Great car storage facility not far from NYC.

ipse dixit

You will.

This is why you haven't missed the GT3 PDK-S. Yet.

Wow- that looks awesome. If I did not have the luck I had to land the .2 GT3 it was either the above or an LP 580-2.

A few peeps asked me for observations on the driving experience, especially as it compares to my 991.1 TTS and 991.1 GT3 RS, so here's short blurb after a couple of hundred miles ...

The best way I could describe this car is that it feels like the unholy offspring of a three way between said 991.1 RS/991.1 TTS, and 69 Boss 429. As fast as a TTS on the street, faster than the 991.1 RS on track (I think by a ridiculous 10 secs at the ring), and sounds like the aforementioned 60s muscle car. American muscle combined with German engineering, precision, and finish. If anyone were trying to decide between it and a 991.2 TTS (or PDK .2 GT3 for that matter) and is willing to forego a couple of 10ths of a second 0-60 I would tell them to buy this 10 out of 10 times, the every day driving experience is exponentially more fun than the rather muted TTS and you don't have to live above 6k rpm like the RS ... it's basically the best of all of the wolds. And that sound, that orgasmic sound. I'm happy to post tracking impressions and lap time comparisons when I get her there. I'm very interested to see how my upcoming 991.2 GT3 will compare to it performance wise.

I drove a customer’s car.

Engine sounds awesome.

Fit and finish is really awesome.

Steering is a little more “muted”- you have to reach deeper into your sensitivity to feel the front wheels

The front wheels at large lock angles scrub similar to the SLS or Viper, lots of caster

Brakes are great around town

Mega torque vs GT3RS/ R...

Feels more skateboard-y in stiffer modes, definitely only usable on the race track unless you are in soft mode.

Definitely side by side the revs of the RS give you more tingle than the motorboat V8

Visibility not as good as porsche

Thanks Soulsea for the review; keep your thoughts coming as you get more miles on her. Can’t wait for mine to be delivered!

Never been a big fan of Merc, but man the race version of this car sounds like the baddest thing on the planet. A mechanical orgasm. Whenever they catch one pulling out of the pits on the broadcast, I replay it a few times.

The GT3 race car still uses 6.3 NA engine not the 4.0 Turbo in GTR

Archimedes

Whatever it is, it sounds fantastic. I believe one of my business partners has the 6.3 in his Merc AMG and it sounds great as well.

raclaims

Pretty sure the 4.0 turbo will be in the GT4 car tho...so big brother / little brother

funny video.

Gave me my morning laugh.

Someone should not have been fiddling with the traction control knobbie..

RobbieRob

Seen that on IG yesterday and thought the same thing. The GTR needs that thing on fulltime for amateur drivers or the *** end will be in front of you just as fast as it would in a ZO6
