Kinja'd!!!

How many cars like the GT3 and GT3 RS that aren’t from Porsche are there? The AMG GT R and the Mustang GT350(R) are the only ones on sale that I can think of. The last gen Z28 comes to mind too but I’m on the fence about the 1LE Camaros.

Bonus points if it’s not a European luxury brand

Golf GTI Clubsport S. Almost as powerful as the R (290PS vs the R’s 300), 2883 pounds and a Nurburgring time of 7:49. It’s a two seater too.

C7 z06

Viper ACR

Z/28

ZL1

GT350R

NISMO GTR

All quicker than this Porsche in most tracks I think.

Others are that one LT McLaren, whatever CSL type of M4 is out, 458 Speciale, that racing trim Huracan

Basically, limited-run hardcore versions of a cheaper base model car. M3/4 Competition Package, Civic Type R, 370Z Nismo, limited non-US versions of Evo and STI. They are all very impractical as designed, but can hang with much more expensive cars on the track.

These exist at many price points, although not all are available in the US.

But the C7 ZO6 heat soaks after 20 minutes lol.

Definitely, a bummer about the current gen not quite being the same philosophy

Yeah, I would add that weight savings is an important factor. Hot rodding isn’t the same philosophy. The C63 AMG is more like a 911 Turbo than a GT3

I would argue that the C7 Z06 and ZL1 are more of the 911 Turbo philosophy than GT3.

Definitely forgot about the M4 GTS and Viper ACR though, good call

God bless that car. I love the idea of a hardcore track ready golf, it’s so ridiculous that it’s awesome

Yeah, it looks awesome! I’m hoping for something other than the LT1 or LT4 though.

I’ve never seen an exige with only two headlights but I’ll admit that I don’t know as much about Lotus as I would like.

Did you see the hood on the mule? It’s supposed to get an ohc from what I read, and the giant good would support that

That’s what I read too! I hope it does but I’m trying not to get my hopes up lol. GM is hit or miss and I say that as a GM fan boy
