OFFICIAL 991.2 GT3 RELEASE *Confirmed 500HP 4.0 & Manual option*

Never understood the attraction of high speed, zero-g-force adventures. Just sitting there in a shaking car, with no g-force in any direction and praying that nothing mechanical fails and that no critter or road debris crosses your way. Russian roulette sounds much simpler and much more exciting. The straights are the most boring parts of any track -- can't wait till they are over.
Airfield no other cars is the safest way to play, and yes it get very light after 180mph ........did 200mph is a 650S so I have no desire to get there again. The twisties is the place to be in these cars .....honestly I have no desire to need more than 500 hp's.

I love the Twisties too. But torque in a straight line can also be thrilling. In other words, it's not the straight-line speed that I find so exciting, but generation of G forces in a straight line - in other words being thrust back in your seat by a wonderful combination of a great manual transmission, and a strong motor with an incredible sound, well that can feel pretty good as well. Aand the best combination is putting it all the use while in the Twisties or coming out of a nice turn.

Agree, I've driven the Auto Bahn and takes one person to cut you off in error you're dead. Now I did 160 mph in my M5 no cars around , and it does make you focus on safety but risky. The .1 GT3 will hit 200mph in the right conditions there's a member here that hot 203 on an airfield.

Coming out of a turn the same issue applies. If you lack power at the beginning of the gear you have to use you would be better off with a flatter torque curve.
That requires, however, that the naturally aspirated car falls into a power hole in the first place. That would require wide gear spacing, and a higher redline also helps with the beginning of the next gear.
Are torque curves available for the 991.2 GT3?

German courts have also limited liability for somebody who makes a mistake below 130 km/h and gets hit by a person substantially faster than 130 km/h, such as an improper lane change. The person going faster is partially responsible for the damage on their own car even if actual traffic rules were only broken by the slow car.
The other thing some need to be aware of is pressuring the slower car in front. Flashing hi beams or leaving your left turn signal on can get you reported and receive a possible fine. Noticed that a lot of drivers in those situation recommend using your horn a little while back since its harder to figure out who honked at the slow driver.

Lots of good discussion on color/options....
what i I want to know is will the .2 GT3 hit 200mph?
not that I'd ever get there, but with all the conficting discussion of the .1 3 hitting 200mph or not, with 25+ more HP, the .2 3 has to be a shoe-in into the 200mph club!

And MB drivers still believe they have a built-in right of way when doing so.

Not that there is a way that a crime gets you into prison in Germany, unless it is tax cheating...

The more I see white on this car, the less I like it. A I'm a fan of white.
All the contours just disappear.
