Default 6Gt3 Idle

Hi Guys, I am new to the Gt3 world and just recently purchased a 6gt3...I noticed when idling the rpm bounces a bit, sometimes evens out depending on the gas or how i drive. Does anyone else have a bouncy idle? What could be the reason?

Other than that the car is absolutely awesome....really more than I expected.

Thanks!!

+1. If you have a digital dash (for the track) you'll see the RPM jump pretty clearly.

As others members have mentioned that's normal. Now we would love to see a few pictures of the newly acquired beast though when you get a chance

Better us than the dealer telling you that "they ALL do that!"

Pics are expected. Take it to the track!

Not the rumpty rump of a big overlap-V8-no vacuum until 3,000 rpm cam (but still noticeable).

No worries.
