Default The stripper is here.

I thought I'd continue the title as a sequel . Car arrived exactly one month early.

Big shout out for Porsche Beachwood and my SA Steven Youhana. Talked to them about a GT3 back in June 2017, ordered the car July 2017. Straight shooters from the get go, MSRP dealers. It probably helps that they are a large volume dealership, making it easier to be straight.

Delivery is next week. Here are a few shots at the dealership, fresh off the truck.

There is a place for your comments and it is not here. Start your own or post in the stealer thread.

Congratulations on the car. I agree Steve Youhana and Beachwood are great to deal with. No games.

Thanks, all.

The only options that cost money are GT Silver color, full buckets, FALS, fire extinguisher, auto mirrors and wipers, Chrono package. The last two I added, well, just because. I also wanted the steering wheel and gear lever in leather not alcantara, and I went with PDK because I have been heel toeing my C4S on track for the last 16 years, and I'm tired of it, . Will add a roll bar and harness after i get the 2,000 break in miles done.

If it doesn't make the car go faster or safer, I didn't get it. I learned that GT Silver has a lower coefficient of friction than any color thereby saving a few seconds, so got that LOL Yes, standard wheels, because if you paint them, that adds a few ounces of unsprung weight, deteriorating the performance.

Happy Motoring!!

Congrats!!!!
