    The aerodynamics, based on the position of the various vents, look interesting.

    The car must be amazing but the rear spoiler is too much for my taste. Hopefully it will accept slick tires this time

    What about exhaust noise ? louder or extra silencers ? angry

    A bit too optimistic, but it doesn't hurt to dream for a moment

    Got my car after more than a year of waiting. Very happy so far. Compared to my 997.2 Carrera S it feels like a huge leap forward. The speed of the PDK, the responsiveness and the shorter gear ratios makes the car feel so much more alive. I intend to use it as a daily drive and so far it seems up to the job although I must say it would probably not cut it as a daily drive for a non-enthusiast because of firm ride, low ground clearance and limited rearward visibility. To me it feels like an occasion every time I drive it - even if I don't drive it hard. :-)photo.JPG

    That is great to hear.  The concern I've had is whether it's still fun to drive just tooling around town due it being less raw than prior GT3s and lack of a manual.  GT3's have always had the send of occasion so this is great.

    I prefer those more to the other finish options. They look their size and hence more in proportion to the body.

    Though I like the absence of the wing, I'm not sure it's safe.

    This car is not legal, anyway. It is outside any type approval.

    Even if it is not a GT3 but a modified Carrera 4, the use of the front deep spoiler is not approved by Porsche without the rear wing.

    I had a sports front apron installed on the Carrera S and although it is the one with the small front lip and approved without the rear wing, the handling of the car changes.

    There is the lip on the front trunk, so I believe it is indeed a GT3 with the rear wing chopped off.  Interesting comment about how a minor change on the front apron can alter the handling of a car!
