Congrats Viken. Sorry to see you leave the C4S club as you always had the answers. I hope this doesn't mean you will forget about us 993ers.

Enjoy!

Thank you all for the congrats and best wishes. Selling the C4S does not mean I am leaving this community. I will continue to pop in on a regular basis just as I have until now.

 

Glad you're not leaving us, Viken.

Congrats on the car.

 

Congrats on a new car and you made good color choise also!
(Do you remember when we discussed about GT3 color choises and I was against metallic colors & preferred speed yellow, white, red...)

So, what are other specs?

 

Thank you!

Yes, I do.

 

Nice, Viken. Congratulations and like others have said, glad you will visit us regularly. BTW, how does Carrara White compare with Grand Prix (mine) or Glacier White?

 

Thank you. Carrara white is much like Grand Prix. Glacier is more blu-ish. The following pic is a pretty good representation:

 

Viken,

White would be my choice too, absolutely superb.

Yesterday met up with a friend who took delivery of his speed yellow GT3 (replaces his previous generation zanzibar red). Since taking delivery on just this last Sunday, he has already covered 480 miles, just trying to run in the car. He claims he already feels the difference in torque even without pushing above 4000rpm. Even more amazing are the brakes.

Sure you cant wait for the arrival of your beast.

 

Viken,

With the exception of the GT3 seats and center console delete, are there any other differences between US and ROW models? I mean, you're not getting a GT3 with SUV ride height are you? Or worse, bumperettes?

ps Funny how this 996 variant is getting a lot kudos from us air-cooled traditionalist

 

AFAIK, that's it except for the fact that you can order a GT3 without A/C in the ROW while it is standard for North American cars. As with other models, there are always other small differences which are not significant.

 

That's because it's got a motor/trans that is very similar to the 993s.

 

Viken:

'Very much the business. I especially like the red seat belts.

Does anyone know the rationale behind the placement of the front brake calipers?

 

Congrats Viken, as the one week owner of a 97TT Glacier white, I like both your car and color choice. Mike W

 

My car was sold last week and it is en route to its new owner. I am certain that he will take as good care of it as I have and enjoy it as I have.

I would like to thank all of you for your support and enthusiasm. You all have been a great bunch.

 

Congrads Viken!! Im sure the new owner will love it!! You make it sound like you are leaving us? I hope you still stay and enlighten us with your knowledge! Maybe you can join us with your GT3 when we cruise? Lead the pack perhaps!
