I would have been willing to pay you to test drive that car.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm not really sure. The previous owner didn't send it along with the car. It came off either because he took it off or something on the road took it off.
I asked the dealer and it's a $240 part. I'm not really sure I'm going to add it. The car looks pretty good without it.
-Charles
What a dreadful car! Plus its yellow! Oh my!
Charles, that car is amazing, and it looks as good as it drives. Just spectacular. Congrats on one fine ride.
Dayle
Nice car, congrats and enjoy her!!
Now a couple of things a must say. The front lip is almost a must since it reduces lift. If you intend to use the rollbar and 6 point belts, I would add the seats. Without them, the belts could slip and be very dangerous.
Thats to bad.......nice car anyway
You really need to get in on the action and take that thing to the track, it'll blow your mind
The brakes on those cars along with the sound at 7k rpm is intoxicating :
That is a BEAUTIFUL car! I love speed yellow. And I'm pretty sure McDonald's mustard will match those shoulder belts pretty well (at least their ketchup blends nicely on my red ones...)!
Nice car - pity that after all that detailing there's still dirt on the floormats
Nice job. I can imagine that's a blast to drive.... now those pics beat the ones Dell posted when he bought his GT3.
I'm in a feisty mood this evening.
Hey Dayle,
The short shifter in the GT3 is MUCH shorter than the B&M I installed in my previous C2. Not sure why, really. This one often feels like a switch more than a shifter. It took a couple of days to get used to it but now I almost never get stuck in no-man's land between 1st and 3rd or 3rd and 5th.
UCrazyKid,
I really like aluminum pedals in the 996. That section of the car just looks so dark without something there. I've added them to every Porsche I've owned (four now). The bigger throttle pedal does make heel/toe easier. Actually for me, it's more like left side of foot/right side of foot. Ha! ha!
-Charles
Yea, those factory floor mats are going as soon as my Lloyd's show up. I ordered black with "GT3" in Silver. I think that'll set off the yellow quite nicely!
-Charles
Very nice!
It's the same B&M part and the difference is in the gearbox itself.
Now go and get a front lip unless you want to experience something unpleasant at speeds exceeding 80mph
Ciao,
J.
Yellow...yellow...yellow...YUMMY! Sweet P-car! Very nice...
I noticed that you photo-shopped your plate out, why didn't you block out your goofy neighbor squatting in that one pic? Looks like he has a white hat and blue shirt with blue jeans squatting at the back of your car...
Okay...I am scrolling down the images of a beautiful GT3...to get the S..t scared out of me..by a scruffy painter dude!!
......funny that is almost how I normally look like...without the GT3 (but working on it!)
Love the interior (yellow stichting and seatbelt)
you are a lucky man!
Man, you guys got it all wrong. That scrufffy painter dude is the guy he hired to detail his car!
Charles - very nice GT3! GREAT color. Enjoy it to the max!
Nice car and pics, Charles! Love those 997S-ish quad tips with the rolled lips. Do you know whether they can be direct bolt-ons to the stock mufflers for post-'02?
Both the GT2 and the GT3 come from the factory with ~15% throw reduction on the tranny end. The B&M shortens the throw ~30% on the shifter. Combined reduction is ~45%. I removed the B&M from my car as I felt it was to short and took away the joy of rowing through the box.
Ucube,
I'm pretty sure those tips will work with the stock exhaust. It's actually the tips and about 10 inches of pipe. It connects up behind the bumper with a clamp.
The previous owner had Fabspeed MaxFlo mufflers with these Cargraphics tips installed. I have no idea what the car sounded like with stock. It's plenty loud with the Fabspeeds.
-Charles
Charles, we NEED to meet up soon! I am dying to hear those fabspeeds since I really want something other than stock on my car. I could very well do the bypass pipes but my neighbors would HATE me
Thanks everyone for the very kind comments. I'm going to have to say it would have never happened without the help of fellow Rennlister Dayle Pugh. He lives in Houston and quickly volunteered to go over and take a look at the car for me. Not bad at all for someone I've never even met! Ha! ha!
Seriously, though. There are some really great people on this forum.
-Charles
