap.

Yes, the problem is they're over-enforced with draconian laws and cluttered with people who can barely sleep and breathe at the same time let alone drive. If he's in Edmonton he should definitely be heading south with it, I just saw his location as North Van. Vancouver's a great place to have a restored classic or antique collector, not to unleash the capabilities of a modern supercar purely because of the over-enforcement.
Serious questions. What do you mean by that exactly? Do you mean that you were not able to push the car to its limits because a)too physically demanding? b) You did not want to push the car to the edge?
I've never driven on a track before so I don't really know how it is to drive. Just wondering what it means when people say that their cars are better than their driving. I know some of it is physical(literally tough to steer and follow the racing line) and some of it is mental(scared to push it).
It comes down to talent, few people have the experience and skill to push something like a GT3 anywhere near it's limits without crashing it, because that cars limits are a lot higher than say a Civic.

^ that too, when you push a Civic past it's limits, you're likely just facing a bit of understeer that's easy to come back from. If you push a GT3 past the limits, the back can easily become the front, all at a much higher speed than the Civic.

Its the same everywhere in North america, if you are pushing the limits of a GT3 or any other street legal race car on public roads, you are going to be arrested or kill yourself/others.

Couple things; He lives in Alberta with the GT3, not the lower mainland.
Other thing, if i'm picking up what you're putting down (driving "spiritedly" through the US is better than Canada) Avoid Washington state. From personal experience, they will arrest you at the slightest sniff of enjoying some of their beautiful roads.
dude... you got arrested for speeding? WTF happened?
Ive never driven a super car before, but i can relate that its more fun pushing a less powerful car than babying the drive of a supercar.
When i had my 93 mr2, it was an awesome driving experience. Still love the car to this day. Loved being able to open it up and ripping it around.
Then got a 01 AP1. Great driving experience, but no "go cart" feel to it.
Currently in my 07 Sti. Love the car. But way too much power to open up the throttle. 5 seconds WOT in 3rd gear will likely get myself a ticket.
I can only imagine the power in anything with 400+hp
^ I am not track junkie, but that's why I sold my GT3 for an AMV8. Way to easy to get tickets in the GT3. The AMV8 is great car if you want to cruise around at 50-60kms/hr and just enjoy the driving experience. It doesn't hurt hawt chicks in BMWs/Mercs/Audis/RR eye fuk you! lol!

I drive a truck now and honestly haven't missed the car one bit. I cruise close to the speed limit everywhere I go now since going the limit or a little above feels fast enough.
Trucks are the best.
You hazard percept much further, safer by a mile (crash into me with your BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc see who walks out alive).
Lets be real Vancouver is just a poor area to own a supercar unless you plan on showing off like on Robson Street. Too many nuthuggers that buy these ballin cars with no intention to drive like car should be drived.
Own these cars in places with less traffic congestion and highways galore and its like as close to autobahn you will get. It would be different if you live in Texas or Saskatchewan just flat land and miles of open stretch roads and bends.

Lets be real, you don't own a sports car or supercar, and you have not really driven one I am assuming. You are also unaware of the decent roads BC offers it seems like. There are loads of decent roads and drives within an hour and less out of Vancouver. Get out of Richmond often...
That's more something I'd expect to see up here in Kamloops or Kelowna, not down on the coast. Well, not Vancouver or Richmond anyway...
I dunno man, I've seen a couple modern muscle cars douchebagging around Richmond with Ns on the back driven by mainlanders wearing their caps backwards. A few GT500s and Charger SRT8s here and there.

Considering the way he talks, more like Surrey

Calling him an idiot was wrong, but he speaks the truth about being nervous when on the gas!
40 over and your car is on the hook! Even my 184 rwhp E36 barely allows me to floor it for 3-4 seconds beyond 1st gear before the car is in "street racing" territory. In a GT3 you probably have 1-2 seconds of WOT in 2nd gear before you're in license-losing territory.
