Which is a fair criticism, but then again the GT3 is in the end just a performance derivative of a luxury GT, so there are only so many changes you can make to it. Changing the engine location isn't in the budget.

I don't think the 911's engine location is inherently flawed for a street car, or even for a limited track-day special. It presents some disadvantages but those have largely been worked out thanks to clever suspension tuning. It also presents some advantages in terms of traction.

I still want to own one, someday, but it's looking more and more like that will never happen. Sigh. Some dreams die hard.
Seems silly to me not to offer the rear seats as optional for at least the new GT3 touring. I forget how much they weigh but they cannot be that much since they are basically just jump seats.
