cyrus are you sure it was a porsche GT3 or a turbo or another kitted carrera doing the rounds of the city. if my gut feeling is right and if the car belongs to south bombay then i would have an idea whose car it is.
there is a black turbo in town thats why i asked.

Cyrus43 · 27th August 2007, 17:33

i am definately sure it was a gt3 and it was a dark shade of blue..the black turbo is good i have seen it but this was not just some kit car.

speedy · 27th August 2007, 20:03

ok then i think i know where you can find it. malabar hill, nepeansea road area. if it is a south bombay car. if my haunch is right the same guy owns other beauties also.

If you know what you are looking for the difference between the Carrera and GT3 is very obvious - even if the standard car has a body kit.

1. The GT3 only has two seats.
2. It is only available in Manual (If you can see the interior)
3. The rear bumpers have air intake / outlets
4. The exhaust is in the middle of the car below the number plate

From a distance I guess spotting the exhaust is the easiest check.

I am dying to see it..Love these 911's like crazy.

Cyrus43 · 31st August 2007, 11:35

yea it was almost like this except for the rims..they were black with a chrome lining..and as i said the car was really dark blue..amost midnight blue

speedy · 31st August 2007, 12:56

cyrus the picture was for porky, had designed it according to his request.

these are standard wheels for the GT3 but then the guy must have ordered a different set. have to see the car man. hope someone spots it and posts pictures.

whats different in those pics besides the blackened front lip?

speedy · 31st August 2007, 16:33

akshay1234 there is nothing different then the silver or the yellow porsches with the kits. this is the original GT3 thats all. if you see porky's post and the way he was explaining how to recognise a GT3 as though we were in a porsche showroom and we had never seen one or know how it looks. so i posted pictures and said as per porky's design request. you can match what he said with pictures.

I had a Cayman S for a few weeks - friend gave it to me to drive around for a bit. You might not be believe me but I raced a GT3 (up to about 220 KM) the GT3 was WAY ahead of me, could not get ANYWHERE near him. I felt embarrassed in the Cayman. HOWEVER, when we got to a very long (1km) sweeping right hand on ramp I nailed it without thinking twice and the GT3 backed off big time. Its a REAL sports car and has to be driven as such.

The car for first time Porsche owners is definitely the Cayman (Boxster if you have a full head of hair and your wife ain't ugly )

even if you are a first time porsche owner it is a car at the end of the day. just depends on how much money you have and what you want porky. there is nothing like a start up car it all depends on how well you tame your beast. if i had my way i would have got the turbo i have never owned a porsche before.
