Whats New for the 2004 Porsche 911 GT3?
The 2004 Porsche 911 GT3 is a bare bones, normally aspirated, lightweight, no-nonsense sports car. Equipped with a 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine that revs more freely than the one in the 911 Carrera, the 911 GT3 makes 380 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and 285 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Eighty percent of maximum torque is available at 2,000 rpm, helping the 3,043-pound 911 GT3 to run from zero to 60 mph in a scant 4.3 seconds and from zero to 100 mph in 9.4 seconds. Giant front cross-drilled and inter-vented brake discs, larger than those on the 911 Turbo, work with six-piston red-painted fixed calipers and standard ABS to haul this Porsche down from speed. Aerodynamic body tweaks allow for a 190-mph top speed in the 2004 Porsche 911 GT3, and to endure the rigors of the racetrack the body is reinforced and the chassis stiffened to achieve a 25 percent increase in torsional rigidity over a standard 911 Carrera.
