A GT4 will not stay with it in a straight line Yet how would it go in the twisties? I'm not trying to poke the Bear here, yet that makes me laugh with any sportscar/supercar manufacturers/owners dribbling on about 0-100 times, 4kph faster at max rpm in top gear and whether its got 3.2hp more than brand X. Theres no point having a shitload of horsepower if you can't use it where it really matters...in the hills 😉😁 I'll get my Lolli Gobble Bliss Bombs ready (ask ya parent what they are) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha Bliss bombs are my kryptonite (highly recommend the Coles version at half the price though) Once you have some weight in the back of a Hiace, it balances the thing out and you can go for it.

Dalai Posted 26April, 2020 Report Share Posted 26April, 2020 Enough with this whole off topic chat about vans. I used to own a VW Sunliner campervan and would suprise cars through the Black Spur once it got going. Just don't talk to me about headwinds on the Hume; had to slipstream semis to go faster than 80km/hr! Back to the buttered popcorn vs salted peanuts please.

edgy Posted 29April, 2020 Report Share Posted 29April, 2020 Something tells me its possibly not a factory CS like the ad suggests, seats in leather, no fire extinguisher and no battery cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick V Posted 29April, 2020 Report Share Posted 29April, 2020 Just when I thought I was sooooo bored and done with black cars, this pops up & looks awesome in black. Perhaps a little optimistic pricing wise?!? But hey, if you don’t ask, you don’t get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 29April, 2020 Report Share Posted 29April, 2020 Although it's for the GT2 brochure, this should help understand the seats in leather discussion (I've never seen it offered in conjunction with 003, only fabric)...

I browsed the GT3 one its not in there (not the one I have) Awesome to see brochures still around (albeit GT2), thanks @edgy. So, I understood there to be 3 Specs for 996.2 GT3 : Standard (as in no changes or seat options requested) - Car comes with Bucket seats in leather (carbon fibre backed?) Clubsport Option - Bucket seats in nomex (carbon fibre backed?), roll cage, fire extinguisher, battery cut-off, SMFW, etc. Comfort/Touring Option - Sport seats (similar to Carrera sport seat option) in leather, no other changes? Is this correct? Jason A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Closer to 997 GT3 actually, the carbon backed buckets are aka CGT seats and 997 specific, NO carbon backed seats in 996 type.. I responded to your points below: Standard (as in no changes or seat options requested) - Car comes with Bucket seats in leather (carbon fibre backed?) - Correct except not Carbon backed in the 996 Clubsport Option - Bucket seats in nomex (carbon fibre backed?), roll cage, fire extinguisher, battery cut-off, SMFW, etc. - Mostly correct except the Carbon again, 6.1 lost the airbags in the doors too Comfort/Touring Option - Sport seats (similar to Carrera sport seat option) in leather, no other changes? - Absolutely no such option, you specify "sports seats" to the standard GT3... There was NO such model as a GT3 Touring until 991.2, a GT3 without 003 is simply a GT3, especially in the 996 since the came with buckets by default, it was the 997 that came with sports seats as standard, only the 003 option added buckets, I believe later cars ie 997.2 got the 2nd optional LW folding bucket seats aka GT2 seats. This is right out of the 996 GT3 brochure (6.2) Note: Sports Seats option P77 6.2 colour palate while I am at it...

Back 2013 when I was searching for my 996 GT3, I found these photos on the WEB of an Aussie 996 MK1 GT3 with 111 KM on the clock and kept them for reference. Is this the Rusty French GT3?
