I had a possibility to view the color on a GT3 before I ordered. I was also a big fan of voodoo blue, so I think this one suits me well

Thank you.
My GTS is 6.3" therefore I understand FAL is mandatory in my case otherwise I will face various limitations in the areas I drive my car.
Congrats again for your car.

The suspension is hard but I don't see any issues with driving it daily. I wouldn't call this comfort but who's looking for comfort in a GT3?
I was really worried about it being so low but with the front axle lift so far I have had no issues (and Polish roads are far from being perfect).
LWB seats fit me really well - I've done more than 4 hours of driving without any stops - nothing to complain about.

Thanks, very helpful. My current street car is an M5C F90 which is close enough to the M3 F80 to understand your comparison. I also own an M4 F82 but bought it after it had already been modified into a track car.

FWIW - I measured my 991.2 lip after seeing this and it's roughly the same height. And you are correct about the ducts. I'd also add that the depth of the lip is really important too. For example the lip on the 718 GT4 is really deep so it scrapes more than the 981 did.

Do you prefer the standard red rear lights over the clear rear lights?

My 991.2 GT3 was 4.5 inches.

It looks like the 992 is higher. At 5 plus I really do not think a Lift is that necessary unless you live some place that is challenging. In the Midwest would not be too bad of an issue.

I've seen black 992 GT3 with clear lights, and regular lights are much better looking. I guess that's a personal thing tho

Would you say this photo captures the "real" color of shark blue as compared to what you see with your eyes in real life?
