Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)
Well guys, just took baby back today...it was a short drive as I had to jump into conf calls but my dealer did a fantastic job
great change in my chassis with new geometrie
the Cargraphic center muffler sounds is incredible
need to do 1000km at max 7000trm
you get a new blue light when engine is too cold
I will have a longer test after the calls

Interesting - I wonder if Porsche believes that the failure was partially due to revving the motor to redline when the oil and internal parts were still cold?

Some people still believe that these cars come with the break in procedure done at the factory and this is so false...

Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)
Whether the engine is broken in or not, revving the engine to high rpm from cold start is no good.
Maybe Porsche should have put in a progressive red line, say limit the engine to 5k rpm when cold, then as the engine warm up, start raising the rev limit until the proper temperature is reached. Something easily done in software.

Why did you change out the muffler? Not happy with the GT3 exhaust sound? Most owners have indicated they love it.
Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)
Yes i did love the former sound but this one is like a Cup one. the car now with new geometry is so responsive that you have to be very very gentle in high speed corner it is a scalpel.
regarding the blue light now, I think it is more from a warranty stand point

Re: OFFICIAL: New 911 GT3 (991)
oh god I am worried now...to be honest the TUV was a joke don't have it...but the smile I have more than offset the risk. then from a CO2 does not changed so not big impact if get caught.

Phil. Its great hearing your updates on the new car keep them coming. We are keen to know what you discover.
Can you tell me if you are using the Solo DL with CAN or OBDII?
