Ok...thanks for correcting that!

Thanks for that build info sheet, Newtown. There is no conflict here. Anonymous918 is not the owner of the 'Arena Red Metallic'. The actual owner of the 'ARM' thought we might be interested in knowing of the three special options on his build - that was all. We had already discussed one - the 'Kills bugs fast.' illuminated sill - in an earlier thread on this forum, which is why I knew this was the 'Beverly Hills' car.

With the LWB's and PCCB's on that ARM it would push the price to $170k. If there's a mark-up on top of that, that would be a pretty expensive GT3!!

Great information Eduardo......You should receive an award for your writing. I now see how my MY 2016 TARGA GTS order means nothing to PAG and PCNA in the overall grand big picture in how it was handled. Keep up the good work..I enjoy reading everything.

Default New ARM for me!

I have been looking for a special GT3 and went with one of the coveted 30 special PTS models. I looked for a Fashion Grey, but could not find one without paying several thousand over sticker. I contacted Porsche Exchange who had one of the Area Red new GT3's and as luck would have it I was able to get it! It arrived today to Alekshop and I'll see it for the first time tomorrow morning. This particular model also has the special illuminated door sills that state, "Kills bugs fast". It doesn't have the bucket seats, but that is OK with me.

Here are a couple of quick photos that he took for me. I'll take more of course once I'm there tomorrow.

Thank you Eduardo and other Rennlisters for all your help to date. I have learned a lot in a short amount of time as this is my first Porsche. After 7 BMW ///M cars it is time for me to move on. I was able to find a new owner for my Fashion Grey M3 as well, so it will be in good hands.


Enjoy the photos for now!

Congrats and welcome to the ARM club. Way to go not paying over MSRP as they were asking way over sticker.

Congrats Big guy, you'll enjoy it and wonder why you didn't move to the Pcar world earlier.

Congratulations on the arrival!! What's Alex going to do to the car for you? Roll cage?
Make sure you bring her out to the Blackhawk cars and coffee a week this Sunday. I'd like to see an ARM in the flesh.

Congratulations! We should meet up at Rennsport reunion to show off our ARM GT3s! But get to know the car first and break in the car before making mods, if I were you, because I think the car is fantastic the way it is from the factory.

Second 'ARM' with this option. Interesting! Here is where that all started...

Glad you were assisted by what all of us contributed to this very successful thread, which put into Rennlister's hands a good many of these
special PTS gt3s! That is quite a feat that we should all be proud of. For it's not everyday a web forum can directly assist its readers by a
breaking-news story on the existence of these PTS gt3 vehicles and also identify their exact locations in the dealer network. That combination
made possible the fact that quite a number of Rennlisters were able to purchase one of these 30 PTS gt3s. So we all benefitted from the efforts
of so many that posted vital information re: this topic on this thread!

Congratulations with your purchase and enjoy it in good health.

Saludos,
Eduardo
