Default Just got my GT3...

My 2010 GT3 arrived today! Very excited. I've had many porsche's over the years and favor the air cooled stuff. I still have an 88 Targa. I have to say the GT3 is by far the best ever. Finally a Porsche which sounds like it should in stock form with performance very similar to a Turbo.

Specs:
Porsche certified, 2,700 miles, Black/Black, full leather, Adaptive Sport Seats, PCM 3.0/extended nav, Crest in headrest, PCCB brakes, heated seats, dynamic engine mounts, front axle lift system, sound package plus, dynamic cornering lights, bluetooth phone interface, sport chrono plus.

Some first impressions and a couple of embedded questions:

1. Love how it sounds. Wish it was slightly louder. I have a Scuderia which is very loud but I would love to increase the volume a bit. Would that be handled by the Sharkworks bypass or does that make it serious loud?

2. Performance is very good. What do folks think about the chip upgrade from EVOM? I assume a change like that would void the certified warranty?

3. Seats are great and the the interior is excellent. I really like all the alcantara. Seats are great. Good combination of support and comfort.

4. Love the ride height and having the lift system. The car is properly low but can easily get over speed bumps with the lift system. Perfect combo.

5. Really like the short crisp shifting. I miss not having a manual with the Scuderia so this is a welcome change.

Thanks!

Red ones get dirty quick too. All it takes is about 30-40 miles on dry roads.
Congrats...enjoy it.

Sw bypass (or the like from rss, GMG, etc) will wake the sound right up

Congratulations - looks great

I agree, get the SW bypass and it will be plenty loud. I just took delivery of a 2007 RS and the GT3 series is pure magic. The lift system would be nice I have to admit.

I go +1 for the SW bypass being exactly what you are looking for.

A must have IMO.

Thanks! I see we are in the same city. I dont suppose you have the SW bypass installed where I can hear it first hand? YouTube only goes so far..
