What no possibility of backing in the Armco at the ring?

Try driving it with the engine fired up next time. I found this makes a big difference and you don't get quite so much dribble down your front from the Brrrm Brrrm noises.
No Soul!!! Pah... Mind you, Soul is a bit old hat - James Brown is in his seventh decade and is as boring as Terry Wogan.
Roland Rat??? Wasn't he the failed advertising puppet working with some fat comic (?) bloke for a now defunct TV company???

That's rather unfair. I think of the GT3 more as Britney - Nice body but the same old song rehashed time and time again [

I think you are getting muddled between the stupid and annoying sock puppet and Rolland Rat, the star of childrens' TV in the early 80's. Roland had a very succesful career, the sock puppet didn't.

Well that didn't last long.... Well spotted Simon!!
Don't think we ought to compare cars to music after all Yoda.... Especially as the 2 cars here are amongst the best Porsche produced and comparing them with a septegenarian tiddler fiddler and a bunch of whining pre-pubescent yoofs could be a tad offensive to some here of a sensitive nature.
James Brown still rocks!!! Now come on ..... only when one of the end rubbers falls out of his zimmer! Then he rocks all over da place.
Rolandrat. Have you made any other predictable and boring choices in your life??? We would all be interes(yawn)ed. Oh, sorry.

Being one of the few people who have gone from a GT3 Mk1 to a 964RS I would make the following observations/comments:-
GT3 Mk1 Made me feel special every time I drove it, I was proud to own it. It was never soulless but it also never really had that scary factor that a GT2 or 964RS has i.e Am I driving the car or is the car driving me ?
In summation a fantastic modern car, capable of going to the shops in Woking or Geneva no matter where you started out from ! It has fantastic road presence but has been cloned too much by "ordinary" 996's
For me 996 GT3 Mk1 = Rod Argent [slightly rock n roll]
964RS = Led Zeppelin [the epitomy of rock music]

to be fair chaps......having driven both.....you have got to be a little unhinged to want a 964RS in favour of a GT3 all things being equal?
on the basis of "character" for which read unpredictable and dangerous I both love and hate my RS in equal measure and both my 996 and the 997 I disowned were lacking in that certain something which for me "was" porscheness that IMHO the 964 RS and GT3 (in fact the also SCRS, 3.2CS, 993RS) have in spades?...but all that is clearly based on my perception of Porscheness?
Hey Roland....what about a 993RS?
and to Richards point in all these discussions its largely not about the car it IS about the driver? no? AND I'll warrant alot about image? and perception?

to be fair ........... I would rather have a GT3 (money no object) so that I could sell it and buy 2 964RSs!!! One for the track and one to polish.
I looked at both and I think they are both fantastic cars. Deciding factors for me were driver involvement and cost (especially if you do a few track days). I also love the 993 RS and the ..............
