Default My new (to me) PTS 991.1 GT3 - Ice Blue Metallic

Hey all!

The desire, admiration, and love for Porsche cars has been existent within me ever since I played Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed. I originally wanted a 991 C2S/GTS with a duck tail and a manual, but after driving the 991.1 GT3 - I knew I couldn't ever be happy with a car that didn't rev to at least 8k RPM again (used to have an '04 M3!). The PDK didn't bother me at all since it's such a refined transmission, and I don't have the patience to wait for a 991.2 with a manual, or the wallet big enough to pay well above sticker for one! So I traded my 2017 M3 in and got this gorgeous Ice Blue Metallic 991.1 GT3 and have been loving it ever since. The timing stinks, as it's supposed to snow over here in the northeast in a few days, but that hasn't stopped me from putting miles on her since I definitely don't want to trade her any time soon. It's a dream car for me, and I'm proud to share it with you fine people over here on rennlist.

Enjoy

Firstly, a few shots of the M3:





And the GT3!



































I hope to learn plenty about these magnificent cars. I've already installed a center muffler bypass and am looking into headers. I'm also purchasing a new steering wheel since I definitely don't like the paddles on the sport design wheels and feel the steering wheel is a bit smaller in terms of grip.

Cheers!

Wow - I love the colors on both your cars, the M3 and the .1 GT3. You must have a rare PTS color, haven't really seen that color photographed much compared with other PTS colors. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades, congrats and drive in good health...I think you made the right choice my friend - welcome to the madness

Love the color, looks like it has a little Rhodium (ala rhodium silver, my favorite color) in it. Have fun.

I was going to get my GT4 painted IBM, but the general manager talked me out of it...
Looks pretty damn good to me!

Being able to purchase a a 991.2 in Ice Blue, that may do it for me till I'm in the grave. That color is perfection imo.

What is that color called on the M? Looks kind of like Miami Blue
