Dammit, Sam. I just watched the video again. That's an angry sounding motor--pissed off for having been kept waiting for 3 lousy stickers.

Congrats--thanks for the videos!

Maybe I'm biased but the GT3 is a much more involving car. I had the first CLS 55 AMG in town when they first came out way back then and got bored of it in 3 months. I realize this is a different engine etc but still.
yes i had the new cls63 once already and got bored of it as well. sold after 2 months. was just considering it again as it now has AWD, and im in canada. although just saw the new s63 coupe and it looks very hot, and has 664 lbft of torque.


incidentally i did get to see my first 991 gt3 in person at my dealer. it was a customers car who cancelled, now sitting there available, waiting for its new engine.

must say i was a but underwhelmed by the looks. it appeared rather puny and insignificant??? even from the rear. tiny and narrow... is that just me?

of course i realize in this case seeing is not necessarily believing, HEARING is believeing.

i dont know ... 458 italia, mclaren 12c?

obviously it doesnt compare price wise to these cars. i was just hoping the gt3 looked a little more imposing. but it didnt.

I'm pretty sure it's just you. I've been following this forum and other venues since the 991 GT3 was first introduced and been aware of a number of criticisms but this is the first time I've read or heard that one.....

Awesome, Sam. Looking forward to hearing/watching your vid on something other than an iPad, although on Thursday I'll have a car back that I can listen to first hand!

Thanks Paul. Time crawls when you're waiting, but as Sam can attest it does eventually pass. Your car will be here soon!

You're getting so close, awesome. Yes, I lost many nights of sleep the week before delivery, for real.

Congrats, guys, this is awesome.

Tremendous noise, just fantastic. How much of a difference did the headers make to the sound, performance? I've got the Sharkwerks already... Thx again!

Sam quick question, does removing the headers in the US not void the warranty.

I ask because it does here. And for the whole car
