Default In Case You Care, I Took Delivery Today (Jet Black Metallic GT3)

I know, it's not an RS and hundreds of people have taken delivery and posted it, but I thought I would post pics of my new 991 GT3. I honestly thought I would never buy the car. My 997.2 GT3 RS was great and I was pretty happy with it...until it needed a motor replacement AND all the raving reviews of the new GT3 came out. I only waited 6 months and picked a relatively boring color...but I have to say it is stunning in real life. I've only driven the car 75 miles or so, but it is much, much better than I expected. I don't say this because the car is new to me. I go through a lot of cars. This one is magnificent. The PDK-S is way better than the PDK on my Turbo S. Anyways, I'm not going to repeat all the things people say about the car...

I can post real thoughts when I have real seat time. I drove the car home in the pouring rain today and loved it.

P.S. Every time I start the car I press down with my left foot looking for a clutch. I find this funny because I don't do that with any other car I own. My mind thinks the GT3 is still manual...and honestly, the transmission feels and sounds manual except there are no gears to row through.

Congrats!! That color does look pretty epic.

Why the motor replacement on the RS?

One of my kids (who doesn't really like cars) enjoys this one for some reason.

Cam adjuster failed. Bolts backed out and went through engine.

Congrats. Looks great. Now all you need is a panny and a macan/cayanne to complete your P collection.
By the way, although I have not owned too many high performance cars (m3, 911 turbo, jag RS), I have driven quite a few over the years (991 TT, 997 gt3, ferraris, lambo's, etc) and I think the 991 GT3 is truly a special car.

Absolutely on the wheels. The black wheels on a black car just is too much for me, just not enough contrast.

But really love the red belts and red dial on the clock.

Thanks for posting, fine looking car.

I agree, it feels special.

I'm not a panamera fan due to looks. Macan is cool but way to small for my needs. Cayenne is cool but is also too small for my family and I already have a DD and tow vehicle. I broke away from Porsche briefly, but they always sucker me right back in.

Car looks great! Love the mats! My salesman messed my custom mats up - I specified mine to be just like yours but he did black on black on black. Not awesome for $450. They credited me back for them, but wish I had the ones I ordered, like yours.
Enjoy your car - love the black with those wheels.

How could you! Do you think any one cares!

Haha J/K

This is exactly what we have been blabbering on, just drive the car and you can judge for yourself. Not that I'm saying that person will defiantly like the car, but just give it a go and judge. Beautiful car, big congrats! Enjoy every minute of it.
