spiller Posted 31October, 2021 Report Share Posted 31October, 2021 First 992 GT3 I’ve seen out in the wild in Adelaide, driving down my street today! Heard it coming as I was outside washing my 996. The exhaust note is definitely fairly muted compared to the 991. Looked great, especially in white.

SS 3 Posted 31October, 2021 Report Share Posted 31October, 2021 There was a Python Green one at PCB yesterday. I have to say that it blew me away how good it looked in the flesh. Much more RS looking of old than GT3. They also had a 991.2 GT3 lined up behind it which made comparisons easy.

IMG_4637.mov I’d have to agree. It’s very “motorsport” right out of the box, which is appealing and the way the GT3 should be IMO. The RS is going to be outrageous.

spiller Posted 31October, 2021 Report Share Posted 31October, 2021 @sleazius I don’t see how those end plates could ever be made to be “pedestrian safe”. I’d expect the final product to be dumbed down a bit from that. Surely? Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more a comment about the scale of the thing - check out a photo in profile, the wing is sitting well above the roof line. The design of it is also giving me heavy JDM after market vibes. I only give a stuff because I've got an EOI in on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS 3 Posted 10November, 2021 Report Share Posted 10November, 2021 The new GT3 on track with Phil from Drift Works who owns a wheel and suspension workshop in the UK. This is his 1st time on the track with the 992 after running it in; he does have a 997.2GT3 and did have a 991.1 GT3; in this video he tracks alongside Al who is in a 996 GT3 with Manthey racing mods.

They are twitchy on the limit, just like an early 911. The 992 wouldn't be breaking a sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each newer model is designed to be incrementally better of course they are all great cars to me; its just great to see them on the track being spanked.

edgy Posted 3December, 2021 Report Share Posted 3December, 2021 I spotted my first 992 GT3 in the wild the other night, it was Gentian Blue... stunning! No surprises from me since its very similar to Lapis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
