Drove 300 miles yesterday on £67 Shell Super.
6th gear, motorway.
Impressive.
 
I heard these 996 & 997 GT3s owing to their lightweight construction were pretty frugal. What mpg figs were you getting?

When i purchased my 997.1 GT3 from Bristol. On the drive back to Southend i was getting 32 mpg averaging 70-80 mph. :thumbs:
 
You have it all wrong gents. I managed to get 8mpg at silverstone on Monday :grin: Now that a figure to be proud of :D

Never bettered 26/27 mpg on any long run. And that's when trying pretty
damned hard...short shifting, coasting where possible...slipstreaming.

The rear wing makes it pretty damn un-aerodynamic !!! :wink:
 
Not to mention the full throttle blasts up to 140 on the E40 when you get bored, the attempts at VMAX on the A1 autobahn & the 196 we managed on the last outing to the fatherland :wink:

:eh!:

GT3s weigh more than their C2 variants.

There's the AWD bodyshell and proper engine out back to thank for that (stick a full cage in and the difference is even more)

The hollow (chocolate) M96 weighs mere (chocolate) buttons compared to the Mezger.

I wasn't going to mention any of that bit....
