Default GT3 from Down Under

Took delivery on Tuesday last week

Still smiling....what a weapon.
I came from a 997.2 GT3 RS which I was reluctant to sell but this car is on a whole new level.
Some pics...








Had a hit at the drags last night.
I know the GT3 is not a drag car but thought I would go and see what ¼ mile it would run
11.30@124.6mph ....1.80 60 foot….A clean 60 would see an 11.1X



My old RS on the track :-)




Installed GMG centre muffler replacement today

Perfect fit and quite easy to install

...some pics









First track day will be next week...will post some in car video

Congratulations! A stunner of course!
Thanks for posting the pics. The underbelly is a work of art.

Beautiful! Nice 1/4 mile times as well... Your 60' wasn't clean? Was it due to wheel spin? Did you use launch control? Did you have any heat in the tires?

Very nice write up :-)
Look forward to your first track day reports

White with CS package is the fastest of all.

Wow, gorgeous! And I'm so envious of the seats & half cage we cannot get here in the States. Enjoy! Looking forward to hearing more once you get her on a race track.

Did you take any video of the car going down the 1/4 mile by chance? How many passes did you make?

Wow. Those seats!!! Also, very great results from the strip, both your 60ft and your et/mph are hugely respectable!

Base price is AU$294,100, which includes front lift and cruise control. Options are also ludicrously expensive; as examples (all AUD):
  • Sport buckets: $7790
  • PCM: $7530
  • Sound Package Plus: $1450
  • PDLS: $1350
  • etc.
The seats are expensive but because it enables the $0 Clubsport option, I looked at it as $7790 for the seats, cage, fire extinguisher and driver's harness, which is much more reasonable.

My total was AU$339,238, including $25,700 in options, of which nearly $22k was GST and $54k was "Luxury Car Tax" (a bulls**t 33% tax on cars over the value of $60,316).
Oh and Dealer Delivery is $6k, which puts the US "Destination Charge" to shame
