Porsche’s 911 GT3 and Ferrari’s Challenge Stradale posted nearly identical results in a suite of handling and performance tests, with the Porsche narrowly beating the Ferrari in the Figure‑Eight.
The GT3 completed a slalom at 71.6 mph, ranking fifth on the test’s all‑time list, and the Porsche recorded 23.9 seconds in the Figure‑Eight versus the Stradale’s 24.2; both cars posted 0.95g on the skidpad.
The Ferrari Challenge Stradale projects a fiercely emotional, track‑focused character with an exceptionally loud OEM exhaust, prominent intake induction and razor‑sharp steering; it rewards smooth braking but is noisy inside and can transmit a hard clack over sharp road imperfections.
Porsche’s 911 GT3 earns praise for excellent road‑holding and steering quickness despite slightly lazier initial turn‑in, while the Stradale’s race‑derived SMG gearbox delivers rapid, rev‑matched shifts and composed behavior.
