Way more so IMO. The only decent GT3 car out there are the factory models like the Porsche GT3.R and 650S GT3. You'd be surprised at how hacked together most race cars actually are.

The owner of Singer is quoted saying each car has over 4,000 hours of labor in them... Not including parts at a LOW auto shop rate(90/hr) thats $360,000.00 not including the carbon body and dampers, $30k electrical harness etc...they aren't getting rich building these cars thats for damn sure.

Audi R8 LMS, Lexus RCF GT3, Mercedes SLS GT3, Aston Martin Vantage GT3, McLaren 650S GT3, Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 , BMW Z4 GT3, Lamborghini Huracan GT3, Ferrari 458 Italia GT3. There are quite a few good examples, many which I have seen in person and are most definitely not hacked together.

There are some days where my only motivation to go to class is a Singer 911 poster hanging in the shop.

Singer 911s are freaking amazing!
At first I had a fascination with old school modded Porsches like Magnus Walker does with his Porsches, but after seeing the Singer Porches I fell in love.

Although, like many of my dreams, that fascination was shattered after seeing the price for an old school 911 base...

Got a really cool new mic setup yesterday and did some testing with some good results. Just continuing to test until I find an audio recording setup that accurately represents what it sounds like to be in the car. And as dumb as this sounds, the best way to do that is mics in the ears! Hahaha, no really..

Have you been using the audio setup on your latest videos? I noticed a sound change in the last one. Sounds good
