04 gt3
Hi,
I was looking at an 04 GT3 and wondering what the owners here think. I have an SC and love the old girl, but I always like to look. I have not been a fan of the 996 but the turbo and GT3's I like. How are they as daily drivers, on track, etc. Any RMS issues? Thanks in advance, Bob James

I think the gt3's are great cars. This has the solid and proven Mezger motor with water cooled heads. I have heard that the vehicles do have RMS leaks when not used. I believe the RMS seal is a low drag deal which uses crankase vacuum in some way to complete the RMS seal. So buy one and drive the crap out of it
 Btw the 996 gt3 may not be as pretty as the 997 but they are lighter, more raw, and have a whole lot less electronic complexity. Since your coming from an SC I bet you will appreciate all of these points. |

The leaky RMS caused by installing the RMS backwards to reduce drag & add 1 horsepower is on the 997 GT3 I am not sure which years, but is not a factor in the 996 GT3. The only negatives I hear on the 996 GT3 are: stiff ride, no PSM & prone to oversteer so I would think coming from a older 911 you would not notice any drawbacks.
