Thumbs up New GT3 on board



Hello to all of you,

first of all thank you so much for the information that you are posting here everyday. I am following you without posting since a long time and I took this opportunity to register to the forum few minutes ago and to share my experience with you.

because of you, I got my first fastest GT3, another white one delivered last Thursday after a long wait... (cat B)

some option details : 4 ways seats, leather interior, red stitching, red chrono, lifting system, PCM, LED & new BBQ engine

almost 700 kms done in a week. It is astonishing...

We live in UAE, Abu Dhabi, french expat.

Thumbs up

Thanks a lot guys,

here are the first impression of this beast after one week.

Just to make it clear, this is my first 4 wheels sports machine (I am lucky) but I have extensive 2 wheels experience

this is my personal feeling.
It deserves any single long minute I waited for it, believe me it is worth it!!

I am still in break in so I am not pushing it too hard and this beast needs some respect.

Pros
Engine and exhaust:
-pretty special especially for the sound above 3,5krpm
-you feel the power of this engine above 5krpm and it looks inexhaustible
-it is always requesting you to revs and revs
Gearbox:
-fast very fast
-smart in automatic mode especially in the city but I prefer the manual mode
-you need to throttle to move on, that is great and completely different from other automatic gearbox
- if you press both paddles at the same time, you are in neutral, that is fun
Chassis & suspension:
-comfortable and much better than expected!
-lifting system is a must as there are humps everywhere here and the car is very low.
Interior:
-Quality of the materials and the finish is excellent
-4ways seats are really easy to setup for the driving position

Cons
parking & traffic:
-it is a nightmare to park
-All the others big SUVs don't see you... but probably they ear you sometime
-everybody is looking at you
engine:
-torque at low revs


Next GT3 configuration:
-PORSCHE, please, put rear camera and park assist, I am ok for 1/2 kilo excess...
-PTS
-additional leather options such as back of front seats and dashboard.


This car is a masterpiece, and it is an antidepressant medecine...it always puts the smile on your face.

I forgot to mention,

I put the paint protection on it and I tinted the windows @30% (maximum legal limit in UAE), some pictures from this morning.

Welcome! And totally agree--parking this thing is a pain at first. I'm sure with more seat time and more miles, it'll be more second nature.

Jimmy, not completely block. Basically, the top of the wing is across the entire back window about half way up. You need side mirrors for better rear visibility. It does take some getting use to but is manageable. I don't know wide as a standard option the right side mirror doesn't tilt down while in reverse. That would help a great deal in parking situations.

I do not think I will let any valet park her then. I always tell them they can take the loaner for a ride if they want to
