Default Sharkwerks GT3 RS

3.9 litre engine upgrade w/ software, 8800 redline, and it sounds pretty good.

It's not worth the extra 100k and the turbo power is a turn off. You could find a 997 GT3 cup or RSR for less.

well, there will always be guys who like naturally aspirated, then there are guys who just love to get blown! ur right though, its not worth the extra 100k having had 997 gt3 as well. but, i simply love big power - i found the sound of the n/a motor in the gt3 intoxicating but 415hp got old pretty quick.

cool guess you could have just done a sharkwerks 3.9 conversion to your old gt3 but that wouldn't be under warranty.

But how much does the upgrade/tune cost?
I'm sure it ain't cheap, and for difference after you've paid for the tune
I'd much rather have the GT 2. Cause if you want to go even faster it's a couple of grand for a chip upgrade.

Thanks guys... would it help if I told you the guy who built it (James the other owner) is Canadian. That automatically makes it faster, right?

Anyways here's some more videos etc...:
