Thanks for sharing your experience and the pictures. Was a great read to start my Saturday morning. Congratulations on a stellar car. |
Great write up. Thank you for sharing. |
So cool Joe...I read your whole report..well done! |
:thumbup: I don’t understand buying new Porsche’s and not doing ED.. Mine will be a challenge in the middle of winter on Summer tires! |
Great feedback! Makes me want to do ED...
|
Congrats on the beautiful new RS! Enjoyed reading your write up. What was the “end of an era” referring to? |
amazing story and great pictures, what camera? you really packed in a lot of adventure, thanks for sharing with us! Id love to see more
|
Thanks for sharing, Doesn’t look like you slept much. Awesome to see an enthusiast actually get out and drive these great cars instead of just going to C&C after removing the bubble wrap. Porsche should take note that when they give an allocation to a person like this they can get this kind of exposure for their brand instead of watching the flipping debacle and the dealer games being played. |
Heartburn chips. But, great story for when you’re old. |
Really terrific write up, draws reader into your experience. |
Great write up Joe i am leaving for Zuffenhausen delivery in 5 weeks! my car is the same spec as yours except (gasp) PCCB’s (have Giro disc replacement steels from GT3) Pictures are superb-professional quality 👍🏻 |
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. What an exceptional trip! |
Wow AMAZING! I had not idea it's this much fun :) Thanks for taking the time to write this, will make a lot of us do ED now.
|
I thoroughly enjoyed your write up about the trip and car. Well done! |
Thanks a lot for the nice comments, everyone. I'm happy you guys liked it and spent the time to read through it.

That’s awesome and importantly, good job on leaving the US and exploring more of the world. The first time I did it, I became hooked on traveling and soaking up new culture. I find the same thrill in traveling to a new place as I do of a new track.

Awesome write up; glad you could make the trip. I’m thrilled with LG as well, far exceeded my expectations. My wife sat out this current ED visit, she wasnt too interested in hanging out at race tracks all week.

What an awesome trip!!
Your lap on the ring looked exceptional for your first time, you can tell you have natural talent! I have raced it and have hundreds of laps and still feel like I don't know it 100%. It's very challenging, and yes thats what makes it fun!! Yup. The challenge of the ring is the allure. I'd love to learn how to drive it flat out in my spec miata.

Congratulations on your purchase and more importantly on the experience. I would love to do the same but have three small children with 6 being the oldest. We just don't have any help to even attempt a trip like this.
Agreed with your points regarding the acquisition stress. I was originally slated for an August delivery and voluntarily pushed my allocation back to October hoping for PTS. Of course, we all later found out that didn't happen. Whatever; give me a car. I think this new .2 3RS will fare really well over time and should provide years of entertainment. Plus, the flip game to get to the car is taxing. I know my wife is sick of hearing about what is the next P car coming to the house. Enjoy in health and report back your thoughts with regard to setup and how it differs on your familiar tracks. If it follows like the .1 GT3 to .1 RS I suspect you will find the car has a lot more turn-in and faster mid corner speeds. One last request - when it gets home, check your rear wheel arches on the leading edge. .1 3RS's would tear them up badly on track. My guess is they alleviated that with a move from rubber bushings to bearings on the suspension. Less deflection. Congrats again man! - Chris.

Was a pleasure to meet you Joe. When I am in California next I hope you can show me one of the local tracks. Enjoy the car.
