In fact, if I was very wealthy, I might ask centre of gravity guys to change the suspension on my GT3 to that of say a standard GTS (non lowered) particularly if I was not going to track it much…
Or that engine in a boxster?
Well the Boxster GTS uses the 3.0 flat six bored out and minus the turbos - the GT3 engine is a completely different architecture altogether and is bespoke ground up.
It’s a 4.0L engine in the latest boxster GTS, same engine as the spyder I believe.

Definitely 4.0l but it’s the 3.0 bored out to 4.0
Minus the turbos. - GT3 engine also 4.0l but different engine.
I read about it on Rennlist where they quoted the different architecture and what the codes are for the different blocks, but I’m not technical enough to understand it all… 😂

The 992 looks great, my old car was only a 991.2 GT3, the 3RS should be better than my old 991.2 GT3RS by a long way (if I'm lucky)

You have a 992 GT3RS coming then? Looks like they take performance to a completely different level - in hands more competent than mine anyway

Not guaranteed but I have my fingers crossed :)

Fingers crossed for you on that one. I had a close nose round one yesterday. It's incredibly wide, and the aero detailing to the rear of each wheel is really quite something
