Default Morning drive Manual GT3
Today was the first time to 181mph (290km), i had to slow down for a camel crossing. I guess you can only say that in a gulf country lol. The car felt very stable at those speeds. I also tried power shifting and it felt really good, I hardly lose anytime between shifts. 1-2 and 2-3 shifts triggers traction control intervention so it needs to be off for optimum performance. Sound above 7000 rpm is just out of this world especially in 4th and 5th gears. Glad i had full PPF and Ceramic coating to protect against rock chips.

Anyways here is a small video around the canyons.

Well that's one of the most unusual pix I've seen on Rennlist... Would not want to bump into one of them, fun video!

Those are some seriously quick upshifts!

You are almost as quick as the PDK-S tranny! Well done.

Can someone explain what power shifting is? Is that not lifting off throttle? And if so is that a new feature only on the GT3, or can other porsche manuals do that as well?
And also, amazing car, congrats!

You can power shift all manual cars, some are better than other in taking it. Yes its shifting without lifting the throttle. The GT3 is the best manual transmission i have ever driven and this is coming from a guy with lots of manuals cars.
