Stephen Tinker Posted 21April, 2021 Report Share Posted 21April, 2021 I just wish I could afford one - 150k UK pounds sounds like a bit of a bargain - just slightly less than what we can buy one here 😡 not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, ever since the launch I’ve seen soooo many Mustangs around in a very similar hue Hugh and nah, it’s not for me carmine red would look great 🤔😂 Henry has a go too firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS 3 Posted 21April, 2021 Report Share Posted 21April, 2021 There are so many things I really like about the 992GT3 Some of the highlights for me. Body styling - (Shark Blue doesn't do it any favours) Its a real step change from the 991 Wheels - sizing and styling tick Brakes - The steel brake redesign and weight saving make them a no brainer Interior - The interior makes for an exceptional cabin to be in; the dumbed down sport mode on the instrument cluster looks great. Sound - Its probably a little quieter, muffled on the outside but who really cares as they have focused on the driver experience and the natural sounds that are entering the cockpit; sounded pretty amazing to me. Driving dynamics - This is where most of the tests that I have watched really set the car apart from the previous 991- The US guys had the GT3 on some canyon roads and not a track like the UK guys so you get a better road feel perspective from them. Track Day Weapon - Those that like to track their GT3 are in for a real treat I suspect. General consensus is that everyone was very surprised at how the 992 is a lot firmer in the ride compared with the 991; they did mention the turn in feel being so much sharper and making direct comparisons in feel to the outgoing 991.2GT3; however I'd prefer Chris Harris's take on that aspect. Is this the last high revving N/A manual true drivers car that the world sees I hope not!!!! Update from Car Wow test 0-100 time GT3 2.87 (Porsche claim 3.4) Turbo S 2.55 (Porsche claim ?)

spiller Posted 22April, 2021 Report Share Posted 22April, 2021 The blue definitely doesn’t work. I get the feeling the metallic colours will look a lot better on this car. CH made lots of references to how we were going to miss these cars. We all know the impending doom of the N/A engine, maybe it’s closer than we think?

Imagine the fuel tax revenue the gubberments around the world will lose! It'd be 100's of billions, not to mention the influential fossil fuel suppliers getting the sooks on at losing their profits. spiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go buy one and I’ll race ya. Fancy wishbones and all. Turn in is pretty good in a 991.2. I’m already shagging a supermodel (metaphorically speaking 🤔) , don’t need to trade up 😂. Plenty will but mid 4s is massive dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have often pondered that at some point Dino Juice is going to become very expensive for us "Hold outs" as the demand/volume drops and the distribution network shrinks. Sure it is going to be some time before we will be buying drums to fuel our cars but at some point the large scale commercial refining/distribution and retailing is going to wind back significantly.

donR Posted 22April, 2021 Report Share Posted 22April, 2021 This car is really doing the rounds and really convenient marketing by Porsche unlike McLaren's antics. If you hadn't seen it yet, even Car Wow has gotten in on the show. I know it's not a drag car but really impressive figures for his second go!

With all these taxes in the new car not a chance, you're not getting tired of Ginger (the super model) yet. I'll patiently wait on the sidelines for a car, great time to sell poor time to buy hard to bet against that saying.

Jason A Posted 23April, 2021 Report Share Posted 23April, 2021 Another fantastic incremental improvement - it’s a piece of work. Would have preferred Riviera Blue and manual- otherwise it’s perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
