As it is, it's fantastic, but way too fast, sometimes I feel as if a 996 GT3 will be 10x more rewarding, and I am damn fast in this gt around most of the circuits I have been on. BUT, there is nothing like wringing out an NA car especially on a track, passing everyone on the damn track and in your run group unless your red status with other monster cars gets boring quite fast. And for the people who "long" for that, they are noobs.
no "preaching" here, just preferences. i grew up karting so im used to the linear NA powerband, it's a nice challenge to tackle an FI car though as you have to adjust to the dynamics and be quick witted enough to handle it in the corners. what can i say, i love boost.

Agreed, it's preference and different between the two...

I have tons of fun trying to manhandle my car, master my skill in it and to get faster, it's a different type of rewarding feeling in a FI car, well at least my GT2... Still awesome though!

There used to be a time when ///M fans bitched at AMG fans for resorting to 4ced Induction for power instead of raw NA!

The tables have turned i see...
