A confession about my Porsche 911 GT3 991.2 ...
Eh ~. here. It is a sudden shock confession. What is it? That, "I have something to confess" ... yes, I have to say ...
I thought I had to write it all the time, but I couldn't write it yet because there was an announcement of the latest Porsche 911 and there were too many other things I wanted to write.
So, finally, I will write it. About a little "impossible processing" that I gave to my Porsche 911 GT3 late 991 model ^ ^
Porsche GT3 owners, or other Porsche 911 owners, may say "Huh ?!". But. That is right. As the title says, my GT3 is "I'm removing the diffuser"! !! !!
fart?
What?
Many people thought that ...? Isn't it (laughs)? Not really? No, but I don't think there are many people who have removed the Porsche GT3 diffuser.
Porsche GT3 991.2 diffuser has 4 protrusions downward
By the way, the diffuser of Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2) looks like this ↓ It may be a little dark and hard to see, but quite a few lines are protruding downward to a low position.
Can you see the protruding part in the place surrounded by the yellow frame ↓?
Looking from the bottom of the car, it looks like this ↓ (I think you can see the muffler on the left side, so can you understand the positional relationship somehow)
Porsche GT3 991 late model diffuser ground clearance is about 8 cm
This Porsche GT3 late 991 diffuser. When I actually measure the part that protrudes downward, it is about 8 cm from the ground. In other words, considering only this part, the ground clearance is 8 cm. It's 8 cm!
And. The parking lot at my home is parked in the back like this ... ↓
When I stopped at the end, there was something like a "chock" that looked blue, and when I hit it, the diffuser would definitely hit. It feels like the rightmost part will hit.
Therefore, I approached the left side of the parking lot and managed to get the diffuser out of the way with this 2 cm grace.
However, in order to make this 2 cm grace, the left side of the car must be parked at the very limit of the parking lot frame, saying "I'm not rubbing the foil anymore", so there is a risk there too ...
Porsche GT3 is a series of people who hit the diffuser from the late 991 model
According to the story, it seems that the number of owners who hit the diffuser anyway from the late 991 model of GT3 has increased dramatically (I will explain later, but the reason why such a diffuser was attached is from the late 991 model), If you're in that situation, it's extremely dangerous to be in this state at the home parking lot I use every day.
Of course, it's too scary outside. Given this lowness, I'm going to ruin the diffuser really quickly (and many times) ... Then, 150,000 courses each time? It will be something like ... Uuu.
Porsche GT3 diffuser removal
so. A few days after the GT3 was delivered, "Take the diffuser!", He made a remark that the Porsche GT3 owner couldn't even be upwind (laughs).
This diffuser ...
Ah, this is the end. Goodbye, my Porsche GT3 diffuser. I had you remove it at the Porsche Center.
Oh oh. It was removed ↓ If you look only at the removed diffuser, you don't know what it is (laughs).
That's right! !! This is the Porsche GT3 with the diffuser removed ↓
It feels like a lot of things are bare, but I think it's okay to hit the bare area unless you do something awful, so I'd rather lose the diffuser. We have decided that it will lead to various risk aversion.
After removing the diffuser, even when parking in the parking lot at home, even if you park it in the middle of the parking lot, the diffuser will not hit, so you can park with confidence anyway ↓
Do you understand? There is no protrusion (diffuser) that hits the blue part. How refreshing! This is the best. Speaking of this sense of security.
Porsche GT3 991 late model diffuser, even if you remove it, you can not tell from the appearance at first glance!
and. The big point is that this diffuser "even if you remove it, you can't tell at first glance."
If the diffuser is a type of design that can be seen perfectly from the outside, not only the difference in performance but also the design will be a problem if it is removed, but in the case of Porsche GT3, the car can be properly seen from below. Unless you look into it, you can't tell at a glance whether it has a diffuser or not.
Actually, it's been about two months since the car was delivered, but during the last two months, 0 people who saw the car noticed, "Are you sure you don't have a diffuser?" It is a person. Even I usually forget that I have removed the diffuser, so the natural appearance is the same as the "Porsche GT3".
Here, GT3 after removing ↓
Certainly, after researching and striving to improve the driving performance of GT3, Porsche finally decided to remove this diffuser, "Diffuser which is the result of Porsche's efforts", which was attached from the late 991 model. Of course there was resistance.
However, no matter how fast I drive on the highway, I can't drive enough to make a difference in performance with or without this diffuser, and I don't drive on a circuit.
If so, I came to the conclusion that if there is a risk of ruining the diffuser many times at home, in a parking lot in the city, or on the road, I came to the conclusion that it is better to avoid that risk and took the plunge.
Porsche GT3 991 Early model diffuser?
Why did the number of owners hitting the diffuser increased from the late 991 model of GT3? That is right. This diffuser was introduced in the late 991 model, and the GT3 early 991 model does not have such a diffuser! !!
Here is a picture of the position where the diffuser of GT3 991.1 is located ↓ Only the cover like this. If this is the case, there is no way to hit it.
Porsche GT3 RS 991 Early model diffuser?
Moreover. The other day, I encountered Mr. 991.1 of Porsche GT3 RS, and I was also interested in this diffuser ...
Since it is a GT3RS, it must have a great diffuser ...
Yeah? Yes? No? Cover only? picture? !! Is this person also removed? ?? ??
I was wondering, and when I checked it later, the GT3 RS had only a cover like this in 991.1, and there was no such thing as a diffuser for GT3 991.2! !!
Indeed, until the early 991 model of both GT3 RS and GT3, there was no protruding diffuser like the late 991 GT3, so there was no one to hit. I'm really convinced.
My GT3 who has removed the diffuser. It didn't change before I saw it, the performance didn't change as much as I ran, and it became easier to park in the parking lot.
I'm sure some of you might think, "I'm gonna take the diffuser!", But I'm very satisfied. I think that it is because of this processing that I usually enjoy riding the GT3 even in the city.
If you see a white Porsche GT3 991 late model in Tokyo, please take a look from below. Without the diffuser, it would be my car (laughs) ^^
