"Work on the next generation of Porsche’s road-going track racer, the 911 GT3 - effectively an homologation special for the myriad of 911 racers campaigned in several championships around the world - continues on a fast pace, with the new car expected to debut early next year in Europe.

Based on the latest 997-spec 911, the next GT3 will receive a massaged version of the new generation’s 3.8-liter power plant, expected to reach the 400 horsepower mark - 25 more than the outgoing GT3, and 50 ponies stronger than the newly introduced Carrera S.

According to British magazine Autocar, the transmission will continued to be the current six-speed manual. Performance should handily beat the current GT3’s numbers of 0-62mph in 4.5sec, 0-100mph in 9.4sec and 191mph top speed. "

What car is the one you are smoking? [idea]
Hehe, it's my mate's Holden Commodore. Holden is the GM brand here in OZ.

Our two big sellers here are the Commodore and the Ford Falcon.

They're both awesome cars to do line-lockers in, as you can see by my sig! Lot's of low-end torque and very little rear-end traction! [hihi] Heaps of fun.
