Saw your post on Rennlist as well- congrats, enjoy! Now time to check off all of the "new to me GT3" boxes: clear front markers, center bypass, side deletes, Crazy Eddie bolster protectors, change the seat belts to orange if you prefer (I'd be interested in your yellow set).

You are much better off with PDK - I'm not Mark Webber, but I have a lot of gongs from racing various Porsche cars. All 991 cups cars have PDK - there are very good reasons for this e.g. money shifts etc.
Enjoy it, don't baby it, drive it hard - they actually run better if you drive them positively. If you ever get the chance, step into a RS - you'll enjoy it a lot. Also, pay for coaching - with someone that knows GT cars, this will really lift your game. The problem you now face, having owned a Porsche GT car, is nothing else compares. Everything else feels numb in comparison. Obviously these are first world problems, but then again, in my experience you've probably worked very hard for the badge. |

Also if you are comparing engine HP the Porsche has the advantage at the wheels, less drivetrain loss in a rear engine RWD setup than anything else. Stupid fast car regardless. I hope you drive the shit out of it and go through many sets of tires. |

People have put 992s on the dyno and I’ve not seen a single one not significantly higher than factory specs. I’m about 98% certain Andreas P. (forgot how to spell his last name, but father of the GT program) even said on video they lied and underreported HP figures. |
