In that article, my husband mentioned, When I started driving the GT3, its incredible performance made me think, ‘Maybe...
GT3’s Front Axle Lift System The other day, I received this question on the blog. I’ve ordered the new Porsche GT3. Should I add the front lift option? It’s expensive, so I’m thinking of skipping it and spending on other options instead, but is it really tough to go without it? That was the question. The GT3’s front lift refers to the optional Front Axle Lift System. Because the GT3 sits low, there’s a risk...
Test Driven: Porsche 911 GT3 991 Late Model Recently, thanks to the kindness of a blog reader, I had the opportunity to test drive a Porsche 911 GT3 (991 late model) Club Sport Package with a manual transmission.

Plus, with its Crayon body color, it gave off the impression of a “grown-up GT3.” My husband took this GT3...

Several months have passed since then, and while my husband drives all our cars regularly, recently he’s been saying things like this:...
