Default I little introduction

Hey Folks,
after reading in this forum for a lot time i guess i should introduce myself with some lines. In advance i like to tell you guys that you are all wonderful, it feels great to share my passion with other 991 GT3 drivers.

I am from Berlin, Germany, 31 one years old and this is my second Porsche. To drive this brand was a dream of my childhood which became true when i turned 27. I bought a Porsche Cayman R, which i was driving for the last 3 years (if anyone is interested: the car is currently on sale). I loved my R and its purism. I realized very quickly that a "regular" 911 won´t be an option for me in future. I would never say it isn´t a nice car, but i need something rough, something loud, something which is different. Unfortunately other brands like Ferrari and Lamborghini where never an option for me, i just don´t like their charism.

Lucky for me, that Porsche had one model which fulfilled all my dreams in handling, speed, presence..... .... the GT3

I got my baby in Prag and imported it to Germany. I have already installed the Sharkwerks bypass which gives the car a wonderful sound. I also installed a hidden button to open and close the valves in any RPM anytime (due to our sound regulations here)

In the fact i am driving all the time i was not able to take many pictures so far But some i could take. I love it in every fasset an in every second. After 3000km i can say this is the perfect car for me.

Thanks again to everyone, love to be in this Forum!

Best, Propman!

There's something interesting about the roll cage. I was struggling about to take it or not. My cayman had a rear trunk which was very useful when you have some bags. The cayman could carry a lot (who thinks this argument has maybe something to do with my girlfriend: yes you are right ;-))

But well guys I had to make a decision and I decided to take the cage. Here comes the great fact: even bigger bags (I don't mean really large ones) fit very well through the X in the cage into the plenty space of the back.

I don't know if anyone ever thought about this: i just wanted to let you know :-)

FYI, those are the GT2 folding buckets that we had in the US with the 997, Boxster and Cayman. The new seats we're waiting for are very different and found in the 918.

Default Seats

Totally right. This is not the 918 seat. I have these:

http://image.motortrend.com/f/roadtests/coupes/1107_2012_porsche_cayman_r_test/34130200/2012-porsche-cayman-r-driver-seat.jpg

It is the same I had in my cayman r and there was no option to switch to a more comfortable one - they are awesome and fit my needs.

But please keep in mind that you should have a slim budy, otherwise you will not be happy with it.

Propman: stunning pics! Welcome to the forum! LOVE the pic of the LED headlights. Best quality pics I've seen up close and personal of the LED headlights on the white GT3. Stunning!

Unfortunately in the US they put a brightness governor on the LED's...so I went PDLS Black.
