It's taken 3 years, but I can now say I am a proud of owner of a 991.2 GT3. Although I still can't believe it.
I know for alot of us on here, this is just another car, a part of a larger collection, but for me, and I don't care how sad this may sound, is a real achievement.
I've been having a very s
t time the past few months, and I know "we" are privileged compared to most to have the opportunity to get these vehicles, it doesn't make us immune to some of the st people have to deal with.
Sorry to have a deep and meaningful moment on PH, I promise we can all get back to willy waggling now - but I assume I'm not the only one on here who's car means more to them than just 4 wheels.
Congratulations on your achievement and sorry to hear you've had a difficult time recently. It is a fantastic car and I promise you that you're not the only one here that values their achievement and good fortune enormously.

Not a day goes by without me thinking about, reading about and planning my drives this coming year.
Safe to say I think, we are all enthusiasts on here so you're in good company.
It’s been a 3 year mission for me also and the 7 week countdown has began. Roll on

Totally agree with you, I echo your sentiments 100%. We are very privileged indeed. I often find myself wondering down to the garage with a glass of wine and just spend time looking at the bloody thing. Ours was delivered in October, we have managed 3000 miles so far; we are just waiting for the better weather to arrive. These cars are built to be driven, enjoy yours.

EPIC!!! EPIC!!!
OMG the tunnel test is awesome cant wait to get to the alps again in June and September with the circuit days guys on their road tours... I guess Chris, the 4LT engine will sound very similar with it on? Pleased to say as well with it switched off I cant really say there is any difference really, which I think is great, too be honest though it will be the first switch on after firing her up every time I suspect....
Can you confirm the situation on the warranty, my guys said it will almost certainly cause an issue, and we would have to refit the old one if it needed to go in for service etc....Have you any experiences of any issues?
I knew it could be, but to be honest the guys at WilliamsCrawford said it was a complete doddle to fit anyway, just one clamp had to be cut as it wouldn't un-do, but they said the Sharkwerks fitted brilliantly, took them hour and a half, and they were filming it for their social media stuff.
The new tips look awesome as well fills the back cut out perfectly, looks like it has much more authority.
So you like it then Alan.........!OMG the tunnel test is awesome cant wait to get to the alps again in June and September with the circuit days guys on their road tours...

Yes it sounds very similar in the 4.0 and others say it also eliminate a resonance that some cars seem to suffer from with the OE system. The benefit of the switched valves is that even with the Sharkwerks bypass fitted the car sounds very similar to OE with the valves closed, but once the valves are open it allows the full fat GT3 soundtrack to be enjoyed at a much wider RPM range.
Installation is a doddle and once its been fitted if you ever need to put back to standard its even quicker, Sharkwerks have recently made some changes to the pipe and the fitment which was superb is now even better! Glad you approve of the 100mm tips - they fill the cut-out like it should have been from the factory.
Warranty wise is very OPC specific - some take the sensible common sense approach and won't question it under most circumstances. If you had a serious engine or gearbox issue they might suggest the bypass pipe is removed during the claim process and I have known of at least 2 dealers to do this on 991.1 GT3 when replacement engines have been fitted under warranty. Other dealers employ jobs-worths who have no idea of the modification and attempt to claim the whole warranty will be invalid - nonsense and not legally enforceable as the only part that can be voided from the warranty is the part modified and associated components so if a shock absorber were to fail it is 100% unrelated. Like you said, in these cases and with dealers like this its very easy to switch back beforehand to avoid their misplaced attitude!
Go and enjoy the noise!
This is a must have extra, far better, and far cheaper than any deviated stitching or fancy lighting.... Porsche need to add this to their options list IMHO
my first drive today since having sharkwerks fitted last week and is great. Had a couple of drives recently over Dartmoor and sheep were bit of a pain, but should be good day for it tomorrow. Might see if I get the time for a drive out that way as well in case you se a Miami Blue GT3 on your travels!
Did you buy from Exeter?
Had to cancel Bovey Castle till Monday but going Dartmoor anyway!!
yes new car is coming from Exeter as did my Gen 1 car only had it 9 months a chap called Richard owned it before hand from Newton Abbott, who got a car in the first allocation.
Have you got a gen2 car already? and from Exeter, if so did they fit the exhaust for you or did you get a 3rd party to do it, just interested on their feelings for them etc.
right time to warm her up

mine arrived end of September. SCS at Honiton fitted the bypass, as the OPC felt it could compromise them in the future is they did the work.Had to cancel Bovey Castle till Monday but going Dartmoor anyway!!

Enjoy your drive today
Question about the “drone” that someone hears at 70 mph...I discovered today to have a BIG drone from 4000 rpm on, in any gear (didn’t go over 4500 as running in)...interior mirror is vibrating too at those rpms...
I have the Clubsport.
Is it what you hear at 70 mph in lower gears?
Still waiting an answer from Porsche about the rattle on thick over...

The yellow calipers certainly work brilliantly with black .
The brakes are something else. I've come from a 991.2 GTS with steels. I've read alot on here how there isn't any noticeable difference between the steels and the PCCBs - I do wonder if those people have used both. I test drove a 991.1 Turbo S before the GTS, and the PCCBs on that were by far, the most amazing brakes I've ever used. I have now have (I believe?) the same diameter + pot brakes as that, with 300-400kg less weight!

- that's why my GT3 will be black with black alloys and PCCBs
- that's why I've PCCBs on my GTS also and my GT4 before that
Preaching to the converted here.....

Porsche 991.1 Turbo S is 1600kg and new GT3 is from 1413kg for a manual/no clubsport to approx 1450kg for a PDKS/CS, so weight saving is between 187 kg and 150 kg not 300-400 kg.
Sorry to be so pedantic but i hate reading inaccurate info..
I stand corrected, I could've sworn the Turbo S was near 1800KG when optioned up!Sorry to be so pedantic but i hate reading inaccurate info..
