Car finally here!!
Truck dropped car off this morning.
Did 2 quick loops around the hood before parking it in garage and heading downtown to a festival.
Initial impressions:
1. Super smooth and quiet - compared to my GT4. Easily a daily driver. I have no idea what some are saying that this car is not a daily capable car. Of course my daily in HS was a 70 trans am 3 speed with no power steering/brakes/windows.
2. Clutch is a little snappy to engage. The engagement point is low and engages over a short travel. I did stall it once because I try not to over rev when engaging 1st.
3. The no lift shift is the way to go.
4. I would characterize the MT as “sophisticated.” It is tight and has a short throw. Don’t get this wrong, but it reminds me of my cousins MG.
5. Steering is very light. Could drive this thing with your pinky.

I have a 718 with Soul race headers and OAPs. Lol.
My fiancé has a Cayenne GTS. It’s louder outside than the GT3.

Did you drive or own a 991 GT car to compare? I find the steering of my GT3RS very light, I dont know how the steering can be made lighter.
Also when you say quiet, how quiet? Is the low rpm rumble not there anymore (sub 4k). I really like the mechanical noises this engine makes coming to a stop even idling.
Maybe they made the car a bit too soft? Yes, whats harsh for a guy might be too soft for another.

cleaning day. Lots of adhesive to get off the glass.
few more notes:
tire/road nose is intense on gravel texture roads. It’s fine on freeway and smooth roads.
first wash had a lot of black dust wash off. Not sure what that was from.
anyone know how to program “normal” mode to hold setting changes. Normal mode has auto-blip and exhaust off.
