Porsche 911 GT3, night drive

I had to go for a little GT3 ride the other night, and my husband told me that he had

If you just drive around the neighborhood, you'll be done before the engine warms up, so why don't you go for a few more runs?"

So I decided to take him at his word and let him run a little with GT3.

I thought to myself, "I'm going for a run, but the only place nearby where I can warm up the GT3's engine is Ashiyu..." So I headed for Ashiyu Driveway.

The GT3 has a stiff suspension, so it is not a flattering ride in the city or on normal roads. On the way to the "I'm not sure I'd go all the way to Ashiu if I had to go right back there...I run GT3 with thoughts such as "I'm not sure what I'm doing.

This was my first time driving the GT3 at night, and the atmosphere around the gauges is even cooler than during the day. I took some photos to try and was surprised at the amazing camera performance of my recently replaced iPhone 11pro...

It is totally different from the iPhone 7 I had been using for years.

In the meantime, we arrived at the toll booth of Ashiyu Driveway. Although the temperature was cooler than at the foot of theTry running with the windows fully open to listen to the sound of the engine.I had gotten used to driving the GT3 a little more, so I was not as stiff as before, but I was still a little nervous driving down the Ashiu Driveway at night.

Pashun pashun, being aware of the upshift with the accelerator pedal left depressed.(Paonk... it's hard to describe the sound.)The wind is a little chilly, and it feels better to run with the windows open. The wind is a little chilly, but it feels better to run with the windows open.

Every time we came around a curve, we'd say, "Maybe I braked a little too late... or maybe I should have slowed down more...In reality, however, this is not the case at all, and GT3 can easily navigate curves.

Did you think you couldn't turn at this speed?

And I feel like I'm being laughed at by the GT3. w

I also took the opportunity to pull the engine in second gear, and after 4000 rpm, the valves opened and the sound quality clearly changed. This is truly a racing car.

This is awesome!!! This is tremendous!!!!

In a previous comment on my blog, I wrote, "It's painful 90% of the time you're on it, but the sparkling moments are numbing.I think I know what he means. For this moment, I could endure even if the ride on the remaining 90% of the road was uncomfortable... It really is a car that gives me that much joy and stimulation.

There were few cars that day, and I drove all the way up to the observatory, but I didn't see much performance.It's not safe to go any further.I got scared... "I'm not sure if it's daytime, but it's nighttime, so if I get a little carried away, I'm sure I'll hit somewhere," I thought, and decided to take a few pictures at the observation deck and leave right away anyway.

By the way, the iPhone11pro is amazing. Even if you just take a normal shot, you can capture such a beautiful night view.

Conversation with my husband about GT3 with my husband

When I got home, I told my husband, "Oh no, wow, GT3 is scary awesome!When I spoke with him, my husband had this to say.

That's right.The sound from 4000 rpm is already tremendous.I want to drive the GT3 on a good road because it can't show its performance on a normal road. I can't even use it in Ashiu.
Also, it's fun to drive that high performance car with MT. I think PDK with wings is quite fun, but MT has its own unique fun.
Recently, I have come to know the GT3 so well that I feel that other cars are not good enough for me. Of course, other cars are good and I am impressed every time I drive them, but I can't experience the excitement of GT3.
I've really been on a roll lately.If I were to buy a 911 from now on, I would choose "bare", "GT3 series" or "Turbo S".I'm starting to think that I'm going to have to do something about it.

I met a Porsche owner once.

I have been through a lot of hard times in my life, but I was able to forget about them only while I was driving the Porsche. Because of that time, I think I was able to overcome the hard things I went through.
So.I'm grateful for Porsche and want to keep driving it.

I was very much impressed by what he said.

Right now, the coronavirus is causing a great deal of trouble in various quarters, and the world is facing the biggest crisis of the postwar period, which is not comparable to the bubble economy or the Lehman Shock. Even in such a situation, when I drive my favorite car, it is enough to make me feel positive and motivated to do my best, so I thought again that I would cherish the time I spend with my Porsche once the voluntary restraint on going out is eased.

Good luck!

      Mr. Doll.
      Thank you for saying so!

    I am in love with the GT3 Touring Package.
    I really wanted a new 911 with left hand drive and manual transmission at least once in my life, and I am currently driving a parallel-imported 991 Carrera T. I would like to return to NA or air-cooled one someday. The car was originally registered in Kobe, but due to work, it is usually kept in Tokyo, and it is hard to find a place where I can drive it as much as I want or it is too far away. Please let me know if I can meet you in Ashiari someday.

      >I'm currently driving a parallel-imported 991 Carrera T.
      Wow!!! I see that: !!!!
      A 991 911T manual...my dream car.

      You can't get a left-hand/MT unless it's a parallel import, right?
      I have only found one of these cars on the used car market, and I am looking at it with the hope that one day I will be able to get my hands on one.
      (My husband also watches the official Porsche 911T videos frequently.)
      I see that you have them in Tokyo now.

      Yes, I look forward to seeing you in Ashiu someday!
