And my memory is that the GT3 isn't even AWD, so that even takes some of the Porsche Charm out of it. It's just a flashier Carrera S.
Fine car, don't get me wrong. I'd drive it (for a bit, before it kills me, as all GT3s invariably due - their reputation as a widowmaker is damn near unrivaled). But in a dream car competition? It can't hang with that crazy 30s SteamPunk thing or a genuine modern world eater like the Valkyrie.

Well I picked the Valkyrie so it wasn’t beating that one.
I dunno man. I just can’t get into the Adams family car. I mean, dads got a 1939 John Deere D. He kept it because grandpa bought it new and restored it in the late 90s, so dad thinks it’s worth more to him than anyone else and bought it back at the sale. I’ve drove that thing and that’s a big ****ing nope for me. Every goddamn classic tractor magazine, calendar whatever a D is in there. Publications from Deere is either a D or an A almost all the time. People think they’re awesome. The difference is I’ve driven one. That probably skews my perspective on that big bastard. All that being said it was close. I was in until I saw it was a 2 seater. I was doing the math in my head about getting chauffeured around in that. But since it’s only a 2 seater that switches back to my experience operating machines from the 30s and I’m out.
Plus you get thinking about the extra time you could get in a Porsche vs the Valkyrie or whatever super car. I could get around town in that thing meanwhile the Super cars are pretty much drive that thing into an enclosed trailer and get it to a place that doesn’t have dips. It moves the needle a bit. I can’t see it going very far but it convinced me in this round.
