First day report- GT3
Discussion
Picked up my new purchase this morning a 996 GT3 Mark 2.
For the regulars on here I have become a bit of running joke the way I swap and change my 911's, yes you could say I have got the disease, they really do get under your skin suffice to say this is 911 number 11, in the space of 10 yrs!!.................
So back to the GT3, I've read the mags/reports and spoken to people who have owned GT3's who have raved about sublime handling the epic noise and the overall driving experience, but never really experienced it first hand or been a passenger for that matter, I've always had a thing for Turbo's.
I can honestly say after one day with this car I am gobsmacked I have never had a bigger grin in a car I've owned or driven, they are absolutely phenomenal IMO, revving out at over 8k revs and the howl from the pipes is something else it really is an occasion to drive, the whole balance of the chassis and the feedback from the steering is just right, at this stage I cannot find a negative albeit I know doubt will in time. In the last 1k miles its had a clutch a new diff and new pads and discs a 4 wheel laser alignment and some others odds and sods so well sorted hopefully.
Me been me i'll bore you all with some pics a bit later as I am in the process of crimping my ride.

i love the look of this car, the color, the wheels, and the graphics, all looks near perfect to me. I was watching this on ebay, I was going to take a look at the car but I hadn't heard of the seller, and gt3s on ebay can sometimes be a wasted journey as I have found in the past. looks like it turned out to be a good one though!
look forward to your opinions on driving the car in comparsion to gt2 and turbo.
have fun
