I don't agree with calling people "sissies" just because they owned the car, found it to be too extreme for their tastes, and then sold it. Likewise, the price difference is not justified. This is the type of feedback the OP is looking for, IMO.

Not trying to ignite a debate, but if you're not absolutely sold on a GT3, while not as "exotic", I'd consider a TT Coupe. My opinion is that clutch tension is a bit more livable and gear transitions are a bit smoother.


edit: on tuna's point, I never understood complaints about supercars/race-type cars until I got in the driver's seat of a CGT w/ hard top on. It was both enlightening, and as much as I hate to say it, disappointing. Not interested in having to squeeze myself in and out of something like that all the time.
