Not to slight the GT3, but I was surprised that when Top Gear tested the
'lectric Tesla, it got around their track as fast as the GT3 (which did
it in moderately moist conditions).  The Tesla was running on tires aimed
at low rolling resistance, not at high lateral Gs. It also outran an Elise.

I'd be happy with any one of those in the garage I don't have.
