Good Luck with your new toy
1. Engine and exhaust sound, most important part for a DD to me, I am bored with the sound of TTS
2. Transmission, GT3 feels like automated manual transmission, it's raw, gives you race car feeling. On 991 turbo s, it's more comfortable.
3. Rear wheel drive, the esp system of GT3 is easier to kick in, turbo is safer
4. GT3 looks better, much better. I can sit in front of my GT3 for a hour just looking at it, the turbo only looks nice in few degrees

To reiterate, the front axle lift was only designed to clear speed bumps, ramps, driveways. When you drive above about 25 mph it lowers automatically. While activated, the nose is lifted 1.2". The dampeners feel much stiffer and uncomfortable while it is activated. It could never be used to drive around at any meaningful speed on a bumpy road; it is a temporary clearance device to be used only while moving a few mph, at most. I had it on my 7.2 and it proved its worth enough to order on the 1.1GT3.

Mine doesn't drop automatically until I'm doing about 35-40.

Nice car!
Does sports exhaust come standard with the 991 gt3 or is it an option? I would think it's an option because it adds weight and a lot of people wouldn't want that on a gt3..

All black is the way to go
even so, I prefer the clear tail light lenses - first thought the look fugly but now I actually like them better than the red ones - they are more "special"
Enjoy the car!!!

I make my wife crazy on the weekends when I sneak out early in the morning for some car related function. She says both kids wake up every time I leave.

Congrats! Enjoy the beast! Nice to see a black one! Your "old" Turbo S is a beauty too!

Funny. My neighbors will love me in the morning, and mine will be delivered with Sharkwerks.
