Given /Drive channel only has three minute videos, I cancelled my YouTube subscription. That said, this Chris Harris video was done before the changes and is in my opinion, the second best review of the GT3. We've all seen it, and I try to post fresh content when I can but, it deserves to be today's "I'm waiting for my GT3 and need something to do, watch or read post." Enjoy it, again.

Good for you monkey!

Watching this again makes more sense after reading the forum for months and having a point of reference.



Then we got this pre stop sale video.



And, finally this post stop sale video.

Thanks for posting those again--fun to watch! Technically, I think the 3rd video was first shown on a pre-stop sale limited release basis on the GT3 microsite (passwords given out with the centre lock screen cleaner).

The GT3 in the first video was I think the first time I saw the GT3 and it made an impression. I like the contrast of the ruby red lights to the white paint and I liked the red calipers. The overall look was in a number of videos including the engineering videos. It's probably why there are so many people who bought white.

Not having a journal thread I guess I'll make this one mine so as not to clutter up the forum. I hit Stunt Road, Schuern, Piuma, this morning and am at Rockstore again having a biker breakfast. I tried to wave past some riders on cycles, they would have nothing to do with it. Blasting down the canyons and ending up at the Rockstore, the rider behind me came up as I was in line to order breakfast and he complimented the car, saying the sound was epic. I was hitting close to 9k at some points downshifting and upshifting in 2nd and 3rd. It was truly epic sounding noise. He said the only reason he was able to keep up is because his bike is race set up.
