Why did you sell the GT350? I was recently contemplating the same thing to pursue another car. Also have a deposit on the GT500 depending what the final car ends up being.
Lots of reasons. Bad build quality being one of them. Then I read the engine blown thread and noticed my increasing oil consumption, I decided to sell it before summer ends.
This car is popular in the US but hard to sell in Canada.
Really eh? Timing works....however I've been good and may need 1-2 other goodies. Thanks!
I always hope for a white Christmas......maybe not this year!
Just a head's up and word of warning. Even if the roads are completely dry, merely breathing on the throttle in freezing temps can send the car sideways. I almost learned that the hard way a couple years ago.
They are not the ones who provided the allocation. Will post up the build soon as I finalize it.
Well thats a curveball! But it's good to know there was another dealer who could take of you.

Honestly, there isn't much between all the options. PCO orders/installs/paints GMG cages, so I went with them out of convenience. Made the delivery process seamless. And I also wanted the WEC bar mainly just cause how awesome it looks

Ya, they look interesting. I know they're popular with the Viper crowd. When I was looking I only saw Sabelt and Schroth with 'proper' GT3 lap belt mounting brackets.

Thanks. I'm hoping for sunny 15 degree day with no road salt or ice/snow. Tall order. What will realistically end up happening will be me driving home from dealer following an enclosed trailer.

Yeah, my canvassing worked. Quite frankly this dealer has been easier to work with.

Good to know, that might narrow it to GMG or BBi. Convenience is big these days. I'll have to check out your cage.
Wow that is a long shot. Congrats!!!!
I got a GT4 then traded for my GT3 as well. I too had a GT350 but sold it recently. Did you get your GT4 from PNT?
i recently got a GT350R in addition to the GT3. The Shelby is an amazing car. The sound is unmatched and the track performance has been stellar. I’m finding the GT3 fun the drive fast. The GT350R is fun to drive at any speed. My car has burned no oil and has been solid.
I will wait until I hear the stock exhaust, but I feel like I'll want something more. Videos sound great but are hardly ever good representations for both stock and aftermarket. I thought the GT4 could've used a boost in sound. I also have Sharkwerks centre bypass and Cargraphic sides on my 997.2 and well the GT350 is a beast. So I suspect I'll want something more.
Any thoughts on which neck restraint is best?
I think the major players all promote carpet cutting as the most invasive part of the install. But good point on the BBi following the internal contours best, wouldn't have thought of that and I don't think I read any of them promoting that feature. Is this from you seeing different ones installed or from marketing material?
I'll be sure to check out your thread!
If u are doing cage install yourself, BBi is way easier than Cantrell as you don't have to remove the side interior pieces...both require carpet trimming...
I have BBi in my RS along with Sabelt (slightly better hardware) and Hans (suggest lower profile neck restraint as Hans pushes ur head forward with the LWB, or use aftermarket kit to tilt the mount for LWB)

Took delivery few days ago! Still surreal that it's finally home. Unfortunately the weather hasn't been great, took it out for a short drive in 3.5 and 10 degree weather (Celsius). Soooo hard to keep RPM below 4000. Can't really glean much from that type of driving but I'm sure this car is going to be awesome when winter is done. Exhaust sounds awesome on cold start with sweet engine noises. Axle lift works quick. LWB are comfortable, gotta figure out how to get in and out better. Exclusive options turned out nicely and I'm happy with the results of the CXX options - Miami Blue LED for carbon door sill GT3 script, entire side mirrors in gloss black paint and rear deck air intake ducts in gloss black paint.
Better pics in the spring but here are a few with my phone, the house is not mine. Miami Blue definitely takes on different hues, it didn't look quite like the colour shown in the dealer pics, close but not the same. The one in front of the house is a decent representation for that light.
Some mods planned - PPF, Akrapovic link pipes and centre bypass, Eds LWB bolster protectors, 997 GT3 rear badge and removal of PORSCHE, some stickers and probably clear side signal lenses.
