997TTMeteor, sorry I missed your question when I was responding earlier. On my level concrete garage floor the splitter at the center measures 3 13/16" clearance or about 97mm. I was surprised at how low it was since 911rox measured his 997.2 GT3 at 107mm, so I went back and measured again to double check and took this photo.

Congratulations Mike, beautiful car and much deserved after months of reading your posts here fighting the good fight. If she drives half as good as she looks your all set.

Please tell me you wiped down that ruler and put a felt protective layer between it and your front splitter!

Interesting. 10mm lower than .2 Definitely need the lift. That's pretty darn low compared to 0.2

I never liked Guards red, perhaps because prior pics never did it justice. Not this time, your car is flipping gorgeous!! Looking forward to your thoughts on this car. NICE!

Looks great - welcome to the club. See you've got The break in done then

Best color on the GT3 in my opinion. ...but I'm biased, I had a .2GT3 in GR.
Congrats!

Absolutely gorgeous! Best looking red Porsche I've seen in a while (perhaps ever). Congrats!

Many thanks Mike. Maybe the car I looked at today still had the transport spacers. Strange, it seems like there are varying ride heights amongst the first cars.

A Massive Congrats Mike!
If memory severs me correct you & Macca were the two guys who were waving the 991GT3 flag from the very beginning. The car looks amazing in Guards Red.
You deserve it.

Enjoy in good health & give us plenty of feedback.

Wow. Congrats Mike. Is it true? Did you get the good motor? Sure looks like it. Guards red looks like its moving even in park.
