I was coming up I-5 from Long Beach today and followed the antics of a yellow GT3 and a Burgundy Carrera S. The Carrera seemed to always get away from the GT3 but I would think the GT would be better at what it does.
Driver ya think? |

GT3 is a 3.8L normally aspirated motor (direct decendant of the GT1 motor)and the chassis is 2 wheel (rear) drive
Carrera S is a 3.6L normally aspirated motor and depending could have been either a all wheel drive (4S) or rear wheel drive (2S). A GT3 is not what I would consider a modified Carrera S. Different motor and gearing along with different suspension components. Also depends on what year Carrera S you are talking about. The 996 version had, IIRC, about 330-340 HP. The 997 version of the Carrera S is 3.8L and 355HP. Are you sure it was a Carrera S and not a Turbo or a GT2? What did the rear wing look like on the Carrera S? If it was bone stock you should be able to discerne which it was. |
