Agate Grey 991 GT3
#17
brass, I had the dealer installed the Passport 9500CI. It cost 3100.00. Its great so far but the only reason I have it on is because of the Jamer and it's concealed. I have the 9500ix and it does basically the same and its portable. The downside to this installation is that the power switch is buried somewhere so I can't turn it off, I have to mute it instead. The front sensors are on the first picture of the post. You can see it on top of the grill.
all in all, I think its great but is it worth them money? All it has to do is save me once and its all worth it.

When I picked up the car, I thought it was the best color in the world for a GT3. However, in the case of the 991 GT3, all the colors have their own specialness that sets them apart. Its gives each color their own unique identity and I think that's timeless.

Dude. What can I say? Its been a long journey. As you can now understand, once youve actually owned and driven the car you are finally in a position to "get it". The great news is if you love it now you will only like it more as time goes on - at least thats my experience. As soon as you get this car on a fast back road or a track all of a sudden it takes another dimension and then you truly understand what a brilliant all rounder it it. It does the DD thing well too for a GT car. Big congratulations, looks great in Agate and love the stealth radar install. Enjoy!

That's a great colour. Low key (stealth), classy, and not in your face. For me, it was either Amaranth Red or Agate Grey.
In the end I chose Amaranth Red, simply because I wanted some "pop" in my first ever true sports car, and I've had previous cars which were of the black/dark grey variety.

Thanks guys. I remember almost giving up once... twice..10 times...So glad you guys were there.
I must confess. I was pretty good a during the break in and was able to stay within the the guidelines of 4000rpm in first 10 miles. Give or take +/- 5000rpm from 4000 for the next 250 miles. Just think of me as a tester.

Mike, Looks awesome! Your first pict pushed me over the fence on Agate Gray. Locked in my order last week. Same general combo. If Agate is like GT Silver pictures don't do it justice. So happy your are enjoying her. Thanks for sharing all the info! Dave

that would be the only reason i can see to get the passport , for the laser jammer. although i dont know if id have the courage to try it out, since over 50 over is an automatic court appearance where i live, and possibility of losing your license. and besides, what if the pull over anyway and see you have the jammer? since its illegal, would they cease it??
i like the v1 as it seems to actually DETECT photo radar as well as speed traps etc, not just alarm when the gps detects one. the 9500 i had didnt work for photo radar.

So I picked her up at Manhattan motorcars and was going thru the orientation with my sale guys (pics above) I noticed that this car get a lot more attention than I really wanted. Girls gave me the "take me home look" and the guys gave me " Im try very hard not to look. look". Im sure this will go away as newer models come out. My hope of blending in with the rest of the 911's failed. The look of this GT3 is too menacing and even if people don't know its a GT3, People can't help to see that its something special.
