Don't worry about oil level being too low leading to oil starvation as there is a warning indicator which comes on to tell you to add oil. That issue has been addressed on day one as all 911s comes with dry sump lubrication engines that prevents oil starvation since the separate oil tank reservoir holds the oil (at least 9 qts of 13 qts for entire system). In fact the measurement is done with the car on level ground with engine idling and it is warned not to overfill as that could lead to engine damage !
Yup, correct, I am just saying that the owners need to be mindful of this, and always be aware of the warning light on the dash. In fact, I just had the low level oil light pop up last week, and I added 500ml of engine oil.
not sure if porsche will do this but for helper spring noise you can add bearings between the springs to avoid binding on the helper spring. there are also teflon “washers” that can be used instead of the bearings. they perform the same job of limiting binding between the springs. not an uncommon part to use on high performance dampers.
Oh I see, I might pass this information to the dealership, they are working on it to try to resolve this issue. Have you had similar issues with yours?
I think there’s a way to remove that headrest on that type of seat. I remember watching a video about that and I believe when you’re wearing a helmet, it will fit perfectly once you remove that headrest.
I will probably keep it for a long time to come, I can't think of any other sportscars that I want to replace the GT3 with. This and the Exige, I will keep for a long time 😀
@@sundaymorningdrives yes, replied previously with link, but looks like it was deleted. Just search for Carbon bucket seat brackets and you will find them. I went for ones that just lift the front, as easy to fit.
Very precise and top of notch video. Would you recommend having that cage? I am thinking if I have to go one with a cage or not. Let me know your thoughts on this
@spielberg_steve Definitely with the cage in my opinion, just makes the car feel more special and increases the rigidity. But the downside of the cage is that you hear all the weird sounds transmitted from the rear suspension through the cage, and you also loose the storage space at the back. When are you getting yours?
@@sundaymorningdrives Is the cage connected to suspension? and will that make the car drive stiff in regular street road? I've been looking various specs.. the downside is all the cars are above MSRP, and I don't know how to optimize my search though
@spielberg_steve the cage is fixed to the top of the rear suspension Strut tower, so it transmits rear suspension noises. If you are mostly doing road driving, cruising, and road trips, them maybe you should get a car without the cage
@@sundaymorningdrives You did a great job specking it out. gt3 is the ultimate drivers car. First time I see the bucket seat and I must say I was impressed. Actually looked comfortable and love the fact you can adjust the height. Enjoy it

Mostly backroads but also tracks. Attended the Porsche Track Experience entry levels in Leipzig did Dijon and look forward to Spa franchorchamps. I need also to get familiar with the Track Precision App 😊
Mine came with a JCR exhaust then the valve button does something, i daily & track mine and love listening to music...i wish there was an even higher spec audio system
I've had mine a year now and agree with many of your points. 15k km daily driving. I'm on 18 way seats and wish they had memory position. The space between the door and seat is a bit narrow to fiddle every time so I'm not scuffing the leather. My minor gripe other than the lack of memory seats is the fact it throws a lot of stones at itself. Ppf is a must.

Great video, I've been looking forward to this one! A very honest appraisal, (very minor) warts and all. I bet that zing/rattle drives you mad but I think it's pretty cool! Only a car with helper springs and rollcage is going to do that!!! Haha! That must make that the coolest rattle ever ;) Just looking at how good this car looks, knowing how amazing it sounds and believing what I've read about it's handling, this is about as good as it gets. Make sure those niggles don't degrade the joy of owning this car. I don't even like black cars abut this one....
Haha, thanks Sam! Hopefully the dealership will be able to sort out that rattle, but seems like it's a common issue with helper springs. It is truly an amazing car, don't want to get out of it once you get in, just want to keep driving no matter whether you are just cruising or pushing it hard. When are you coming up for a drive?

Yeah received my July23 build Touring from Giltrap in Nov23; LOVE IT@@sundaymorningdrives
Nice review. You can actually buy small brackets online which increase the seats incline which is much better.

@dorsehick3034 oh nice! That's a weapon, you do a lot of trackdays?

Would this be a car you keep forever or would you sell it for something else?

I watched when you picked up your car and can't believe it's already been a year. Seems like just yesterday!
Hahaha, really? Thanks for the support! Yes, time flies, I can't believe I have already done over 7000km in it either
I fitted a bracket to the fixed bucket to recline it slightly. Much nicer, particularly when wearing a helmet, as head not pushed forward so much.
