Performancestrong consensus
And holy it is making a ton more power. Especially when you get right over 5K cuz the mid-range torque is a little lacking. 12:28 Jubbal & Cars
The performance here is nuts. 8:27 TheTopher
there's so much pull at the top end 450 wheel horsepower is probably about close to 100 wheel horsepower more than the stock .1 GT3 14:30 Zygrene
Handlingstrong consensus
it makes the car feel so razor edged not in a scary way but more in line with just how insane this engine is 14:08 Zygrene
getting much more texture through the chassis and through the steering wheel. This feels like a far more connected experience. 13:46 Jubbal & Cars
Steering feel, it's just fantastic. 6:12 TheTopher
Fun to drivestrong consensus
My god, this is like the 997.1 turned up the dial by like five. 14:44 Jubbal & Cars
one of the most raw, engaging, and visceral driving experiences along with one of the best sounding engines you can buy. 0:17 TheTopher

Daily drivabilitysplit
it's not as harsh as I feel like car reviewers made it out to feel or sound or or be back in the day. This is still a pretty compliant car. It's comfortable. 6:37 TheTopher
there's really very little mid-range torque you really got to rev it above five 20:59 Zygrene
the owner has been having some limp mode issues where beginning this morning he's had to reset it a few times. 11:21 Jubbal & Cars
Valuesplit
I don't think it's really worth it that's just me being as objective as possible 15:16 Zygrene
No, you're not going to lose money on one of these cars. That's the thing is price of entry is high, but yeah, when you get out of it, you'll you'll be okay. 18:59 TheTopher
modifying your car is not going to make sense financially. 20:36 Jubbal & Cars
