Long wait, but worth it!

Driving impressions:

Some people say it is louder than the 991.1 GT3. I can't tell, but maybe it's because that was over a year ago when I last drove one. I already ordered the center-muffler delete pipe and will get it installed next week. I really want it now because after driving the Performante for 4 days, every exhaust sounds so quiet!

Stick is shorter in length and therefore also in throw. Shifts are very precise and mechanical compared to my 991.2 GTS.

Clutch is not as hard as previous manual GT3's. I feel it is similar to my GTS.

Torque is everywhere. I was on the freeway in traffic at times, and the car just pulled from any gear at any rpm. That is quite different from my last GT3.

Bucket seats are beautiful, but I think I will need to buy those links to adjust the tilt to be comfortable. I think a Touring Package with Adaptive Sport Seats would be a nice daily driver.

So light and agile. Nothing like a light rear-engined naturally-aspirated 911 with a stick! I haven't driven it since I got home yesterday, but may go for a drive this evening.





PS: Sorry, I don't known why some of the pics are sideways. They are not sideways on my computer. Admin, can you fix it? Thanks.

Congrats
looking great in white

Thank you. I love the manual. So much more fun for me than my last GT3 which I got rid of in 6 months. I honestly wouldn't have bought another new GT3 if it didn't come in a manual.

Just saw Chris Harris' video on his review. He said he just had a 911R for a few days and this engine is "a lot a lot better"!

Looks great. Love the lighter wheels on White. Which bypass did you order??

Mine was supposed to hit dealer yesterday but they have (3) trucks schedule today and tomorrow and mine is on one of them

Looks great, you spec'd it so well. All business, no fluff.

Further confirmation that I need to stick with darker housing of the PDLS Xenon (vs std). Interior housing ties in well with dark exterior bits (esp when looking at it from front), while the lighter housing trim ties in with reflector & silver wheel.

Did you order reflector from SunCoast? Or?

Jimmy-D

^ Most Dealers have them in stock and agree on the darker PDLS Xenon

Congratulations! Are those Satin Aluminum, or standard wheels?

Very nice, congrats! The GT3 and GTS Cab combo is a win.

My best guess: Satin Aluminum.

Congrats! I'm really jealous. Like many, I'm on the list for a .2, not sure if they'll give me an allocation though. Your car is very, very well spec'd. Congrats again!
