Thanks! Yeah, I think that’s the sparkles in the Jet Black Metallic. 🖤

Loving the engine and the noises. Just getting accustomed to a new way of driving & gear changing, compared to my Carrera T. Am very much enjoying the bonding process.

Absolutely stunning! Jet Black metallic has blue flakes in it and in the sunlight it looks amazing and when cloudy or at night looks like standard black. Enjoy your new car!

Coming from a Jet Black e39 M5, I can fully appreciate your car jet black spec. Black is epic when properly maintained.

If I had found an example in your spec, would've been easy for me to switch my IG handle from jetblackm5 to jetblackGT3

Congratulations!!!

Can describe in more detail the driving dynamics. I’m considering moving from my 992T to 991.2. Both manual.

Interested to hears from others that have made a move from the T to the 3.

Hi,

The noises & greater responsiveness of the n/a engine are two of the great features of the GT3 to me. The howl of the engine is addictive. And every journey brings with just more of that sense of occasion than I got with my 991.2 Carrera T or my 991.1 C2.

I've now done over 1,500 miles in it in the last 4 weeks! Things I'm gradually getting used to are the different feelings of the clutch, accelerator pedal & the lighter weight flywheel - these all require a more careful & delicate approach to gear changes, especially at lower speeds and as the engine warms up. The engine can feel a little 'grumpy' and reluctant to get going smoothly until it fully reaches operating temperatures, but it sure is worth it when you get there! And I haven't yet got close to fully exploiting all the potential that this car has!
