Thanks for the compliments ... I wasn't sure if lava would suit the .2 gt3 but once I saw her in flesh.. I was convinced that it wasn't a bad choice
Deviated stitching in Lava was a must for me to compliment the exterior color!

Never tracked my cars. This one could be an exception and might see couple of track days

You absolutely have to take that car to the track even if its only once. It's the only way to really appreciate what you have. These are such amazing cars, theres simply no way to really get a feel for the magnitude of that GT3 on the street. Yours is PDK so all the better. No chance of a missed shift and the feeling and sound of PDK shifting at lightning speed with this pneumatic sound up through the gears at 9K rpm each time with the engine at full song really is one of life's great pleasures if you're a motorhead. You just can't do it on the street, the car is too fast. On the track you get to do it in an unrestrained fashion. You may choose not to become the track junkie many of us are but you gotta do it at least once. I've owned over a dozen street and race Porsches and my 991.1 GT3 was the best overall experience in a car on track I've ever had. Can't wait for the spring to get my .2 out there.

Congrats on a phenominal first Porsche and the ***** and patience to get it exactly the way you wanted it. Very well spec'd!

Congrats! Awesome 1st P-car.
I had Lo-Jack before and I wasn't impressed. The fob battery would die, and the car would be moved, and they never contacted me. This went on for years. I realized it was pointless. I would have to be the one to call them and ask, "where's my car?" I only have manuals now, which is a major theft deterrent.

I'll second that recommendation you take it to the track. Otherwise you'll be appreciating it for about 35% of its capabilities. Shoot me a PM and I can give you some advice on how to make your first track days fun and safe. Great looking car btw.

Thanks All... looks like she will need to see the track in order for me to see and explore her potential
Btw Lava looks so different in different shades of light.
Not sure if i should go for the Porsche racing stripes in black to offset the loud lava color a bit?
