I'm a big 911 fan but I don't see how someone looking for a weekend track toy could pass over this car and pick up a GT3 without giving it a hard look and some serious thought.
Buying a Mustang over a GT3 for track use? That's comical. Who wants a 3600lb track car?

Love the look and a lot of M3/4 guys are going to be crying when they see what this car is going to do it those cars at a nice chunk less money.
It's all marketing hype. Did you see the video of the Honda Type R that is as fast as an M3 around the track? All marketing. They don't release specifics on the driver or tires so it keeps everyone guessing and waiting for real tests.
