Finally got out for my first drive with the GT3. This car is CRAZY.

Put just over 100 miles on the odo this morning. Everything checked out great. Clutch is pretty loud though, chattery, when not engaged. Took me a while to realize what was causing the noise.

Shift throws are so much shorter than the 964. Great car!!

Looks great! Does it have a lwfw? If so that is probably the noise, not the clutch.

I sorta hate you for how good white looks on this car. Goddamn.

Stoked it lived up to your expectations! I bought mine completely blind and was blown away the first time I took it out.

I know the clutch was replaced maybe 5k ago. I need to look through the receipts and see what's what.

HA! Thanks.
Lot's of great curvy mountain roads here. I don't think I pushed it past 6/10 this morning, needing to become acquainted before pushing too hard. 1st through 3rd are VIOLENT!

Looks like you bought a great example.
I just passed on a similar 996 GT3 in Cali that just didn't meet my standards in the end and it was a 1 owner car, that's the sad part.

Talking with the previous mechanic, who also owned the car at one point, your suggestion is correct.

Nothing beats these things from 5k rpm to redline! Just be careful if you do that in first gear...it can bite you!!!!! Happy you are happy!
