Thanks for posting...Nice roads you have there.

Perhaps relocating the mic further away from the exhaust would give a more natural sound ??

Will await your track videos..

 

HOLY **** that was fabulous! Man does the car scream at 9K. WOW!

Sam, thanks for the time it took to share with us who have yet to get our cars for the 7 minutes of phenomenal enjoyment.

 

Hide the Women and Children!!!

Sam - you are the Poster child for why Porsche made sure these replaced engines were going to be perfect. I am not speaking too soon here but Porsche; "has delivered". I have never heard a road car scream like that. May I dare say - "EPIC"

 

If any one was on the fence they just fell off it. - literally. I am counting down the days

Can you imagine what tenGT3RS could be like if it remains NA??

 

You bet, thanks!

It was fun!

Yeah, and if you get those things on track and keep driving in the heat, they turn pink, like shrimp.



Yes, if you shift below 8K, you miss a lot.

Thanks. I am trying to understand if the high pitched sound is distortion from the exhaust or engine so I can relocate appropriately but you are right and next time, I will try to attach the mic below the exhaust, and to one side of it; that way it is further away from both.

Thanks. It's not like it's a chore. Track planned for Thursday, provided I can go (good chance).

 

I think they did a great job. I am close to 700 miles now and the engine is clearly loosening up. I am worried that with the RS, those bugs would get sucked in the side vents and clog the air filters. Good thing is their season is mainly July and August.

 

Unreal!

 

Thanks Sam for the video! I feel like a Kid waiting for Christmas!
The mic signal is getting overmodulated with 100+ db sound. If you mount it 1 - 2 feet away it will make all the difference in the world. I think when Arth made his video he had it mounted about 12 " away.

 

my entire life I thought nothing could sound better than The Beatles...i was wrong! All my exes live in Texas (maybe 1 more now)

 

just such an excellent sound the waiting now shear torture
Sam great new video and that sound wow

 

I love how it's all suvs and trucks and Sam's GT3. Like a ufo just landed. And, 55 mph feels seriously fast in a white GT3!

 

Hi Sam:

How was it at 9 k rpm? I will do it soon. Will be in Spa and than Zandvoort (Netherlands) in one and a half weeks. On the track I usually loose all hesitance!
By the way - brave driving Sam
And - ahem - what are the fines for speeding in TX? I know - the GT3 does not slow
Enjoy and please report back

Peter

Edit: Sam I saw the video - so no need to elaborate on how it was

 

Life starts at 9k RPM... Our kid's generation of gearheads will hear ab these engines and say "those were the days when engine were naturally aspirated and they had to rev to make power, it's a very antiquated and inefficient way to do it, but it sounded amazing."

 

Thanks everyone. Peter, I do not know the fines for speeding in Texas because I wasn't speeding; please please post videos from Spa and Zandvoort. And thanks, Rob for the tip, I'll try it next time. I agree, CAlexio, future generations will never experience this. I truly think that 20-30 years from now, 2014 GT3s will be demanding 7 figure, especially because they had their epic engine replaced from the factory, a great story for sure. Note to naysayers, please don't e-shoot me for my opinion and mad love for this car!

 

Porsche should send you something very nice, very free, very fast. That's great!
