answer is no. For one, we won't take our GT3 on the track - can't afford to wreck it since its a daily driver, can't afford to buy new tires for it, and it does not have a roll bar, harneses, etc.
Second, I am ALWAYS faster than street GT3's. Yes, some of them in the video we not exactly pushing it, but on most tracks I'm faster than them. Power/weight is much better in Papa than a GT3 anyway. yes, they have more modern suspension, steering, shifting, etc, but it's fun to catch and pass them. (though now that Papa looks like a pure bad-ass race car, its kind of expected that I'm faster!) Third...I MUCH prefer driving a 914 on the track than a 911. I've driven a bunch, but for me they do not instill the confidence that a 914 does. And fourth...when you have a car like Papa Smurf, why would you??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) the only cars faster than me in the group were a 997 Cup car, and the Ferrari. |
