Hehe thanks oldcane... glad you heard Geoff's:P Please tell him I said hello!

 

I have to say, this has pretty much solidified my decision to get this car. It's just stunning. Big congratulations!

Am I crazy for considering it to be my only daily driver? How is the ride quality?

Sorry for the slight hijack.

 

Is there a track/racing reg why the fire extinguisher has to be that big? Reminds me of the ones in my old public school. If not, ditch it, call SafeCraft and get one of their nice ones.
Beautiful car by the way. Best of luck with it.

 

Beautiful car and congrats! GT3 is on my "to do" list.

 

Great meeting you yesterday oldcane. I can tell everyone that the beast looks even better in the flesh - and to think it is the first one in Bahrain and probably the Middle East (maybe).

Glad to see that Porsche have finally come to their senses and installed grills up front to protect the rads as standard. Bummer for people who make the grills though.

In the flesh the fire extinguisher looks even bigger - more like a scud missile painted red.

Get the order in for the Shark bypass. There are currently two white GT3's in Bahrain wearing them and I would prefer that there were more. That way at least we have half a chance of blaming someone else for all the noise at 2am - wasn't me guv, honest!

 

Thanks!

- The car can actually be driven as a daily driver if you want, although you have to keep in mind:- Its a bit low, opt for the Lift option, if you are going to use it daily. You only have to seats, limited luggage capacity. Thats about it, other than those two things drive it like you stole it, its amazing.

-The ride quality in simple terms is stiff, but very reassuring it is well planted and can go into turns with ease and a very big smile across your face. I actually thought it was to stiff, but after you feel how this car turns you will forget about it and enjoy the car.

- The clutch at first seems to be heavy, but for some reason I got used to it, its either I built more muscle, or the first few 100km made the clutch a bit softer.

Just so you would know, I do have another daily driver, but i can't stop myself from going to the gt3 and going even to work in it. Try to aviod rush hours if your not used to a manual car.

Verde:- Yes there is a regulation for the extinguisher, its FIA approved.
but yea I am thinking of just putting it in the garage for awhile.

gt3geoff:- It was nice meeting you too! Thanks for showing me what the car should sound like , can't wait to order mine!

Hard luck though, I am not out at 2a.m in the morning, so i ll just tell them its you

 

Gorgeous pictures!!!! Congratulations again and yes, I think it is the first one in the Middle East. Abu Dhabi or Dubai usually get the first one, but not this time!

 

Thanks Kevin! Our new kit does work with the GT2 seats as shown here on this 08 GT2: http://sharkwerks.com/porsche/997-tu...-upgrades.html

Not at all... They're GREAT daily drivers. Just ask SnowBoarder54... He's got like 30K on his? I can't think of a car that's more fun to drive than a GT3 every day.

Hehe thanks for showing him the ropes Geoff! Send over a couple of pix when you get a chance. I'll add them to the site if you like. The pair of Germans said they were making a right racket at 2am in some small town as well!

Some of the sounds in this video from our car (which at the time was a 3.8 as well) give you a clue
