Every car manufacturer is seeing drop-off, and guess what, so are other businesses. It is called a lull in the economy and it affects everyone. However, some people are more immune to it and those are the people who buy GT3's and Ferrari's.
I'm not seeing the LED headlights, but I'm definitely seeing the rest of the car

I kind of agree with people not that impressed with the GT3. I have never owned one so my opinion is probably worthless, but that shouldn't stop anyone! 
If you want the track version of a car the ACR is much faster and capable then a GT3 and costs less. If you want a good all around car seems like the turbo or cars of that ilk are better choices. GT3's look pretty cool, but I prefer other marquees. I wouldn't kick it out of bad for eating crackers though.

did you read paragraph two of my 1st post?
"while there will always be someone who can truly afford a supercar by writing a personal check but the days of someone leasing one or getting one through a home equity line are over, for now"
it doesn't matter "if" a GT3 can get 30mpg@65mph in 6th gear because the person buying it won't drive like the little old lady from pasedena.
supercars like the GT3, GT2, F430 upcoming LF-A will once again be reserved for the ultra rich. in the past 8 years i've seen more 911 on the road and a majority of the drivers are not ultra rich or wealthy, they just make good money. these people make over $150k a year and they'll drive to work and back home in a $1500 a month lease payment on 997. trust me these people are also worrying about how much they're paying for gas.
