Honestly, the videos do not do it justice. It is so crazy the sounds this thing makes now. I had HJS cats, Fabspeed headers and Sharkwerks rear on my 991.2 and it sounded really good at the time. This setup is just insane in comparison, up at 9K it sounds like a 90's V12 F1 car.... kinda lol.

I love these Dundon exhausts. They sound absolutely epic. I could listen to that noise all day.

I’m a huge fan of the GT3. I’ve wanted one for a while. But I realize it’s likely lost on me. I’m not much for a track inspired beast. My sensibilities lie more with a GT type car. Which is why I preferred the turbo s, I suppose.

That said, this car is a few low trf members car. Just received. I went to see him recently to check out his new 765, and to catch up of course. The 765 btw is unreal. Absolutely unreal.

He just got this GT3. To me, by far and away the most attractive example I’ve seen yet. Of course, it’s all subjective. But this color combo is painful for me. That’s how good looking I think it is. Just wow.

It inspired me to wrap the turbo s too. Not this color. I didn’t want to be that guy. But some color that pops with the classic touch. I’ll post when I get it back. For now, feast your eyes on this sucker…

Love the car, I mean who the hell doesn’t haha, but that combo brings heavy Subaru WRX vibes being their classic combo.

Looks like Genetian Blue. Beautiful color. Would be better on a touring in my opinion. I think a winged GT3 needs to be a loud color to match. Skittles colors are best to me for this car.

Subjective for sure.

I’m not into colors that are too loud myself. While I love yellow, and it looks amazing on the gt3, it would not be for me. Blues, greens, blacks, silver, etc. for me every time.

But I get it. And I understand why people like loud colors.

Definitely subjective and why they come in so many colors. So many colors that you can even pick your own if Porsche approves it.

no joke man. soooooo many.

and truly, they all look great. I think the 992 GT3 is the best all around looking 911. but of course I am bit biased to my particular car, which I think is perfect.

perfect, yet still going to wrap it for a little bit of a change up.

I love the PTS options. and it adds so much value to the car it is nuts.

Great Cars & Great Garage!! I see a CLK Black sitting far back there, great little car I logged a lot of miles on a friends, only downside was the trans, but overall a great gt/trackish type vehicle

Brother, that clk black is incredible. It has under 2k miles. Still has the new car smell.

I’d love to get a regular 63 sedan in that era. I love those cars. Coupe and sedan version. Always have.

This member has one of the most epic garages I’ve ever seen. Nicest guy in the world, and a true car guy.

I went with PTS Maritime Blue for my 992 GT3. I think the louder colors work quite well on a winged GT car (especially with all of the contrasting black bits) but the subtle colors like Gentian Blue also work well depending on the rest of the spec. As long as it's cohesive I think most colors can look good!

My current GT4 RS spec that I'm messing around with is Gentian. I'm toying with the idea of trading the GT3 for the 4RS. I'm still torn. I drove the 4RS a couple weeks ago. What a riot of a car. More fun on the street I think.
