I just Recently Purchased a New Porsche GT-3 Cup car for racing, It was a tough choice between a Competition Coupe, Ferrari Challange car and the Porsche GT-3.
Competion Coupe, there wasn't much known about the car because it was new. There was also a wait list that I was not willing to wait for, as far as support not sure about parts.
Ferrari Challenge very expensive to run, I was very close to buying a Challenge Car but found out there was very little support for racing.
Porsche, I have owned many Porsche's mostly Turbos. There is alot of support for these cars, Porsche has it's own Motorsport division in Noth America to support racing (www.porschemotorsport.com). You order your GT-3 direct from Porsche Motortsport then they fly it in on a car pallet. You drive it off the pallet at the airport and into your trailer and away you go. Presently we have the car apart because of an accident at Road America, but not before setting a track record in a GT-3. We also ran 3 seconds faster than a Viper GTS at Road America, we ran a 2.25.9 not bad far the first time out in the car. The Porsche is a joy to drive.
The Comp Coupe is a better looking car with more power, but the Porsche has too much support and easy to work on.
