Nice car! I was wondering what you replaced it with!

The GT4 arrived from St. Louis yesterday. I haven't even seen it in person yet; it was delivered directly to the track where it will be stored. I will go check it out Thursday but I was told it looks essentially like a brand new car still!

Plano? Is my old GT4 going to live at Texas Motorsports Ranch?? I hope so and I hope you enjoy the heck out of it. I did - and yes it's in nearly new condition so have fun!

Sure is!

The owner of G Speed: https://gspeed.com/ is a close friend of mine. They will store the car for me and maintain it. The plan is for an aggressive DE build on the car with later converting to run GTB3 with it.

Awesome! I've done a few laps on that track in the past - open wheel actually.

Nice! The 1.7 course is surprisingly challenging. It will reward you for good toe/heel technique and absolutely spin you off-track without it

I'm planning for NCM this spring as well as Road Atlanta at Memorial Day. Will have to stay in touch in case you make it out to either so we can meet.

You guys make me feel very pedestrian, my second car is just a 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, could never afford a second $100,000+ vehicle.

GT3 or Turbo S - PDk - then you have one you can shift (GT4) and one you can focus on max performance ! I would lean towards the GT3 if I was doing more track - but if I was doing mostly road driving I would get the Turbo, as noted above, it does everything well, but when asked will deliver astonishing pace!

Really interested in your comparison between GT4 and now your GT3. I went from a GT3 to a GT4.

And 991.2's are very well-equipped even in its basic form. Double grinning here...



Great combo you have.

Are the both CR?

Honda Odyssey.
I actually have a ton of fun with mine but it isn't stock. I wish they would let me run it at the track I go to. In any case as a true additional toy car I would want something different that is all weather capable. I find myself price shopping GTRs now. My baby momma liked the GTR I had and I find myself missing it as well.

Odyssey I have is actually fun, but I have to admit I have been considering another GTR or more likely a focus rs. I would want an all weather car that is fun and turbo powered.

Since I'm already on the list for the new Gt3 and will likely get an early allocation I'm going to wait and see what the pricing is. But a 991.1 GT3 would be ideal if I didn't have engine concerns with already having concerns of my 3rd gear with the gt4. I can't have two cars in the shop at once.

Love it! When Louis gets your car dialed in just right, I'll take my GT4 to him to have him set mine up too. Let you be the guinea pig.
