Addictive sound ....
Last weekend i had the opportunity to travel along with a friend and his 911 GT3 RS 3.8 ... an atmospheric 3800cc flat six with 470 hp on the bench ... .
I almost like everything about this car ... it would be the perfect successor to my Clio RS ;-) ... does it need to be that fast ? No !!! I'm more than happy with 200 hp in a relatively light car ... but once in a while an overload of horsepower makes your heart beat faster !
On the last picture you can see the ultimate version, the 4 litre with supposedly 500 hp ... but since my friend's 3.8 already develops 470 instead of the mentioned 450 hp ... i guess the 4.0 easily surpasses the magic 500 hp mark
...prices of these modern classics are going up quickly, so anyone who's interested to pick up one (secondhand only off course) better hurry up !
Cheers,
Bim

Oh the GT3
One of my nabours has an older GT3 as his second car (the first being the Cayenne. His 996 only has 360HP, but what a sound :-) Take care on the road Hans
Well ....
This GT3 RS has 450 (470 bench) ... but i really would not mind the 996 GT3. Did you ever get the chance to have a passenger ride ? Don't hesitate, it's quite addictive :-) Filip
I know this race track very well! :)
Nice sound. Still, I prefer the sound of the older versions with the detonation of the carburators. ;) Best, Nicolas
P1800
And 205 XS :-) Doesnt it have a more irregular tonation ? I recently tested an old carbu Monste 900 and that sounded pretty different from the later fuel injected ones. I would say raw, but my Clio does also sound raw but in another way, hard to describe ...
Hahahaha !!!!!
I was convinced it had a (or more) carburetors ! I want to add another vehicle, my Bimota YB9 with the four in line 600 cc Yamaha engine ... my friend did some serious changes to the carbs and also fitted 4 separate K&N filters .... the sound the air-...
But they catch fire!
Beautiful car, when they don't self immolate. Too expensive, and too red hot (literally) for me. The 991 models seem to catch fire even when sitting in a parking garage. Here in California, prices have skyrocketed past the what I think its worth level.
Hahaha !
Hi Patrick, i was browsing thru my popsts and found out i hadn't left a reply :-) Well, the 991 has/had some issues with the risk of catching fire and several did soo. Porsche solved that matter, the way how they did that is another story ;-) . I would pr...
I haven't really driven any of them...
I haven't driven any of the GT3 vehicles extensively. But I think I would like the 991 GT3 with PDK very much. But here in the US, the price is $140,000 (which is better than in some other countries, but still a lot of money) and the waiting list is sever...
