Porsche 991 GT3 Owners' Discussion
Discussion
Went for a blast last night and took a mate who's been a friend since we were 6 and has grown up with my driving. He's always been comfortable with it, regardless of how fast I go, including my 440bhp TT RS that I had. He'd been out during the running in period but hasn't really experienced what the GT3 had to offer.
In short, he couldn't handle it. Couldn't understand how it was possible for a car to go that fast and for the first time in all those years of driving asked me to slow down.

Like it; like to have seen his expression In short, he couldn't handle it. Couldn't understand how it was possible for a car to go that fast and for the first time in all those years of driving asked me to slow down.

Hi chaps took delivery of my 991 GT3 PCCB AND CLUBSPORT on 25th of April so far 800 miles of sheer joy Silverstone done and Anglesey booked next woop woop - best car ever - looked at quite a few before settling for this one - and was not disappointed one tiny bit -
Are you part of Club Mulholland by any chance? Edited by Avik on Monday 18th May 23:21

Thought I recognised the car/photo thats all from something Paul shared a little while ago! Looks good, and good to see you're tracking it!
Hi Matt,Are you also part of Club Mulholland? There are a few of us with GT3s in the club, not sure which pic Paul sent out. Mine is white, I haven't had a chance to track mine yet but will definitely do one at Spa on the coming European Tour

No I wish! Im only 21, little way off their target market just yet! Are you also part of Club Mulholland? There are a few of us with GT3s in the club, not sure which pic Paul sent out.

I was referring to the Silver one shared above looked like a silver one Paul shared! Unless you are who I think you are, and have recently married and had a little one Zaki?
And therefore I do know of your GT3 (991) 
Got mine on 2nd Jan'15, stunning car, can't believe how much it's moved the game on. Changed the oil at 1,200 mls, before i
started using all the revs. The last 500 rpm does sound mental. After studying the power and torque curves from the brochure,
i now use no more than 8,500. Now with the RS having a lower redline, has to be the best for the longevity of the motor.
These cars produce there maximum power at 8.250, and the power really falls away from 8,500 to 9.000. Plus the fact the last
500 rpm does sound like it could explode. Interesting fact that Walter rarely goes over 8,000.

Totally agree with you. I made the very same point on another post.started using all the revs. The last 500 rpm does sound mental. After studying the power and torque curves from the brochure,
i now use no more than 8,500. Now with the RS having a lower redline, has to be the best for the longevity of the motor.

Hi all
just jumping in here, as I've just got a 991 GT3
good spec (for me..)
Clubsport package
PCCB
Front lift
few other bits & bobs
loving it so far - had a 996.1 GT3 CS a few years ago - I'm surprised by how much it reminds me of this in its character;
Need to find a suitable track day now

Got mine today after a bloody long wait but I have to say it was well worth it, add this one to the numbers people.
Just got to wait now and get it registered. Thinking of waiting till the 1st of September.
Driving it back it didn't take long till I had some company.
A few checks later and we was back on our way (45 minutes)
