Byebye R3

Well, after only a year of ownership I decided to move on from my R3. The lack of tuning options was the big killer; though most of the other "normal" concerns were a factor. The R3 was a total joy to drive on track, though.

That said, I recently went into full "zero ***** given" mode and traded the R3 in for a more iconic sports car...

something I've wanted since I was old enough to know what a car was...

the best car...

Mine's a 2008 997S

Keep hating...keep trolling...maybe the new RX-7 will be what the 8 should have been!

Hell of on upgrade congrats. Defiantly understand about the lack of modding with the RX8 as well. Also I don't know about this whole best car in the world business......

Very nice, but I think your lack of tuning concern may still be true with the new car as well.

Great upgrade. At least you went with what you want and didnt go with what a bunch of asshats on some Internet forum that don't have a clue what they're talking about suggested.
