Congrats Ilko- I figured this might be what you were after when you listed that beautiful TT for sale. Enjoy in good health- I love my .1 RS. That said, the 993 still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it Very blessed to have both.

Well, you didn't waste any time at all Ilko. We were just talking about this several weeks ago at the Open House. Congrats, it's an absolutely gorgeous car!!

Congrats. What a car! There is a guy in the Diablo region of the PCA who has one of those that I lust after every time I see it.

It will be a bit hard picturing you with a red rather than orange 997, but well done all the same!

Post some pics of your new stablemates side by side.

Yeah, we're definitely lucky. They are both great cars. I spent some time in the 993 last week and it's such a wonderful machine.

Thanks! I wasn't in position to purchase one at regular asking prices either but this thing just appeared out of the blue. Didn't cost a whole lot more than what I got for my turbo so I had to pounce.

Beautiful car.

I had the same driving impressions as you did with my 997TT. Fast, really fast, but too subdued. There's nothing like a rear wheel drive car.

Enjoy!

Wow very nice car and in red too, which is another big bonus especially with those options like the carbon bucket seats.

I think the fact that you got it for Gen1 pricing, OMG that is amazing in this GT3 market. Like the 993, you just have to be fast on the trigger when on the hunt.

I've driven both a 6GT3 and 7.1GT3 (almost back to back) and honestly they were both amazing to drive. Looking forward to your long term updates, but I believe they will most likely be more positive with time.

Congrats!

997 GT3 would be the ONLY car that I would consider trading (selling/buying) my C4S for.

Nice!

Late to the party to reply, but big congrats from MTL! Looking forward to the play-by-play on this latest beauty.

We need to hang out together more. Good company, and clearly, a knack for finding some really nice cars!



Cheers

Matt
