Default Just another white GT3

Well guys it finally arrived on the transport yesterday. The long wait is finally over. I will follow up with my comments on the car after I drive it awhile. I have a Boxster S with PDK so I am use to the paddle shift but there are differences that I have already detected. Another difference from my previous Porsches is it does not start on the first revolution. I think this is by design so the car never starts with a lean condition. That extra crank adds more fuel to the cylinder and then fires. Any way so far so good I just wish I could drop the hammer. This first 2000 miles will test my patients.

Nothing 'just' about that car, except just awesome!

Always fun to have the fresh off the truck shots.

Huge congrats on a stunner and look forward to follow-up.

Congrats Smokin, nice to see another arrival. Was it difficult not to smile watching her being unloaded? Enjoy her to the fullest.
