Only one place to run it in this Sunday.... and it’s not the 12hr........... try the cones at the MK training day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 1February, 2018 Report Share Posted 1February, 2018 I haven't got PPF on it yet (goes on the 10th) so I won't run it at the training day. So my option is I can bring it down for people to have a look. Or I can bring my 997 and actually drive. Decisions decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmxnut Posted 1February, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 1February, 2018 Very very nice Sleazius. The metallic looks great. Did you end up going red dev. stiching inside ? etc Hows the manual ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 1February, 2018 Report Share Posted 1February, 2018 Just some quick observations in my extremely limited 40kms or so I've put on the car. The car is loud. As in, what is the point of this radio loud - at least at 110km anyway. You can hear it, but you need to crank it. Only gets worse when you turn on the exhaust. Its much bigger than a 997 but doesn't feel it when you sit inside it. Engine is ridiculously responsive, but when not in sport mode you don't need to worry about it lurching off the line if you get it wrong. It sounds amazing, and is clearly the best part of this car. Haven't had it over 5000 yet but it's bloody loud then, 9000 is going to scream. Clutch is very light. I don't have heaps of GT3 experience but driving my bro-in-laws series 1 996 GT3 is like driving a 50s truck in comparison. Gearbox feels like a gem. Haven't driven it hard enough to say more than that. Fixed buckets are miles better than I was expecting. I'm a bit of a unit (in the fat/tall sense not the buff one) and the seats are very comfortable which surprised me. The thing that is hard to get use to is the steering. The car goes where you want it to go, ridiculously precise. It feels better at speed. But it's not the steering that I've been use to since the SC. Can't wait to get some more time in the car.

I wonder with the 992 if they'll make you option the steering wheel next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels very very nice, but I can't say much more than that as I've barely driven it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB_981 Posted 3February, 2018 Report Share Posted 3February, 2018 Picked mine up again today, like a 2nd delivery so can't complain. As I was there a new owner was collecting their Black GT3 - plates "GTNERO". anyone here ... looked great. Bit annoyed, it had Michelin but I have Dunlops. Of course, I have no scientific evidence one is better than the other but do think the Michelin look better Think it is pretty hard to mess up these cars with configuration (although a couple of the PTS I have seen online seem to be an acquired taste).

The Dunlops should be toast by the time it`s run in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I have no scientific evidence one is better than the other but do think the Michelin look better Personal choice really. To me with bikes (have been told it's the same with cars too) Dunlops have always had the reputation of being more predictable with giving you a warning when near the limit of grip (same as Pirelli tyres), whereas Michelins have always had the reputation of a little higher level of grip with similar compounds, but then let go with not much warning I'd much prefer Dunlops personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB_981 Posted 3February, 2018 Report Share Posted 3February, 2018 “This review bought to you by Kia Stinger”. I guess we, and all the big UK reviewers, have it wrong. No surprise really, this is the direction we are headed - self driving, silent, emotionless, bland transport. My desire. to do cafe runs, track days and Sunday cruising has not been diminished. My only confusion is why this was on motoring.com.au and not betterhomesandgardens.com.au .... must have been a posting error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
