Default My red queen with manual transmission is here




I took delivery of my Guards Red GT3 with manual transmission and light weight bucket seats last week. I drove it directly from Sunset Porsche to my detailer “Attention2Detail” so it can get a Suntek full wrap. I also had Sunset install Michelin Pilot 4S tires so I can enjoy the car during the rainy season. I am supposed to get the car back next week from the detail shop and I will be posting full review. From the little time I had with the car, my initial impressions are WOW, WOW. The manual is so sweet and precise, the clutch effort is much lighter than both my GT4, and Spyder, and very similar to my 2017 911 Targe 4S, the low end torque is noticeable, where you don’t need to rev it up high to accelerate, the steering seems sharper and with more feedback than my 2014 GT3, the ride seems more compliant, and the noises, oh yes the engine noises, are to die for...
I am planning to put at least 1500 miles before March rolls in, and just in time for the season to start. The plan is to use it instead of my 2016 Spyder for both track & Autocross events in 2018. Can’t wait.... I will post a detailed review after I drive it for few hundred miles.... here are few pictures. Mark

Looks great! Congrats and enjoy!

How does the shifter feel in comparison to the Spyder/GT4?
