Default New 991 GT3 at Porsche Parade

If anyone is attending the National PCA Parade this week in Traverse City, Porsche flew in a GT3 for everyone to see at the Concours banquet. It will be on display for the rest of the event.
Interesting car, lots of significant aero changes...couldnt really make out the "look" of the engine due to a new skid plate underneath but seemed to have exhaust similar to previous RS. Huge brakes and wheels, proportionally seems to make the 997 look miniature by comparison.
Nice to see one in person.

Sorry, its been a busy day. Thanks 911SC for posting the link to pics, hard to manage that on my phone. Yes, it had sport buckets that looked similar to my RS, but not exactly the same. Pretty obvious this is a Euro spec car tho...
Everything will be finished by this Saturday and packed up, need to be a registered participant anyway to get into Hospitality where the car is located.
Still surprised by the size of the car, seems "big" to me dimensionally. I was here with the Carrera Cup USA that won the Performance Group Trophy in the Concours, makes the 964 look like a tinker toy.

This is going to be very interesting. If it has the Turbo body work, think it will fit on a trailex 8045???? Looks wider........

Doesn't have turbo bodywork.. It's intermediate width.. Turbo will be wider (pics already online for you to compare the two). RS on the other hand should have the turbo bodywork
