Talking Porsche 911 GT3

I was walking home yesterday, past the Woodside building (for anyone who knows Perth) when I see this Black beastly thing nose its way out of the car park alley...at first just the nose...and those massive callipers...surely it isnt a boxter?? The engine roars to life as it lurches forward...i spot what looks like a turbo timer or engine management computer on the dash...Deep bucket racing seats..it rolls forward a little more revealing a rollcage its not a Boxter...its a GT3!!...as i look on trying not to drool- The driver is balances the clutch and throttle, as it Revs to life again...and gets ready to take off from the driveway...Revving again and again...I cant get enough of this...and just when i thought it couldnt get any better *Cough, COUGH* Splutter* ...the poor bastard stalls it!!...i couldnt help but laugh out loud :

Yeah... they also need a bit of revs before they get going... a 7000rpm 280kW 3.6 like that... they haven't got much low end torque at all.

I saw one drive past me once in Lidcombe, black, following a black 911 Turbo. They both went over the same crack in the road, and well... on the 911 Turbo you could see the suspension working to absorb the bump... but the GT3... the suspension didn't move... the whole car just bounced over the bump as if it was a go-kart. They're a pretty insane car.
