HaHa! Yes, and mine with a manual has a gas guzzler of $1700, LOL! Worth every penny!

Nice. Perfect car, perfect transmission with full on power on demand or on constant full on through shifts. Damn snow, I too am in withdrawal. It has been 36 hours since my last drive........

Interesting....he seems to love the car even though it has the blasphemous sofas, PDK, and standard interior....

Goes to show I think this car in any variation is a winner

Loved this quote—-

The GT3’s high usually requires stepping up to the really expensive stuff from Italy, the prancing horses and charging bulls. But those cars can’t touch this 911’s ability to balance everyday usability, speed, and steal-your-face handling goodness. Also, everyone assumes you have a problem if you drive an Italian exotic.

Weather in Springtime in Colorado is usually both awesome and then fierce! Snow due later this week (and then warm, and then Blizzard, etc...)

Today was gorgeous though . 60’s at high altitudes and 70s in town...

Btw, if you look closely at my pic of the lake, you’ll see that it’s stilll partly frozen...

very true. GT3 is still an amazing car with sofas and PDK.

Not all of us have bodies that can tolerate LWB/manual. Doesn’t mean we’re not true GT car enthusiasts.
