How To Spec: Porsche 992 GT3

[@jlo6388]

For me, if I’m going to get a loud car, might as well get the loud wing to go with it!

[@jimsteinway695]

Exactly, no wing no GT3. AND the biggest weakness of the GT3 is low torque. You must be in the correct gear at the right speed to use this car correctly ( I’ve had 2 manual GT3s) one mistake even in a little drag race and you’ll get toasted by a M3. SO what fixes that? A PDK. It eliminates the largest weakness of the GT3 and allows you to stay competitive with cars with more torque

In reference to the carbon ceramic brakes, I would like to highlight an important point you forgot to mention: they require to warm up to a certain optimum operating temperature in order to reach peak performance. A tough task for regular street users, yet easily achievable on the track.

I'd have both. The Touring for the road and the standard for the track..If I had to choose between them then I'll take a Touring with a Manual box in Either Gentian Blue with Silver or Neodyme Alloys or Dolomite Silver with Silver alloys..Just the right amount of understated cool.

[@mubblemann]

Surely you'd have a GT3 RS for the track.

[@f9ank431]

That’s pretty pointless TBH (I have a 992 GT3 btw). You don’t need both as the GT3 is drivable everyday, but if you want to have a separate daily surely your would go Turbo S?

What spec are you thinking?

[@trevorparmer5231]

Glad I ran across this page, enjoyed the video very much. My 992 GT3 (winged) arrives 11/26 in the US. Agate, manual, yellow ceramics, black wheels, yellow deviated stitching, belts, and chrono face, black head and tail lights, buckets (bummer no club sport in US), black aluminum interior trim, no upgraded audio, no additional carbon. I’ll track my car 6-10 days a year. Just sharing for info-sake. Thanks.

[@michaelz4357]

You are a lucky sob! Enjoy

[@balboa-capital]

Sounds awesome! Did you just configure it on the Porsche website and finalize it with your dealership? If so, How long did they quote your for wait time and was there a markup?

[@trevorparmer5231]

@@balboa-capital Thanks for the reply. I did spec the car using the configurator and my dealers input. I was on "the list" for about 6-7 months, ended up getting my dealers first (and only to date) 992 GT3, order was locked around August or last year and I took deliver early December last year. I paid MSRP and it was my first Porsche purchase. A friend of mine is getting their second one, also personal spec, and it has been delayed multiple times. He hopes to have it early September this year, also at MSRP and this is his 32nd Porsche.

@@trevorparmer5231 amazing thank you. I'm looking to configure mine soon and was wondering about the allocation and actual pricing. I believe the GT3 and especially the manual will appreciate nicely over 10+ years

Beautifully done Tom. Lots of very useful information here. I'd love to see another of your videos regarding equipping a GT3 Touring.

[@7litres]

Engaging and useful video. Previously, odd colours on GT and RS models, were unpopular new, but years on, they are rare and sought after. If you’re lucky enough to buy one of these cars at list price, I think order what you like, not try and predict future demand. Touring in Silver or Graphite looks like a long term ownership proposition to me. Not sure about the box. Prefer manual, but six speeds might just be too much. I have a 7 litre 427 Cobra and you simply can’t change gear fast enough to extract all the performance.

[@jimsteinway695]

Here’s the truth about the GT3, I’ve had 3 GT3s 2 manual one PDK. ( 996, 997.1, 991.2) The largest weakness of the GT3 is low torque. If you tracking your car which by the way THE PURPOSE of the GT3, and you’re in the incorrect gear there’s not enough torque to pull you out of that mistake. Even in a little drag race, if you’re in one gear too high you’ll get smoked by a M3. The PDK eliminates any mistake in shifting and delivers immediate gratification in driving to correct line. Even if you get to the point where you do one lap perfectly in a whole day shifting wise you’re going to screw up your line because you’re concentrating so much on making the correct shift because of lack of torque. Because you’re slower than other cars especially when you goof up your gear shifts . Sure if you ever get both right it’ll be rewarding, but the PDK is immediately rewarding. But you still need to hit your turning and breaking points. I don’t understand why you’d buy a track purposed car THEN select the slower car. For what? I think it’s just a cover for getting your ass kicked all the time. You can say “well I derive more pleasure being more involved with my car” while getting passed by every M3 corvette and every other car on the track. Use the paddles they’re just as fun. The manual has auto blip etc so you’re really not becoming the greatest heel & toe driver anyway. Buy the faster car! As far as the PCCB Brakes I had them on the first two and refused them on the third. Replacing rotors either through wear or damage, which happens more than Porsche will admit is a huge cost. and it’s a constant worry. Just the stress of tracking and worrying about them isn’t worth $9000 USD. Of Course This guy wants you to, he’ll get more dough. Porsches steel brakes are the best in the world and unless your a factory driver you won’t notice them unless your track has 54 turns per lap. I’ll admit the better drivers will notice the unsprung weight on turn in which he didn’t mention and that’s really the best reason to get them. He’s telling you need them “ because it’s a GT3 “ but then tells you to get the slower manual transmission. Hmmm . The fixed back carbon seats ARE NOT comfortable especially on long drives. The standard 4 way seats are serviceable and are the lightest seat in the line. Then he tells you to get the BOSE system ( it costs more OF COURSE) but the real music IS OUT BACK!!! Don’t waste your money. If you want to put your touch on the car with carbon, stitching colors etc go ahead. It’s probably your dream car. And that’s your choice and if you followed my advice you’ll have $15-$18,000 more to play with. But after 3 GT3s I get the most enjoyment out of this setup: PDK, Standard brakes, Standard 4 way seats, standard stereo. The rest is up to you. Front lift is mandatory. Good luck and good driving!!!

[@CarAudioSecurityUK]

[@dquarks]

Excellent presentation. I know if I was in the market I'd be wanting to deal with Tom. Unfortunately the GT3 has no mention of Heads up display, cooled seats or refitting rear seats.

[@CameronVarnish]

no gt3 buyer on the planet wants any of those options.... sounds like turbo S is the move for you

[@nickgalla-barth6336]

@@CameronVarnish Not true. I enquired about getting a Touring with rear seats....and hold on to your hats......sunroof. It was a 'no'! I think they are missing a trick with the Touring. Instead of just lopping the rear wing off, why don't they create a GT3 for the road, with all the options you may want in a road car?

[@johannesb7013]

@@nickgalla-barth6336 A GT3 is essentially a racecar for the road, the touring package adds just a bit more stealth for the look. Keep in mind that this is a pure drivers car with focus on performance, driving excellence and fun. A sunroof wouldn't make any sense since that adds so much weight and even worse to the top of the car shifting the center of gravity. Rear seats I agree would be cool but again don't seem to fit the theme of the car. In terms of other options you have nearly everything you could want though, modern infotainment, apple carplay, BOSE speakers, AC, heated seats, RGB Interior lights etc.

[@nickgalla-barth6336]

@@johannesb7013 I'm not sure I would notice the weight difference nor the centre of gravity, but I agree, this is the reason they don't offer it, but Porsche are slightly 'having their cake and eating it' by saying this is a pure drivers car, but then jamming it full of speakers and window motors!

[@johannesb7013]

@@nickgalla-barth6336 I agree totally. Of course it's also a business strategy because by that they justify the 911 speedster which is essentially a GT3 convertible. Maybe many wouldn't buy Speedster if the GT3 had a sunroof that offered that "open feel". About all the extras that essentially add weight: You are definitely right, they just realised that basic comfort-extras need to be available for the customers interested in a racecar for the road that costs 200k

I have a tip for you sir. I help presenters and public figures look their best in front of cameras. Just like I suggested to Danilo Romollini @ Christies Real Estate, you should take your huge cell phone out of your pocket when doing these presentations. It not only looks professional but, keeps viewers from being distracted. (Is that a cell phone in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?) That's it! You look very handsome, have a commanding voice and dress well for your demographics so cheers to that. Nice showroom...maybe you need to start wearing suits?

[@Marcus-kw2ed]

Absolutely, I track a GT4 on steels and never ever have they faded after 3x30min of hard driving on track. Brake dust is fixed with a simple wash, and a few people I know who regularly drive their GT-products on track swap their ceramics for steels because of the price.
