GT3 Engine - questions!
Discussion
Hi Guys,
In the wake of the fantastic GT3 vs. CSL thread (thanks everyone!)...I've got a couple more questions before I take the plunge and shell out 50k for a Mk1 (craving your indulgence here!)
1. I've read that the GT3 engine is quoted as a non-turbo version of the GT1 motor...what are the major differences between this and a stock 996 motor?
2. 996 engines seem to be very prone to oil leaks (to the point where a (major) main dealer salesman quoted with a smile 'oil leaks are almost obligatory')...is the GT3 motor less prone (and thus more reliable?) Any owners willing to share their experiences out there?
3. How much difference does a lightweight flywheel (as fitted to GT3 RS, CS cars etc.) make in driveability terms? Worth going for?
Thanks in advance...
