Matt's point is that you can't fit 4 into the GT3.

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.
