since there seemed to be so much interest in seeing more pics, here you go, a few more...
sorry for the night time shots again, but i was trying at least to some extent, to capture the impact that the car really has in person. but its hard...
and sorry for the crappy background, but i didnt feel like looking around for a good location.
oh, and i was able to re confirm that there definitely is "NO" kickdown, in auto mode, PDK sport. regular auto, yes, but not in sport. at least not in mine. if anyone else gets theirs to kickdown in pdk sport, auto, let me know
enjoy.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Your interior shots are spot on.
I was in two minds about the silver or red stitching. I'm now glad I went for the silver stitching. I think it looks just right.
Thank you for posting.....
Em.... I know it's a cheek but any chance of some daytime pics showing the color of the car in natural light? Please.
Tsk, as though you have nothing else to do!
Thank you.

my gt3(gt silver) came on monday so figured id post a few pics of the inside since no one ever seems to post those.
this is my first gt3 and first porsche, so take anything i say with a grain of salt.
a few things i noticed...
*** the red brake calipers are HUGE! and gorgeous. i can only imagine the yellow ones on the cc's.
*** i dont believe i spec'd the headlight washers, and theyre not listed on my spec sheet, but i got them anyway. cool!
*** the sport exhaust seems to not open until about 3400 rpm. even with exhaust button pressed. i would like to make it so it stays on all the time, if possible as it makes it seem a little bit like "fakery" just cutting in/out at 3400 every time..... any problems if i do this?
*** i get some minor rattling seemingly coming from the rear over rough surfaces. im thinking it might be the tail lights? as everything else seems to be solid. sometimes the idling of the engine even seems to cause it!
*** on break-in; at delivery i asked - any specific run in procedure i should follow?
"nope." they said. "its already broken in, just go hard, drive it, launch it, floor it, do whatever you want." ....hmmm
*** for anyone that thinks the lift is necessary; i didnt spec it and at first i was a bit scared especially after how stiff and bumpy i initially found the ride to be(but not at all harsh), but... to my surprise i havent hit once! the car seems to "know" or something, and over terrible roads, pulling into fairly steep parkades, and well, everywhere, the car just doesnt hit. this was quite a pleasant surprise as i was worried that i would be scraping and hitting all the time. now after a few days of driving i dont even slow down coming up to bumps / rough sections of road anymore, i just plow right through them, and the car takes it in stride, literally - brilliant. so if you didnt order the lift, dont sweat it. it isnt necessary. and where i live there are some horrible roads.
*** when in D (auto), with pdk sport, the transmission didnt "kickdown" when i floored it. this was strange as i would have expected when cruising along at 80 mph in 4th or 5th gear it would drop to 3rd or even 2nd when floored. but it did not.??? both amgs and m5's i owned would have. so that surprised me a but. note to self - if ever in a race with an m5 from a roll, be in manual mode, or prepare to lose.
*** the stereo sucks, but who cares?
other than that, as has been said over and over, this car is just unreal. the interior just oozes ultra high quality materials, ie. the brushed aluminum, fit and finish etc. the car from every angle is just beautiful. period. and, the engine sound... under acceleration its... well, i just dont have words for it, sorry. for those who are still waiting to take delivery, youll just have to wait and find out for yourself.

Is your car a 2014 or a 2015?
Enjoy!!
