Default Getting a 991.2 GT3

After selling some time ago my manual 997.1 turbo, I finally decided to get back a 911.
I went for a 2018 GT3. I liked the specs and I the extremely low milage/immaculate conditions convinced me to buy it.
The color may not be the most exotic, but it reminded my my turbo so I had a soft spot for it.

Specs:

Clubsport
Bucket seats
PDLS
Extended leather
Red stitching
Lift
Black satin wheels
PCCB
PDK

I was not so sure about the PDK, but still, it is my only non-manual toy, so I will live with that (actually it is not so bad)
I'm not a fan of black rims, so I bought a second set in silver which in my opinion fit the car very much (I also had some black stripes stickers)

I'm getting to know the car; all in all the first impression it that the car is much faster than what you may perceive ;-)

Here you have some pictures, with stripes and both black and silver rims

Shame about the PDK but looks amazing with the silver wheels. I too am not a fan of black wheels and had the black ones that came with my car repainted silver (and I alternate them with a set of silver BBS magnesium wheels I got separately)

Looks really nice - are you keeping the decals or removing? Not the kind of thing I would add personally but I actually think they look really good.

Disagree with the PDK dislike, my 991 was PDK and Touring is now manual and I would genuinely be happy with either.

Done to death I know😊 I thought I wanted manual but now I’m not so sure!

Love them too, they are the same as the ones in my 981 Spyder. Very comfortable and beautiful at the same time

Concerning PDK, I'm getting used to it and finally is much better than what I expected.
For the decals, I wanted them and I'm happy to keep them at least for a while. Actually they offset the ordinary silver body color ;-)

I love the PDK and would be happy with either. I picked up the PDK because I'm really into my laps times. However, I recommend treating your PDK like a manual and ALWAYS shift it manually...even when in traffic. I have had at least one Dual Clutch car in my fleet since 2008 and quickly decided to treat it just like a manual, but without a clutch pedal. I love it. Now I still enjoy driving a manual. but nothing can replace the amount of precision you can have in a PDK.

Congrats on the well-specced car. GT2 seats are very fitting.
