Picked up a Stripper
Wait, that didn't sound right did it.
Sorry, I should say I picked up a lightly optioned GT3.
Finally, after waiting 10 months she's finally here.
As the title says, she's a stripper (gotta love those strippers).
Just added a few options.
LWB's (the most important option IMO)
Front lift (not so important but nice to have)
PDLS (just to match the color of the wheels)
Sound package plus (so I get the Navi freebie)
Some other freebies.
Just a few initial impressions that everyone and their cousin haven't talked about already.
1. Should have gotten the smokers package freebie. The little space there is absolutely useless!
2. The LWB's are awesome! You need to be careful though, they aren't for everybody. I cant imagine anyone larger than me fitting in them.
(i'm 5'9", 180lbs before the Holidays). Unless you're tall and skinny, you may want to diet some before your car gets here.
3. With the LWB's, the seating position is total track car! Low and upright.
4. This front is sooooo low, I don't know how everyone get's around town without a front lift. Who knows, maybe I don't need it but the front lip is really low to the ground.
5. Drives and sounds like a beast. It feels more raw than my R8 GT but with more refined handling. Haven't pushed it much as the temp is around 40 degrees in DC and I can feel the tires skipping when turning quickly. As for acceleration, I'll have to wait as I haven't gone WOT yet (only have 30 miles) as the R8 GT is no slouch.
6. I like shifting with the stick. Makes me feel like I'm driving a MT with one less peddle.
Also, just got the car wrapped (full front and behind the rear wheels) so ready to do more spirited driving as weather permits.
Here are a few phone shots as I know this thread is worthless without pics.

The car is as good as any other GT3 out there. Mine has an MSRP of 140k. All of my cars right now has every option a manufacturer can over,but my best car in my stable right now has no floor mats, no carpet, no garage door opener, no heads up display, no soft close doors, no heated steering wheel, no HDradio,no Sat radio, no leather interior and no power seats. So the leaner GT3 is as enjoyeable as a fatter GT3.

Looks great! I ordered the pdls to match the grey rims (like others such as mike from CA), but have not seen them in person. Are you happy with that choice vs Led or black pdls?

You really have to love this forum. You get replies instantly and it feels great. So thanks to everyone for that.
I've been a stalker ever since I ordered the car back in Feb and promised myself my first post would be of the arrival of my car. Wow, what a long wait.
Yes, I'm totally happy with my choice of PDLS to match the grey wheels. I felt no need for led and because I didn't get the black wheels (which I kinda regret), no need for the black pdls.
