Awesome, congrats. When are you guys coming down to Buttonwillow to track your cars? I'll bring out my Voodoo RS when you do.

I can't wait to see this one at the Track next year Curt! Congrats!
Amazingly the thieves abandoned the car less than 24 hours after it was stolen, it was impounded and we got it back. Less than 200 miles driven, no over-revs, a bit dirty and scuffed. After getting cleaned up, it's back to where it was before.

You got it, twin track cars. I love the "value threads" comment! We're intent on wearing them out.

Both Shay and I have a hard time with the value threads, our cars are high-mileage track rats. I don't know how you can enjoy GT3's in a garage.

No one would want this 997.2 RS. 25,000 track miles, Ohlins, Swift springs, Tarrett/ERP, etc.

Hi there,
I got a pts GT3 on order arriving in January. I chose Riviera blue and i am freaking out it willbe too loud , bright and in your face. How do you find the colour? could you please post more pictures?
My car will have black LED lights, black satin wheels, full buckets with red stitching and red seat belts. I am regreting not going with silver stitching , silver seat belts with silver wheels. All Riviera blues i have seen on line have silver stiching interior.
I am seriously very nervous about it. 2 weeks after i placed the order contacted my dealer to change colour to Mexico blue but factory declined as order was locked already.

Hi,

Riviera Blue is amazing, it's a nearly pure primary Blue with the same brightness as Lava Orange. I know this because we have both Lava Orange and Riviera Blue GT3 RS's.

I'm assuming your car will have steel brakes in red, so the red stitching and red seat belts will look great.

Mexico Blue is a bit darker, but the colors are very close. Both Shay and I debated about Mexico Blue vs Riviera Blue and decided we liked the slightly brighter tone of Riviera.

You'll love your new car and since your're from AUS, it'll be perfect. Nothing like a happy car color!

Hi mate, which state are you based in? I'm in Sydney, would love to see in person as i'm considering PTS for new GT Car allocation (if possible) and Riviera Blue and Signal Green are front runners.
