Default DRIVE+ Video with Sharkwerks 4.1L GT3RS

I subscribed to DRIVE+ a few days ago because I believe quality media productions need to be supported.

The first video from them alone, makes the price of entry worth it. Excellent and visceral video starring Matt Farah driving the sharkwerks modified 3.9L 997.1 GT3RS, and the 4.1L 997.2 GT3RS... yes, I have some manual transmission nostalgia at the moment... I'm sure it will pass.

I wonder if Alex and Sharkwerks are looking to do a stroker engine for the 991 GT3?....

enjoy the video

Thanks for noticing fellas and enjoying It's going to be even harder to manipulate the new platform I believe.

The 4.1 is certainly an interesting alternative to spending money to move to a 991 RS. Anyone know what the ballpark on the 4.1 conversion is (from a 3.8 RS)? Certainly nice to keep the 6 speed!

LOL at "quality media production" and "Matt Farrah" used in the same sentence.
Did he need a larger seat fitted to be able to drive it (as he did with the BBi car ?)

The video and SW website say $60k.

Worse than that it's how integrated and co-dependant the other controllers are. Modify one without touching others... Hmm can get nasty. It's going to be a while

I haven't met a gt3 that I didn't like yet so I'm sure the new RS will be the bizness but with 4.0s in the 350 it almost makes our crazy option less useless

Both he and Jay fit perfect perfect in these seats and liked them

Thanks, last I looked on the website (months ago) there was no price, or I have poor eyesight

That's certainly a pretty penny, but if you want the "ultimate" 997 street car I think the buck stops here. I would very seriously consider it if I decided the 991 cars weren't for me - jury is still out on that one.

A 997gt3rs PTS with the 4.1 package like in the video has to be the ultimate gearhead car
