Congrats!!- although the 991 a different car would be interested in your thoughts after you get some miles under her.

Who did your wheels and are they Powder coated or painted?

thanks yeah they were painted..i was afraid of the whole heating up of powder coat..I dropped car at dealer and the wheels sent out to a local guy he does an amazing job...here is the Mac..I loved it but I still haven’t got the manual out of my system ha..even the lp550 I have is a manual..570 was fast but throttle response and sound was lacking..and obviously had lag...

Congrats, wheels look fantastic. Your guy did a great job from what I can see by the photos, seems to be spot on with the 2RS white gold mag wheels which are a personal favorite of mine. Enjoy in good health!!

good eye! Yes it was Porsche paint code 539 I believe...and yes regarding comparison w a 570..gt3 is such a mechanical machine it’s no comparison in certain areas..very few cars can be enjoyed without full throttle..and gt3 is one of those..the 570 was only fun if you were literllly full boost/throttle...I mean shape/exotic look the 570 beats most cars esp given the doors that go north...but not many cars as enjoyable as a gt3 just cruising around town etc...does everything so perfectly....basically Porsche only puts the effort in to their GT lineup....the “normal” Porsche’s have gone soft...lol

Is that the same white gold color as what were on the 997RS and 991GT2RS?

ohh you do?! Let put this way I have kept that car the longest for me which is now over 3yrs..most cars I sell in less than a year bc I get bored of em(17 R8 plus, Amg gts,v12vantage(which was a Manual sold bc I had 25k Miles on it)etc. A good manual is hard to come by these days without having to sell a body part for one..lol..and the lp550 is an awesome car..I nvr get sick of driving it..that’s my gauge..I drive it couple times a week...the gt3 amd LP are both awesome....hard to choose one....I don’t see myself selling either anytime soon...what color is your LP?
