    Hi Paolo! Welcome.

    Stupid question: what car did you have before your ordered the GT3? Since you are disappointed that you couldn't order BOSE, it may be the wrong car for you.
    Don't forget: the GT3 has no PSM (ESP), just TC (traction control). It is not a forgiving car at the limit.



    Yes I know it has not the PSM: it's an important optional, but the GT3 is a safe car (if you know how to drive it).

    This is my actual car: BMW 330Ci.
    I like tuning and I modified it like a race car.




    I can't buy Porsche Turbo because I only like rear wheel drve cars!
    I will drive the GT3 sometimes on tracks, but most of time on the roads; that's why I want some comfortable optional.

    Hope that the rear spoiler of the 997 GT3 will be enough for you and you'll not go for any tuning on her....

    Sorry. Don't get it. Why take a perfectly good GT3 and turn the poor thing into a monster?

    Modifiying a GT3 is completely unnessesary!! if you want to modify your 911, buy a stock c2 and go to town. The GT3 is already the modified version on a 911, and should be driven the way it is. Plus if you were to modify a car like that i wonder how warranty would be effected? Don't get me wrong the Gemballa kit isn't bad, but for the GT3? With all respect, I completely disagree!

    Especially since Porsche has spent so much time and effort to make it aerodynamics perfect. Why spend a ton of money to undo all that work?

    The Gemballa kit respects the Porsche design philosophy, infact is very similar to the Carrera GT exterior. That's why I like it. It has not a vulgar appearance imho.

    It's your car. Enjoy tuning it to make it what you want it to be.

    Don't worry too much about the Bose. There are plenty of other good sound systems out there.

    GT3 is RWD and PSM is NOT available. Traction control (TC), not PSM, is available on the 997 GT3, as it was on the Carrera GT.
