I also think you need to apriori request an extension to the insurance coverage that PAG provides w/Euro Delivery accordingly...

You can request however much you want when you go to check out to pick up your car. No need to preplan. It's about $1200/month for insurance from what I remember.. hefty. I kept it there over 3 months due to multiple trips to enjoy it and then after awhile they started charging me extra even for the winter wheel setup. It gets expensive fast.

Alex,

Can you please elaborate on this? I've driven a 991 Turbo and it was powerful and quick, but also was laggy (noticeable to me), heavy, and soulless (IMHO). I have not yet driven a 992 Turbo, but I suppose I expected a similar car, just with more boost.

What can you tell us about how it feels different compared to the previous generation and what they have done to it from a driving experience perspective?

Just to chime in, I think the ratios on the 991.2 GT3 were perfect. You won't find any more time on track with different ratios, you might lose time shifting more. As for fun on the street, well, I understand the complaint about the GT4, 2nd tops out at 82 mph. You might say in the GT3 it's also 82 in 2nd (well 81.4 I found), but it's apples and oranges because the GT3 will be at 9000 rpm while the GT4 is at 7800 rpm.

Power is the time rate of change of energy. By definition you want a motor that is putting out as much power as possible that then goes into increasing the (kinetic) energy of the car.

I agree that "torque means acceleration" intuition is all screwed up. High torque at low RPM just means high power at low RPM, and you want as much power as possible at ALL RPM. Around town when you're putt putting around at low RPM, you want more power at low RPM for fun factor to just punch it and accelerate. To get more power at low RPM, you need a motor that can inhale a lot of air to be able to convert a high rate of gasoline chemical energy into mechanical energy to make that power, which a Turbo (or large displacement motor) is great at.

And yes for a rotating motor in this case the power output is directly related to the torque output and the angular velocity...

when you click on the 992 GT3 in the porsche newsroom it shows you the 2019 speedster specs...

I would love to do that but it is going to be hard since there are so many variables (PTS impact on delivery, ED timing, COVID, Allocation timing etc). My last ED, I did a group delivery where Porsche paid for two hotel nights and had other really cool activities. All of us had dinner together at a nice restaurant paid for by Porsche. It was awesome.



I didn't follow the break-in protocols but I recall that I could reach 140 mph without going over 4k rpm.

Ignoring dannyfor's random bump to the thread, does anybody know the top speed in each gear for the GT3 manual gearbox?

I'm seeing approx 80mph in 2nd and 105mph in 3rd. Is that about right?
