I saw a guy on 6 speed with a 3.8 x50 gt3 engine blow with 7k miles the other day.. same ole story in the porsche lottery.

I think you're putting to much stock into 0-60 times. Most people do. 0-60 times don't tell the whole story. 0-100 and 1/4 mile times give a more accurate depiction of what a car is capable of. Even better passing test like 50-70 in 3rd gear paint a more accurate picture of what the car has in the midrange. Two cars can have identical 0-60 times yet one can be signifactly faster in other tests due to wheelspin/traction issues, gearing ect during the 0-60 test. Also, the GT3 is only available with a 3.6L from the factory. The 3.8L is only available on the Carrera S models.
