Steve, PM Larry. I found the 996 GT3 rather easy to drive both at the Glen and Summit Point. I think the last second or two out the car would be a challenge as the power is always there and oversteer is at the doorstep. Great brakes, power, and transition. I also ran passenger in a 997 GT3 and found it much more tame, much easier to drive on the throttle. A driver can make hard inputs and still avoid the not going out of balance. I think the real problem is too much car for the beginning driver to advance on. You could make a habit of being rough on inputs and get away with it in a 997, but that one time when you exceed the electronics "save me now".................. At a DE, is little reward in momentum as you just can run a late apex and heavy throttle. In a race, equal cars, you would really need to get into the apex with alot of speed in order to compete.
