Brilliant! But wasn't there a geared (planetary gear), torque multiplying socket from Porsche? For the CGT?

AGATE is the default choice.
Agate grey. Chrome window trim. Naturally aspirated. Some questionable front end styling touches. More performance than I can handle. A nice launch vehicle.
That sounds like what is sitting on my driveway. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but even if they had a spare one to sell to me, I can't get too excited. (Sour grapes?)

Yes, but it is no longer in production, is extremely expensive, and uses a reaction arm that is placed between the wheel spokes (doesn’t work on all wheels) and still requires someone to sit in the car and hold the brake pedal for front wheels (no e-brake) or use a brace between brake pedal and seat. This thing is better (but requires special Centerlock bolts).
This place sells a tool like the factory CGT tool:

A ducktail would help to resolve the rear view of the Porsche 992 GT3 Touring...
that painted rear looks even fatter

I'm trying to decide between Gentian blue and Iris blue (PTS) for my GT3 Touring order.
Also, I agree that the Neodyme wheels are too saturated and would prefer a "white gold" color ala GT2RS Weissasch alloys.
Here's a shot of Iris blue with "white gold" wheels on a GT2RS from instagram:

I vote for iris.

I'd vote Iris. BTW, I answered your question about Manual tranny rev-matching on Rennlist, but not sure if you saw it there...

Nevermind about auto-rev - I see that you acknowledged it

nberry:This car needs a large brown paper bag to cover it. Tacky Tacky.
Haha. This GT3 looks so great that everyone takes the wing off
The new Lotus feels far more exciting and fresh than this latest version of an inflated sleeping pill in different colors.

Something I forgot to mention - when I was at the 'ring last, there were some guys filming a blue one with Kevin Estre for a piece for Porsche France. They were doing some bits where they going over the features etc, and had the engine running and were revving it with the exhaust setting on/off. I thought it sounded pretty good - better than my (OPF) RS. Maybe they got some better sound out of a revised setup.

KMM:Horrible video, annoying music drowning the engine note. who do they think their audience is?
Correct! What a mess. Know your audience. Almost as bad as f1 in car footage for a long boring straight and just when you want to experience the braking and high speed turn they go to outside cameras every friggin time.
