I know the GT3 needs no aftermarket mods, but would RUF happen to have anything in store for the GT3???

Also, can anyone comment on the GT3 out of the box??? For what type of driving is the GT3 tuned for out of the box???

 

I would think Ruf has something in the works if not already, I cant help you out with an opinion because no GT3 yet here but soon, just from reading and what the previous GT3 were known for as great street/track cars out of the box, I have not been in a GT3 yet but I dont anticipate it to be as harsh as the GT2.

 

Very fast driving!!!

BTW, it is not a rough ride either, as some have said after upgrading from their Lincoln's...

 

Ruf does have a GT3 model. Now if its based on the prior GT3 model or the current I could not say...but I have seen info on it on their web site. If I was going to buy a water cooled P-car it would definitely be a new GT3. They are IMO the best water cooled Porsche made.

 

Thanks Rockit

Darn...I was hoping it was tuned for slower drivers like me who love caddy's and my good ole' olds.

Someone have the number to my local Caddy dealer???

Thanks Watt...

How do feel about the suspension setup on your GT3 out of the box??? Have you felt the need to make adjustments??? I know you've gone through many adjustments on your GT2 and have lots of experience dialing in your suspension.

I feel that a lot of people just say, yes, it's ready for fast driving out of the box and don't take the time to adjust for their type of driving style or roads. Knowing you are a daily canyon carver, I'd be very interested in your input.

Big Thanks!!!

Chris

 

gotta break it in... factory set up is usually good enough for me. it sure is nice to have the extra ground clearance vs the gt2; on my roads i can actually drive faster in the gt2 in places where i used to hit.

i will play with bars and toe if i ORR the car

 

Thanks Watt...where did you find your GT3??? I was going to order one up but I don't think I can wait till next year. I might as well snap one up at MSRP if possible.
