You mean its like a Fiat where its texting to baby feed the illegal sitter.. Right you using GPS lol.

Back on topic.

You don't really have to use the stupid flappers right? The car knows what gear to be in right? Race mode better do all the shifting cause I don't know the optimal shift point within 3 RPM's and that's what it will take to be the fastest.. Just left foot brake, defeat anti gas/brake double pedaling or its all pointless and the 997's and Corvettes will come flying by.

Before we meet up in Zurich, test it on GT3 for me RS, but I bet that voids my CPO, and I think I'm gonna need it..

jimmy, i am not familiar with that, but before i watched video, i thought it's a modern air tangent. but as you know, it takes 5 years to set up the air tangent arm and it stays in tune for about 2 min. then the air bearing and pump blows up .... to complicated. i like graham engineering, wheaton or SME. on air stuff for me.

dedicated circuit. OMFG, i need separate circuits too then. it's best just run it off battery poewr, more linear. that peter dude reviewer talks too much. just put the vinyl on, sit down, shut up and listen to music.


CELLO, whatever that weapon is .... looks SCARY.....

this turntable is set-up by lloyd walker and is by all accounts, set and forget. you need to put the compressor in the garage though. there is review in current 40th anni issue of absolute sound. $105k on the road. needs another $50k in phonostage/cart/rack/cables though....
peter's last name is 'breuninger'....gotta be a big talker ya know....lol.

any self-respecting architect should be influenced by HAL on a daily basis..

I can notice weak power during launch, may be tires cold or road slippery or something related to all GT3s

What you saw was launch control which maximizes acceleration while preventing wheel spin.

Yes for sure it is launch control, but GT3 is all about cornering not drag in my opinion other wise why turbo & GT2

disagree, the car is about doing everything well. Acceleration, corner, high speed, feel and involvement.

Same roads/location as the Monkey.

I agree car is doing everything perfectly to aid and involve the driver.

Mooty, if you want a third pedal, just fit one and a big *** spring plus a imitation H gate... brain, hand and leg doing what comes natural and car making all the right moves to stay a head... a win all round!!

GTR only leads in it's own world. I had one for over a year, great bang for the buck, but not for me. Even this past weekend while tuning one, I got to drive a 2013 around the street just remind me why I don't like it.
Performance wise is a car that does a lot well but no feel or involvement, really numb feel, and not even a good daily, as it's fat, big and SO STIFF

I am not even looking to GTR in the street so to think buying it! but reality that it is a super car in road or track + cheaper than our Porsche

I am afraid from flooding the market by the new GT3 since most buyers don't link manual gear and once 991 GT3 is PDK it will be sold immediately and by girls as well.

I am the only GT3 99.9999% of the time in the street and 10s of turbos and other 911s but with PDK this formula will be change.
