    I remember seeing a Top Gear show on the 360 Challenge Stradale versus the 996 GT3 RS..Even though the GT3RS is heavier and with less power, they share the same timeslip on the track,..and from the vids the Porsche looks more confident round the corners whereas the 360 Challenge Stradale looks nervous..even with the electronic gadgets(traction control..etc). The GT3 RS is the opposite. just Rawwww...I sound bias...maybe Im more of a Porsche fan..
    I can guarantee the Gt3 would be a lot more reliable and cheaper to run than the CS! My boss's GT3 Cup is suprisingly cheap to run. Brake pads for example are dirt cheap in comparison to Evo ones! In two seasons of racing, the car hasn't even done a set of disks!

      Now who actually invented this thing/hold this design patent?Is it Volkswagen or Porsche?

      My cuz told me this was designed by Porsche first and according to him it was first tested/used on the Porsche 956/962 endurance racer.

        Looks horrible. The front bumper and rear wing look like something you'd expect from a dodgy aftermarket mob.

          Not sure but Volkswagen have a share in Porsche now as well as a few technology sharing agreements.

            not in a straight line
            as for the twisty bits, too close for most of us to call

            Can anyone confirm this?
            I can confirm that is BS....

              The seats look the same as the ones you had in your GT3 Q.

                      I think they are the Carrera GT seats.
