Man, you need to summarize that thread

Congrats on the GT3 RS

Is it me, or do automotive writers become less enamored with cars that just a year or two prior were next-to-perfect on the track?
For example, when the current z06 came out, it was virtually flawless, but now a couple years have passed and suddenly the writers are finding all of these "new" handling deficiencies.
I've noticed this with other cars being retested as well.

I think that this is the Chrome Orange Exige S (former Motor Trend press car) for sale at Norm Baker.

Better watch out though, that one handles funny when you massively over-inflate the tires

I haven't driven one but it does look amazingly smooth and i've been told it feels great. for $30-$40k less than any GT3 it really does sound like a bargain.
