I chose the GT3 over R8 V10 because of road noise and storage space and Audi R-tronic at the time. S-tronic was not yet out? I love the GT3 and it is hard to go for more than a week without getting behind the wheel. It can be driven like a Nanna, or blasting at full noise and each mode is still satisfying.
