(from the M5 board) don't know if this was posted already.

 

those look like 19" wheels to me

 

and no sunroof!

 

Is that the batmobile from the back?

I hope they eliminate both mufflers and provide us with a one piece muffler located in the center and behind the engine. The current design disrupts the airflow to the engine heads, and increases the engine operating temperature. Things like the coolant expansion tank on top of the muffler should be re-designed.

There is a fuel line, right on top of the driver's side muffler, below the expansion tank. Excessive heat and fuel lines are not good friends.

The 996GT3 engine generates a lot more heat than the M96 engine. I've checked consistently the Carreras running 40-50 degrees cooler on the engine compartment compared to my car and another GT3 on track days.

 

The GT3 engine makes 25% more power so it has to run hotter everything else equal (Carnot cycle) . May be the extra power in the 997 GT3 simply comes from the center exhaust ~ about a 3% effect. Hmmm … who wants to buy my fabspeed mufflers?

NJ-GT you meant the flow OUT and not TO the heads ... correct?

 

Yet another reason to use bypass pipes!

 

Fabspeed will be all over the new GT3 with its bypass pipes. I look forward to hearing their sound clips when the 997 GT3 does come out

We are looking at a finalized product now guys. I can't wait to see one in the showroom

 

The wheels look like 996 GT3 wheels.

 

18", 19" ...Who can tell under all that brake dust? At least we know its being well tested at the 'Ring.

 

they are 19's, but same style as MKII

 

I'll be happy when I see the U.S. regulation bumperettes...unless this redesigned bumper doesn't need them, which I doubt.

 

Make mine Silver, Colbalt blue or white

 

looks like a volkswagon

 

Ah yes all very interesting but the question has to be... Has the damn thing got a flappy paddle gearbox?

What a sad day that will be.....

P.

 

Not for our residuals!
