I was going to save this for later, but this thread seems like the appropriate time to reveal.

I'll just leave this here:

What are you talking about? Wasn't Mezger's first name Frank?.... or maybe 'farewell'.... I don't know what you were thinking. LOL

Great job Joe! Love the plate!

Yea, big success here and the new 991 platform (in GT3 guise) is pushing me further down the Porsche rabbit hole, RS likely and who knows from there.

The 991 GT3 hasnt failed to date other then the mass engine recall which is now sorted. 10 years from now nobody will remember or care.
Besides, I doubt the 991 GT3 will suffer small issues like the infamous RMS leaks and faulty crankcases of the outgoing Mezger generation.

Altough there is the disappointment of the 991GT3 sharing very little with the 991GT3 cup car this time around It is still a strong performer and faster then the 997.2 GT3.

Time will tell if it is loved or not like the outgoing 997.2GT3.

FWIW, the second engines failures have occurred some with very recent engines replacements all in Europe. AS I posted some time ago, US engines were destroyed. No such statement from Porsche regarding what happen to the original engines in Europe. Maybe that is why they got almost three times the daily compensation as us in the States.

are you referring to me or the OP? It's well known that I have no taste.
