GT3 Touring - Woah.
I guess this can be a good way to introduce myself to the group? I've been following this forum for a while and just today decided to make an account.
Yesterday after a 4month wait (quite short tbh) I picked up the 911.2 Porsche Touring and honestly I am over the moon. This car is mental, it has the class the normal gt3 is lacking (next to the T - love the wing one though) but with all the brutal power and sound that engine makes. After speaking to a dear friend of mine, that races for Porsche, he told me that at least for Europe there is no break in period as the engines have already been ran in 500/600KM and that it just needs to be in temperature.
This short shifter is just great, and all the mechanical noises this car makes, every bump, every gear change, every little movement feels like you're breaking something and god I love that noise, so pure.
Here are a few pictures of the car:
I have yet to push it over 6K RPM but as soon as you floor it on first gear (let it be that the Cup 2 are brand new) the rear end likes to slide around.
I'll give a better review of it the more I drive it but managed to put 30miles on it even though where I live there is a car event + Tennis master series meaning the roads are properly blocked.
Fun fact: I also have a GLC 43AMG and that car took more time to be delivered than this beauty.

Congrats!! Enjoy in good health. I took my GT3 to Monaco to cross it off the bucket list right before the tennis tournament/as they were setting it up, and boy did it get hairy on some of those streets that wind up north from the casino to get back on the highway..
BTW - don't think my winged GT3 is missing class, but agree and understand that the touring is much more subtle and discreet

When you see it in person looks much nicer than picture.
I think you managed to escape the mayhem that is going on rn! Currently driving around in a vespa haha.
I'll post the interior pics later on today as I am currently at work.
