I could live with a tip if it came with paddles but not in its current configuration on the 996.

You can retrofit them (on the 997 you can use the OEM PDK wheel along with a controller module and a bit of coding via PIWIS); I was going to but figured my money was better spent on an exhaust and a tune.

Costs nothing to just move the stick with your left hand - used to do this in 928GTS (right hand though - Germany). 928 is one car that really should have had tiptr.

Really nice one Phil. Well done . I know you will get to love her more and more . They provide a constantly involving and evolving set of experiences , driven by adrenalin and seasoned by the smell of oil,clutch and burning rubber, never mind the leather interior. All you need to do is coax the performance out of her that your abilities and timetable permit.
Oh yes , and avoid the wet track days.

Thanks everyone, still getting used to the clutch and gearbox, getting back into the Bmw seems very weird and makes it feels like a corolla now
Woah! That spin is insane, you're a very lucky man Neil

MrPhil. Congrats on the GT3. Its the highest spec 7.1.3 Ive seen in NZ. Very very nice, love the buckets and CF components. I think you made a good purchase, you shouldn't loose anything on the deal and there are plenty of RSG guys that will take it off your hands when the time comes...

Since the outside has been all done i wanted to do the interior, started cleaning the alcantara and leather only to find its already clean. Even behind the wheels are clean and calipers waxed.

i reached out to the lovely people on here and everyone gave their views, i spoke to everyone i knew in the car trade and they gave me their views. SO a big Thank you to everyone for helping out
Now owning the car i cant be more happier, the condition of the car is perfect, its in such good condition due to the passion for cars the previous owner has.
also the martini graphic looks fantastic on the 991

125bhp per litre. The same as the new 991 GT3+ GT3RS. I agree with you Graeme, even if it is true Id say its going to be 50hr engine on a good day....the 458 special holds the record for production per litre currently at 128bhp per lire IIRC...

i'm also a big detailing geek and was looking forward to spending sometime washing, claying and waxing the car but its all been done by the previous owner. Since the outside has been all done i wanted to do the interior, started cleaning the alcantara and leather only to find its already clean. Even behind the wheels are clean and calipers waxed. Thanks Macca, as you know it was a big decision for us, the wife and i discuss it till we were blue in the face. i reached out to the lovely people on here and everyone gave their views, i spoke to everyone i knew in the car trade and they gave me their views.

My R had been on the market for 3 months, although I'm still not sure why. It was in similar pristine condition, although I don't aspire to keep it at that level I do appreciate getting what felt and looked like a new car. So much so that I've decided not to order the only new Porsche I would likely ever own, a GT4. I think this is good enough to keep me challenged for a few years.
Drive it in good health and keep posting your experiences.

I wonder what you could own that GT3 for? As a 'track bitch' - it could be a propersition. Only becomes a headache when do decide to revert to a show pony one day...??
