A few days ago, a blog reader kindly allowed me to test drive a Porsche 911 GT3 (991 late model) with the Clubsport package, MT.991 Late model GT3 Touring (MT)is in my home and991 early model (PDK), ,991 Late model (PDK)I have had the opportunity to test drive a number of models, and each time I realize how different the same model can be depending on options, specifications, mileage, and other factors.
The 911 GT3 Clubsport package MT that I drove the other day came with normal brakes and a roll cage, the only difference being the transmission from the late model 911 (PDK) that I drove before, but I would like to write about our impressions. I would like to write about our couple's impressions.
The GT3 we were allowed to test drive this time had a milder ride at low speeds than our GT3 Touring. I was allowed to sit in the passenger seat at first, but as soon as we started driving, I immediately felt the "Mild!The couple even talked about it together.
Our GT3 picks up uneven road surfaces and conveys more of a knack for it, but it is milder and seems a little closer to the 992's bare-bones ride quality. In this regard, my husband
alsoI don't have a PCCB on me.I don't know. But, I think PCCB has a stronger feeling of sticking to the road surface at higher speeds. So I think PCCB is more comfortable at high speeds.
Recently, after comparing various PCCBs and regular brakes (cast iron brakes), I have been able to sort out the differences better than before. In a nutshell, the differences arePCCB looks like a tire with higher air pressureAnd normal brakes are like having low-pressure tires. I think this is the best way to describe it.
The PCCB is light, but still has a steady feel at very low speeds, and is super stable and great to ride at higher speeds. The standard brake is quiet at low speeds and has a mellow ride.

I was able to sit in the sport bucket seats this time.The hold and sitting comfort was very good.The sports bucket seats are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP/CFRP) for the seat shell, which is also said to provide outstanding lateral support, and I felt that this was indeed true.
In the pastRide comfort changes with the seat.I wrote an article about this, but I wonder if the seat also affects the comfort of the low-speed ride.
While the sport bucket seats are comfortable and have a cool design.Unfortunately, it was not suitable for me, a woman.I sat in the driver's seat and tried to adjust the seat, but I could not adjust it up or down, and even with the seat in the very front, I could not get the clutch to go all the way in.
Maybe it's just my short legs... (I'm just under 160cm tall) so I couldn't drive it as if I were driving my family's GT3.
My husband is a
For sport bucket seats, theMaybe there should be a cushion for women to drive.In the case of PDK, it may not be that much, but if you need to step on the clutch in MT, it is absolutely necessary.
Incidentally, a very similar name and shapeIn the case of the "Full Bucket Seat" (commonly known as the 918 seat), the height can also be adjusted.I think full bucket seats would be better for shorter people from
He said.
Also, these seats are deeply sunken, so if you have a woman in a skirt, for example, it is very difficult to get in and out, so I think they are not suitable for a date (laughs).
This GT3 had a roll cage, but my husband said, "It still feels chunky!I was surprised at the stability of the car. Indeed, I also felt that the car seemed to turn more stably when going around curves.
not yet (with negative verb)The mileage is 2000km, so the muffler is not burnt out.Perhaps this was due to the fact that the engine sound was more powerful than that of our GT3. Also, normally, the valves on a late 991 GT3 only open after 4000 rpm, but on this car, the valves were set to open from the beginning with a single remote control switch.
So it was great to hear that GT3 racing engine sound from the low speed, low rpm stage.
By the way, my husband got a ride on this GT3.
Compared to the GT3 Touring, this could be an individual difference.Overall, this car is quieter, including mechanical noise.The exhaust sound of the muffler, especially after 4000 rpm, was a bit subdued. Also, the exhaust sound from the muffler, especially after 4000 rpm, seemed a bit subdued. This may be due to the difference in the way the sound enters the cabin between the Touring Package and the Clubsport Package, with or without the roll cage. Also, the GT3 engine is amazing. I was again in love with the way it turns.
I wonder if there are many people in the world who have driven and compared such different specifications of GT3 alone (laughs).
After all these rides, if I had to buy another GT3, I'd say, for now.I would buy a combination of PCCB and PDK with the Clubsport package.I wonder. Well, it depends on what you use it for.
He said.
I am very happy to be able to drive the MT GT3 this time and to be able to say, "I'm very happy to be here.It's fun to drive a MT car that you can control yourself.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.
If you get on PDK, you'll see that "High performance GT3s better PDK!and if you get on the MT, you can say, "I'm not going toMT is fun after all!and what he says changes 180 degrees every time....
But so much so that I realized once again that both have different attractions and both are wonderful and enjoyable.
The owner is going to part ways with this GT3 soon, and we are glad that we were able to let him ride here at the last moment. Thank you so much for letting us ride your precious car!
We would be happy to let you drive our next car to be delivered to you (laughs).
