Regarding GT3

The 911GT3 (991.2) has already driven about 6,000 km since it was delivered. Listening to my husband's comments, it seems that he feels a lot more about the GT3 now than he did right after taking delivery of the car. So, I decided to summarize what my husband has been saying about the GT3 recently.

Similar to 73 Carrera.

I recently wrote an article about how my husband was allowed to drive a 73 Carrera for a friend of his.

Finally drive the legendary 911, the 73 Carrera! It's now an important cultural asset in the Porsche world, nay, a world heritage!

He told me that right after he drove this 73 Carrera, he drove his GT3 and found it to be very similar, and when I asked him what was so similar between a car that was built over 40 years ago and one that is so modern, he said, "I don't know, it's just the same thing.

I guess it's the handling. I also thought the engine sound was very similar to the GT3 when the exhaust valves opened. I guess I wouldn't have been able to tell that much if I drove each car on a different day.I drove a GT3 on the exact same road right after I drove a 73 Carrera, so I knew even more.I think it is a good idea.
I couldn't help but think of one person who said, 'Wow, that's amazing! They look so much the same!I was yelling, 'I'm not going to do it!
It's hard to tell what this "same" means, but...It feels like the lightness and quickness of the 73 Carrera has been realized directly with modern technology.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.
This is just an analogy for my own feeling, but I would say that it is like when you enlarge a photo on a computer.
For example, the aspect ratio of a photo is not changed, but it is enlarged as it is. So, technically speaking, the size is different, but the subject of the photo is the same. That's how I feel.
The ancestor of this GT3 was the 73 Carrera, and I could see that the roots of driving are here. So.I feel the GT3 is a lot more interesting when I know the 73 Carrera and drive the GT3.Since then, I've been enjoying the winding roads of GT3.

About the ride quality of the 911 GT3

The ride quality of the GT3 is still not very good at low speeds. The suspension is hard and easily picks up uneven road surfaces, making it very bumpy when driving on rough surfaces.

However, when driving on the highway, the ride is completely different, very smooth, and much more comfortable. The ride is surprisingly comfortable, with a sense of ground contact, rigidity, stability, etc. It is hard to believe that this is a racing car. It is hard to believe that this is a racing car. So, my husband decided to buy a

If you're going to drive in GT3, choose a road where you can go some speed.It is important to keep in mind that the suspension must be firm. The suspension is firm, but it is RR and the front spring rate, which is easily affected by ride quality, is not that firm. I think that the short stroke is the main reason for the low-speed ride quality.
It's the worst at low speeds and where the road is rough. It shakes me up. On the other hand, it's not as bad as it is from the stiffness of the spring rate and bushings.I don't feel the impact of the gusto at all.Anyway. Anyway.Not good at low speeds where the road surface is uneven and undulating.I'm not sure. But this, too, becomes less of a concern as the speed increases, as the unevenness is flattened out. I would say 80km/h or more. So I prefer to drive on roads with relatively little traffic, even if they are ordinary roads rather than highways, so that I can drive on a stretch of road with less traffic.

If you're going touring, do your homework!

Last weekend, my husband went for a drive along the Koya Ryujin Skyline with his GT3. There were many family cars of tourists around, and when he looked at the speedometer, he saw that they were following the family cars at 35km/h all the time, just like a trolley train (laugh).

It is very tiring to drive GT3 at low speed for a long time. With the Boxster, even at low speeds, I can open the roof and enjoy driving while having a change of pace, but the GT3 is not comfortable to drive at low speeds and the roof does not open, so it was hard to drive in that situation for a long time.
From now on.Weekdays if you want to go running with GT3.I would prefer to go only to places where I can run comfortably, or in the case of a weekend, I would prefer to plan very carefully and go only to places where I can run comfortably. In the vicinity, I'd say Okayama'sMimasaka Yamanami KaidoI think I'd like to see a "Happiness" or something like that.

Neck fatigue & fuel consumption at continued low speeds.

The other day, my husband went for a run to the Koya Ryujin Skyline and drove about 450 km that day alone.My neck gets tired after a lot of low speed driving in GT3.He said.

I guess I'm subconsciously trying to keep my neck straight because every time I pick up an uneven or undulating road surface, it yips. My neck is stiff. I've never had this happen if I had a Boxster or a 964. Well, I don't think there are many people who drive this much in a day with GT3.

He said, if you drive a GT3, does that mean you should train your neck like a racer on a regular basis (laughs)?

Incidentally, he says that recently the fuel consumption seems to be better than before and that maybe the engine is getting accustomed to it. For example, on this one-day touring trip, the fuel consumption was 10.6/100 km, which is approximately9.4km/L, an average of just under 1 km/L better than when the new car was freshly put down, according to the company.

I get approached quite a bit.

This may be because the color "crayon" is unusual rather than because it is a GT3, but when I parked my car in the parking lot, I heard, "This color crayon, right! Is it a GT3 without the wings? I was told that I am often approached by people who say things like, "This is a crayon, isn't it? The other day, I was also asked by

When I pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car, he said, "This is Crayon's GT3! I want one so bad! We talked for a while. Everyone knows so much.

He said, "I'm not a 911. Indeed, the atmosphere of the car is different from that of a 911, and it looks like a GT3 but has no wings, which may make it easier to be approached by people because of its rarity.

Surprisingly, it doesn't scrub down.

My husband said to GT3, "Front axle lift systemThe front of the car is attached with a "+" and when the button is pressed, the front is said to be raised 30 mm. This allows theEven if you are not that nervous about bumps and slopes in convenience stores, you won't scrape at all.Yes. My husband is.

Before I bought it, I thought I would have to drive with a lot of fear every time there was a bump or hill, but thanks to this option, I don't have to worry about it. I can use it on a daily basis!

He said.

GT3, see fold.

I don't think I have driven the GT3 for more than 50 km yet, but when I went to Fuji Speedway the other day, I was allowed to drive it for a little bit, and I was able to drive it normally with much less fear than I had felt before.
