"Differences for USA:
• Passenger seat occupancy detection (advanced airbag: USA, Canada and Mexico)"
Advanced airbag? The "simple" airbag in the foldable bucket seat is not sufficient for US?

Transoil is lifetime on a 997 GT3, but if you dont change it every 6 or so track days it's dead and baked to the inside. If that PDK hold up with people thinking they can get away with normal maint schedule I will be very, very impressed!
That is good to know, but they might have changed that for this PDK-S, especially with track use
Not to compare but I had issues with my VW GTI DSG, in that regards
So it would not surprise me if they have shorter intervals for the GT3 PDK
Might have to log track miles (like for the CL)

Can I borrow yours or one of your friends 991 GT3 for a weekend or 2 or 3 at Sebring? I will pay for track insurance, all consumables and give it an oil and transoil change with a full tank of gas. I only spun once in 10 years and hundreds of track days, but if I ball it up I'll hand you the cash and wait for insurance money. Peter@trakcar.com to work out the details.
If you are that keen then simply sign up for a PSDS event and get a GT3 loaner. There is your test drive. On a track.

GT3 is not one of the cars in the PSDS curriculum, IIRC.

I'll fly in and take it for a week at the Ring. I dont have many laps there so its not as good a test at Sebring and the Ring is easier on the car so I will need it a little longer, say a week or 2. Long laps you know...
I'll throw in a very nice thank you dinner when I bring it back and a couple of thousand for speeding tickets.
No points on you license in Switserland and Germany just pay right?

Yes, 800-Porsche. I would wait until I hear back. The gentleman on the other end was more than willing to hear me complain and promised to work on it and get back to me. I wouldn't want him to get bombarded with calls. If it ends up being a corporate PCNA decision, then I would advise letters, calls, etc.
Thanks

A bit too much coincidence that the only countries in the entire world who have advanced airbags are in North America.

Riiiight, funny. This is a track car?!

I'm almost certain the GT2 sport buckets in my 997.2 have passenger occupancy detection.
