^This yellow GT3 looks great, but I would prefer a black or white one

997 GT3 First Drive - Car and Driver

http://www.caranddriver.com/shortroa...1-gt3-997.html

Porsche says that during development the 911 GT3 997 recorded a 7:47 lap around the benchmark Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit. But engineers say its time with the final setup should drop into the 7:42 to 7:45 range. That’s about ten seconds better than the old car, and also a few seconds quicker than the 997 Turbo. We’re sure Porsche would be pleased if the GT3 matches the Corvette Z06’s 7:42 lap-time, but it’s still a ways off its big-brother Carrera GT’s 7:32 pace.
RC should be happy that they are using the Z as a benchmark

Porsche wouldnt use the Z06 as a benchmark, it would be the other way around if anything. That's just what Car and Driver want you to think.

But it would be interesting to see a head-to-head-comparison

I really dislike the wheels. First time that happened to me on a 911 turbo.
