I agree with you on the above (cap, wheel, valve stem), especially at shows etc. I'm probably a little neurotic that way, as it bugs me to see a car on display with these off kilter! I even try to line up the screws on my light switch covers at home!! But then again, so does my electrician, so I'm not THAT crazy!

Interestingly, the factory tour guide mentioned that some workers will line up the cap with the valve stem on the wheel for cars on the assembly line too, so I agree that those 3 are not necessarily remarkable.

But all of the items I mentioned, including the brake disc and tire, is a little rarer. If you examine the lettering ("Michelin" on tire and "Porsche" on disc) on both of those, they are identically aligned also. I don't know of anyone who mounts tires that way. Or brake discs. That with the fact the other 3 were the same suggested it was highly unlikely to be a different car. Your point about this being done for shows reinforces that this is the same car, since it would also be a little unusual to have another RS formally displayed elsewhere at this time.

I didn't do the sleuthing work that you undertook. I just went to his instagram feed where he admits it's the Geneva car, photoshopped!

Strange that they have not leaked GT3RS photo in GTSilver..

I had a seal gray metallic Cayman, the seal gray color is darker.

I can not find it now but in one of the After Sales documents for 997 (if I remember correctly) there is a description that says that the Porsche Crest on the wheel cap should have it's point towards the valve steam and that the lock wheel bolt should be opposite of the valve stem.

They are thorough.

On some older Porsches at least there was one wheel stud with red paint on the end, this was for the locking wheel nut which was a slightly different weight to the others.
I was told that the valve on the wheel was then fitted opposite the locking wheel nut stud, then the crest was actually fitted to point to the locking wheel nut, so it could be found easier in the dark.
Makes perfect sense to me, although the consensus now seems to be to have the crest pointing towards the valve.

Guys quick off topic.

how does the Porsche Track Precision works ?? I saw a video that shows real video of your driving with pedals, speed and etc. Is there a camera inside the car that transmit the video to iphone or ???

Thanks

The consensus is that the apps sucks. No direct exporting of video and you cant overlay performance criteria on the video. The aftermarket solutions are much better.

Tryptomine

But where is the camera located ? Inside the car?
Or you must mount an iphone and record from it ?

fxz

Camera On the iphone or android phone
GPS you need additional one because phone or even worse
the GT3 one! it s not accurate!!!
1600Euro for rubbish
worth 100$ or less for free and let me currently just wondering
does P think Customer are so idiots???
its a rope! They re exagerating
they re not even close to F488 performance
but an mid optionals RS cost like a 488
some manager in P is gettingcrazy or VW want to push R8
killing Porsche??
An R8 610HP V10 Carbon alu chassis
is either much better than RS
Really disappointed

Tryptomine

What are the aftermarket solutions ?

http://www.aim-sportline.com/eng/pro...solo/index.htm is a pretty good setup.

I have an AiM MXL2 in my track car, which is a good call if you really want to go nuts. I'm not 100% sure it works with the 991 GT3, but wouldn't see why not.

Got my lava orange touch up paint sample. Let me emphatically say that there isn't a hint of salmon in it. Deep rich orange. No PTS for me

MoeGt3

The Salmon was what was really scaring me!! Glad to here that is not the case, and thanks for letting us know

bronson7

Do they make the UV touch up paint yet?
