@SamDoe1 and somewhere out there, there are a LOT of kids that are dreaming of a Mustang GT350/500...

 

I am in an open debate with friends arguing the pick of GT3 over a GT500 is obvious since it costs 4 times what GT500 does.

All I can say is I would 10/10 take one GT3 over four GT500's in different colors

 

GT3 over GT500, same here.
GT350, I'd struggle a bit more but probably still go GT3

 

GT3 are for people with fragile egos that need a car to shout “Look at me, I’m a very special boy”.

 

Huh? Care to elaborate? I'm hoping you didn't just come in here to shit on the OP.

 

first, it was a joke (I can elaborate if needed), second, I didn’t realize op has a gt3 I thought he was just talking about Shelby vs gt3 hypothetical ownership. Third, I’ve been on this forum a while, I don’t remember shitting on anyone, wasn’t planning to start. Finally, if my post is offensive, delete it.

 

If I could afford a GT3 I certainly would have got one too lol. It's a very different experience to a GT500.

He has a GT3 lol.

 

There are lots of kids out there dreaming of Audi S5's and Z06 Vette's too

 

1 - All you needed to tell me was that you were joking (Sam pointed out the missing information).

2 - Okay.

3 - If you think I have the capability of remembering everyone's posts, you are sadly mistaken.

4 - No need to be combative. I asked a question; you could have stopped at number 1.

 

Nahhh thats not me. I already know Im a very special boy, my mom tells me daily ☺️

 

The Wagon has an S54 in it 🫶🏻

Apologies, I didn’t intend to be combative, but reading my post again with “numbering” my responses certainly comes across this ways. The bit about deleting my post, I really just meant it as “If you feel my post is offensive, just delete it, it won’t upset me”. Like I said, I meant it as a joke, but if it didn’t come across that way, just remove the post (I’m assuming as a moderator you can do that).

oh and finally, answering your 3rd item in your list; how dare you call yourself a moderator and not remembering all the posts on here. (Joking again)

 

nice cars there, I love wagons! The S54 engine is the one that needed high octane fuel and was only available in Europe or am I thinking of the wrong thing?

LOL! It’s nice to have supportive parents

 

The S54 went into the E46 M3. You may be thinking of the one that went into the E36.

 

Correct on S54 standard in E46 M3 and straight drop in the Wagons same year. The EURO beefy engine USA never got was on the E36 M3

 

Love that color GT3. Congrats!

 

GT3 is such an overpriced VW beetle piece of shit.
I cannot fathom how they can cost that much.
I blame youtube, honestly.

I guess it's cool if you really dislike yourself.
'Grats to OP.

 

Now, this one I can tell is a joke...

 

yup, my bad!

blatant favoritism is what this is!


oh and OP, congrats on the beetle and props for the 3 pedals. For the bucket seats, did you get the L bracket to tilt it back a little?

 

 

Shouldn't I be the one getting the trophy for being the favorite?

 

 

lol he got #2.. [insert emotional damage meme]

 

 

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Issa expensive VAG, you like VAG

Thanks man! The 3 pedals was absolutely a requirement! And yes, I actually sling parts for AP from UK and I am now carrying inventory for their LWB Seat Recliner Brackets. Installing a set in the next few days! It's a must, pretty sure they will sit at the same pitch my Pole Positions did which is comfy AF.

3 pedal needz I can't describe it better than this video does:

Lol #2, that's a low blow

 

@EL BAN Sweet about the brackets, post some pics and your thoughts, I might be interested. Also, do you have those triangle wind flicks by the mirrors, windows down on track causes a lot of buffeting.
Carfection has a lot of great videos but that’s my favorite. Sure, I have some bias but very poetic and eloquent.
The “favorite gear shift” was my favorite part. I personally like the downshift from 5th to 4th. I like the spring helping the lever to the center and then adding the throttle bleep to match the revs completes the experience.

 

Will add pics once installed and give you feedback. I need to source the wind buffers, already felt it a few times when riding windows down. From the Carfection vid it hit me when he said about having a favorite shift which on paddle shifting you really can’t feel. But also the letting go of the steering wheel at 150mph to go to 6th gives you an immediate sense of the speed. So good!

 

Congrats on the new ride. Just beautiful.

 

Thanks!

 

Wow...manual GT3 is absolutely epic. Congratulations!

 

Thanks!!!

 

Already had some fun with it on track. Roebling Road Raceway last Monday

 

Have you been to the FIRM? What part of Florida are you in? I’m planning on going to sebring in November. Hopefully no limp mode this time, although my check engine light came on again the other weekend before the Autocross. It cleared once I started the engine again and managed to run the whole day without a light on…

 

The 992 GT3 wing [with DRS] may be more functional, but aesthetically, I prefer the 991 & 997 wing.

 

I haven't done FIRM before, but been invites a few times so I am surely going to make it out on it next year. Sebring is another I will hit with PCA since they do many events there. I'm on the Space Coast in the Melbourne\Palm Bay area.

I like the 992 wing also, might work with my buddies from AP to develop a 992 style wing for the 991 if there is market for one.

 

Still looks good & a lot more aggressive, but the 991/997 just looks more road & less race.

 

Firm is a decent track to start with, I did a private rental 2 years ago, only a friend of mine with a viper showed up. At the beginning of the year I did a PCA HPDE there, my instructor was great and it was fun, friend of mine had a really bad instructor, he hated it. It’s been a super long time since I was at roebling road so my memory is fuzzy, but I think I preferred the firm. The never ending long turns at roebling got old to me, but at least you have that long straight. The firm doesn’t have as much of a straight and you come onto it from a slower corner.
Sebring is another level, higher speed all around, fast corners, bumps, etc. sides of the car was covered in tire marks. That was a lot of scrubbing, even with ppf and ceramic coating.

As far as the wing, the swan neck still didn’t grow on me. What I like is some folks with the 991 gt3RS take the wing off and leave the little ducktail it has. I thought that looked pretty sharp.

 

Will definitely do FIRM, your feedback is consistent with what I got from friends that its an easy going layout and plenty of fun. Sebring will also be doing, M2C never saw it because its too bumpy and with my wide tires I would have scrubbed everywhere! I left RRR covered in tire marks but it left the track directly to detailed to get stock front PPF off and cover the car 100% so that should help keep clean and spotless.

I agree on the GT3 RS wingless, looks subtle but stylish with the ducktail.

Forgot to show you these installed, its night and day man. Passenger has them and driver doesn’t for reference pics.

That looks so much better for the headrest. What do you think for the leg / knee height, did that swivel it up too much?
How pretty are those sun visors, with the super helpful white and yellow stickers
Beautiful car! Enjoy it! If I get some guys together and we rent the firm I’ll give you a shout.

 

Helped a lot also with helmet on track since you don't feel the headrest pushing helmet forward. Leg\Knee room I don't feel was affected, the lift is about 1", I run with steering wheel collapsed all the way down and clears well.

Dont get me started on the visors its the same shit than all the BMWs I have. I haven't checked if you can do an Euro swap like on BMWs since the European cars don't have the warning label.

Thanks man, definitely hit me up, I can bring my local buddy with his twin car of mine.
