Character

9A2

"Modern 911 heart. No IMS drama (thats 996/997). Reliable, powerful, expensive to service. Porsche at its best."

MA3

"992 GT3/GT3 RS. 9,000 rpm redline. Derived from RSR race engine. No IMS. No bore scoring. Individual throttle bodies. Most exotic production flat-6 ever. Track-ready but street reliable."
