I have 2 911s. This one is what I refer to as a street car that’s fun on track. By that I mean it’s got street tires and 3 point belts. On a curvy mountain road 2nd 3rd and 4th gears are fun to row through. It makes fun noises and moves around enough to n

A colleague got a preowned 2023 GT3 in December (he's now had 2). Two weeks later, I asked him how many times he's redlined it. He said he hadn't yet. I was a bit gobsmacked. Why buy that car and not blast it to its 9K RPM redline? I told him it was like
