GT3 run-in is complete.

After 1500 km of break-in, the 911 GT3 Touring recently completed an oil change at the dealer. The break-in period was ".Do not allow the rpm to exceed 7000 rpm.The husband seemed to have done the same, as he had been instructed to do, but after the break-in period was over, he was finally able to taste the true nature of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

So today I would like to share with you my husband's review of the GT3 Touring, which he recently ran up to 9000 RPM.

Boxster GTS and 911GT3

It has been about two weeks since the GT3 arrived at our house. The GT3 has already been broken in for 1500 km, and it was sent to the dealer for an oil change and initial inspection the other day.

I was in a Boxster GTS during the inspection.Riding the GT3 for the first time in a few days, I can see the difference in direction between the two cars.

Both of them are 'thePorsche (German car brand)There is no doubt that the ride of theThe Boxster handles better in town and behaves better on poor road surfaces.The Boxster is more fun to drive. On small winding roads such as Ashiu Driveway, the Boxster is more fun to drive, as it has just enough power to get around.

After all, GTS is a "Sports car mainly for street use, but can also be enjoyed on the race circuitI think it is positioned as "the

on the other handThe GT3 is a car that "can be driven on the street as well, even though its home is the circuit.I think it is a great car. Although it is directly descended from a racing car, the 911's original characteristics as a grand tourer add a good degree of comfort, and it is only on highways and stages with a relatively high speed range that it is enjoyable to drive.

It's racy and has a greatness that can turn on its fangs at any time, but on the street, it can hide it well.

After owning two cars, I feel many things, but I can say one thing.

'TheThe great thing about Porsche is that you don't feel the lower models fade away just because you drive the higher models.'-' (used in place of '-')

The fact that this is the case.

For many other vehicles, theOnce you have tasted the higher-end model, you may be dissatisfied with the power and ride quality of the lower-end model.but Porsche has less of it. Of course, there are issues of specifications and preferences. However, looking at the performance of the car objectively, it is possible to say that the basic performance is very high, and that this is made possible by the clear characteristics and taste of each grade of the car.

I will try to write a separate article on this area.

Experience GT3 9000 RPM

Let's get back to the story. The GT3 is still in the process of breaking in.Overall suppleness has increased since the car was delivered.The same is true of the suspension, the brakes, and the engine. The most important thing is that the driver has become accustomed to the car. Recently, I have been able to handle the car as I want to, without any sense of tension.

During the break-in period, I limited it to 7000 rpm.When it's time to remove that limitercame.

Shift down and depress the accelerator pedal deeply. Of course, even though the breaking-in process is over, do not operate abruptly, but step on the gas pedal gently.

The exhaust valves open around 4000 rpm, but the volume and sound pressure are still great. Then, 6000 and 7000 rpm pass in a blink of an eye...and this is where the unknown comes in.

The speed of the tachometer needle gains even more momentum as the rpm exceeds 7500 rpm.The higher the rpm, the louder and faster the rpm increases, which is a major difference from the Boxster.

In the case of the Boxster, the sound quality becomes stronger in the upper register and the volume becomes slightly blurred at higher RPMs. It is just like an amateur singing "Do Re Mi Faso Racido," and as the octave is raised continuously, the voice becomes difficult to produce. The speed of the RPM increase also slows down somewhat from around 7,000 RPM.(Although, compared to a regular sports car, it's nothing less than awesome.)

The GT3 exceeds 8000 rpm, and around that point, the Gs are so great that it almost takes my head back.Even when the accelerator is eased a little, it still tries to coast. The speed and sound pressure of the revs are amazing. It does not decline at all. In fact, the needle on the tachometer is going up to 9,000 rpm while the driver hears a loud, pleasant sound that increases even more.

Just before 9000 rpm, the clutch is disengaged and the gearshift is upshifted. The GT3's computer controls the revs and seamlessly transfers torque to the next gear without any significant loss of acceleration.

I can no longer describe it in words like pleasant or pleasurable.In fact, it is even maddening.

The rpms are kept in the mid-range and the car enters the corner with a slight overspeed. Although I had been reserved during the break-in period, I decided to be a little adventurous.

The Pilot's Sport Cup 2 enters the corner as if it were biting the road surface without leaving it. Even under lateral G-forces that would cause a normal car to start slipping and sliding, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 will not let go of the road and will enter the corner as if it were biting.The GT3's steering wheel gives the sensation of cutting into the corner in several stages, and the driver exits the corner with ease.

I later looked at the body control information I had recorded in the Porsche Track Precision app, and while there is a momentary spot of understeer, it is almostNeutral steer remainsIt was.

This is probably not the kind of potential that the GT3 has. I still can't keep up with my skills, and I have to take it to the track to see the GT3's real "ghastlinessI don't think we'll ever know 'What is it?

I will bring the GT3 to the track soon and eventually write a review on the track.

    The break-in for the GT3 is very difficult because it can reach 88 km/h at 6000 rpm in 2nd gear, so there are only a limited number of places where you can step on it. I am currently running 1700 km and enjoying the car at 6000 rpm, so I plan to run 9000 rpm at 3000 km. On weekends, I rush up to the highway to maintain the target RPM, and on weekdays, when I am in the lead and the road ahead is clear, I enjoy acceleration at high RPM 1 or 2 times.

      Thank you for your continued support!
      After about 3,000 km, the engine will probably be accustomed to it and it will look good.
      My husband said it was still 2,000 kilometers.

      >Just as a samurai who has acquired a good sword cannot resist its magical power and is tempted to try it out, so too is the magical power of GT3, which asks you to step on it.
      What a wonderfully accurate description!!! My husband also said that GT3 is "more of the same! I can go further! and it's begging for more!
      I knew the GT3 was a car of a different dimension...

      Somehow, I have a feeling that my husband and I will pass GT3s together somewhere someday (laughs).
      Thank you for your continued support!

I am looking forward to the full throttle acceleration at 9000 rpm.
