So is ours (port in Rhode Island) however they've delayed the dealer ETA and launch. ZERO idea why. They told us something about West Coast delays or something.

I'll say it again, I pal on being the guy half a lap behind, grinning ear to ear as I oppo through another set of PS Cups.

ditto. Cheers to the guys who can really DRIVE a m/t car around a track.

A GT3 needs a race engine and a race proven transmission, nothing less. Then, some geometry adjustments in the suspension, big brakes, brake cooling ducts, light body panels, light muffler, and a few aero tricks, that makes a GT3.

HI TRAKCAR,

Couldnt agree more..

If one of the two cars shown in the video is 991 GT3..remains to be seen. One is turbo...thats clear.

By the way, I heavily doubt that the 991 GT3 will be a 4.0L 9A1 as mentioned in the pistonheads website. (it will be rather a 3.8 9A1)
