Thanks for review. My build locks shortly. I'm tempted by 3rd gen PCCB's - have you driven them on latest turbo? Any comparison comments? I was very impressed with 3rd gen BMW CCBs recently.
I have a dedicated track car, so time on circuit will be limited for the 991.
Congrats. Car looks great!

Some Shots - Amazingly warm day in New York City - shot north - Awesome automobile - Ride is NOT much more firm than the 50th Anniversary (which is a C2S really) - turn in is quick and feels a bit more planted than the 50th, and that rear steer at speed gets you to the apex more quickly :-) . Engine pulls from 1500 rpm in 7th gear - a well integrated car from engine to PDK to suspension - More stable than my 4.0 - nice engine noise (in addition to exhaust note) - some good mechanical noise rather than the more insulated 50th ( and turbo). Brakes (I do the Steels) are firm and light - and the steering almost feels mechanical (almost).
Keep the reviews and observations coming. They're appreciated.

Very very nice. Congrats. I love the gauges in RED. Well done!!
Now, we've got to see it cleaned with many more photos in its own thread!!

They also say that Pdk is shared yet the way it's mounted is different and I'm sure many parts, tuning and programming as well..

Awesome collection of cars and thanks for the pics. Any pics of the new gt3 with the 4.0? Also if you could post some interior pics of the 991 gt3 that would be great. The wheels on the 991 gt3 looks great and are one of the nicest oem wheels I have ever seen.

But.... Speedhunters (6speedonline has mentioned them a bit over time) - in particular Elizabeth White and her colleagues - did a shoot of a few of my rides :-) http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/10/...w-york-minute/
She also INSTAgrams some of my stuff (a lot ....) @itswhitenoise
Elizabeth is doing a more in depth story on the old and new shortly so.....
