Good colour Agate. Wheel colour? Satin Aliminum.

The Satin Aluminium wheels would contrast perfectly on Agate Grey with Yellow PCCB's IMO

Taken from Autocar review of MT GT3.2 in April 2017

"
The two gearboxes share the same first, second, third and fourth gear ratios."

Interesting from Autocar above, But at odds with what the respected US mag Road and Track had to say about the gearing on the first 2. Below
"
The manual does have tall gearing in its first two ratios (second is good for 81 mph), but the GT3 spends so little time in those gears that it's less of a criticism and more of "

If the MT in the GT3 can pull over 80 as apposed to just over 60 in second, then yes I can see how this would work.

The PDK car does 77mph in 2nd gear though so 81 in the manual isn't that far off either. The .2 gt3 shares the same manual gearbox as the R with exactly the same ratios. As terryb says it was setup to replicate the pdk box in the first 4 gears, the gt3 has slightly higher speeds than the R due to the higher rev limit and I haven't read anyone criticise the R for overly long gearing.

I've warmed to it. I used to be critical of it (when I saw it on a Boxster / Cayman) but outside in the flesh on a 991 it looks
fantastic. In fact, 10 mins ago I was behind this Miami Blue GTS Targa and it really did look a great colour. Just needs the right car and the 991 is that.

I have an Agate 991.1 GT3 I've had from new. Really like the combination of the platinum wheels and the ceramic brakes. Looks really stealthy imho. I think you will be very happy.

Going for crayon next time around as I wanted a change so went to see an actual car in the flesh at the local dealer today and think it looks great. Colour very personal but that's all part of the fun.

That panel gap on the bonnet is terrible.

I thought the front axle list would had been more sophisticated than that! Do you have to take it around with you?

There was a Miami Turbo at the 'ring the other week (that went into the barriers but that's another story) and it really didn't look nice imho.

There was a sapphire blue 991GT3 parked next to it and it looked way better, I had intended to get a picture of the two together for this thread but I didn't get the chance.

I got the impression that the Miami car might have looked better with silver wheels and no black bits but I was less than convinced, it just reminded me of a 1970's British Leyland sort of colour. Sorry!

2 questions, is that a UK customer car? Is that a body shop?

Thanks all for the positive comments on the agate colour. Makes me feel a whole lot better.

Agate will look nice and aggressive. What wheel colour are you going for Don?

Yes it is. Another photo below.

It's inside a Porsche Centre.

My wait is almost unbearable now knowing it's build but will not be shipped until September after shutdown.

Agreed, but the wheels are doing no favours here.

I think satin aluminium or black wheels suit just about every colour better.

(Sorry if this car is your new pride and joy, what do I know? I think RSVP911 is a nice bloke.....).

It looks so much better in the metal. The photos don't really do it justice.

Mine arrives October, cannot wait!
