Thumbs up GT3 RS + a great white = ?

I don't know if I'll ever be able to own something like a GT3, but it's still fun to window shop. Shark Werks out in CA is doing some crazy stuff with late model Porsches. The guys recently stopped at Jay Leno's Garage with their new 4.1L GT3 RS.

For more info - http://www.sharkwerks.com/main.php

Enjoy the video.

8k for that paint scheme...

Love the sound of the exhaust. Loud when you want it to be but at cruising speeds its subtle.

Damn that is a gorgeous car. nice to see a smaller shop being successful with a more expensive platform. I still think the gray on red is still my favorite color combo though.

Glad you like you our exhaust Alpha:P And probably a good thing that the factory only made 3 more of these cars in these colors then eh

Thank you and yes we're small-time and just focused on these cars really... Grey/red does look good although I like the grey/silver better

Haha see above... it's a good thing then that the factory chose to only produce three more in this livery then eh

Thanks they're pretty darned fun visceral.

PS I still miss my modded 04 EVO VIII. Sadly in our area I kept getting harassed (even de-winged) so it had to go GREAT, fun cars both for just driving and on the track....

PPS Here's another video of the RS:

My Evo mostly sits in the garage due to police harassment. Sucks. If I could ever afford a GT3, I would. Someone said, it's my dream car. Perfect driver's car, as far add I'm concerned.

Damn, Sharkwerks, it's good to see you on this side of the woods.

I'm a former '06 CT9A owner and Rennlister myself. I have a deposit on a 991 GT3 right now. Almost pulled the trigger on a 2011 GT3 RS back when they were reasonably priced and now they're fetching $40k more than what I was offered the car for!

At any rate, great video. I'm sure Jay loved the car. It's absolutely the best of the forced induction world with the best of NA sound. That car is a gem!

Amazing work! Great to see you guys could still save weight on a titanium exhaust since that is associated with the "lightest" of light

Good to see you on here and yes it's crazy what's happened with the prices on these old gen RS':!)! Jay seemed to have fun with it being a manual and the rest

Hopefully they figured out the 991gt3 situation and right everyone

I know the feeling. It's sad I loved that car and it just got to the point where I was scared to ever drive it;(
