Pictures of my new gt3

Picked her up last Wednesday in south florida at Braman motors, and used the car for the week while i was in miami. They couldn't have made it any easier. They picked me up from the airport and within 5 mins i was in my new car. They even picked it up in miami before i left (Bluetooth wasnt working). They will be shipping the car home to me on monday. All i can say is it is the best car i have ever driven. The raw feel and power of the car is perfect. There can not be a better car out there, it is PERFECT. Just got home, cant wait till she gets here.






Ill post some more pics of the interior when she arrives.

Hey, Sharkster. In the pic where you describe a few 'tweaks' for Laguna Seca prep had me wondering. Does the bypass normally not meet LS sound limits? I'm looking into this mod for a future GT3 purchase and was curious. It's by no means a deal breaker as there are always work-arounds to help comply with the Sound Shack.

Thanks!

LOL, forget bypass, all stock 997.1 GT3, .1RS, .2GT3 and .2RS wont pass sound at laguna seca.

Congrats. I agree with everyone that your Guards Red 997.2 GT3 looks wonderful... the red LED tail lamps, the red brake calipers, even the orange side markers match well with the Guards Red color. Enjoy!

With best regards,

Mooty, agreed and permit me to share my experience on this:

My 10 GT3 has the by-pass and with a simple temporary vacuum line mod done by James at SharkWerks, I ran my car at Laguna during a standard 92db limit day with no problems, WOT past the sound tower etc. Works great, cheap mod, got to love it. Forces exhaust through the side mufflers at all throttle/load settings.

This should work equally well on any 997.1 car. I don't know about the .2 RS, but the fin-heads should know the answer real soon now. Can't imagine why it would not work on that car too. And this mod is proven by a couple of other folks to work equally well even if you don't have the by-pass exhaust.
