Hello RL members,
My car arrived a few days ago, words could not describe my feelings. This has been such an interesting journey, starting with my search more than a year ago (calling multiple dealers to be on "list") and ending with my recent involvement with Champion.
I would still like to thank/shout out to Jim Hahn (GM from Champion) and Brain Wagner (Salesperson) as they kept their word and moved forward with a fair deal. Despite not being my exact build, it did come with all the options that I hoped for (manual/buckets/pccb).
My initial impressions
-Surprised how easy this car drives! My last manual car was a E46 BMW M3 (other manual car was a 94' Acura NSX), no need for any re-learn/re-programming. Clutch engagement is butter (travel/clutch feel/shifter). This car is civilized when you keep the revs under 4k,
anything past this is another whole new ball game. You really have to be behind the wheel to experience this N/A engine masterpiece (trust me, I have seen literally all GT3 videos since the car was announced, the sound is quite different in real life).
For the last few days, I have not turned on the radio once, you just can't get enough of the engine/revs.
Cheers,
Jack
Congrats and glad you are enjoying. And glad that Champion came through for you. One question - how were you able to keep platinum silver deviated stitching and still get rid of the awful seat stripes? Or perhaps you have a different grey/silver stitching that just looks similar to platinum (GT silver, pebble grey, chalk)?
Enjoy- first car I owned that after a year it still feels as fun as the first day I turned the key. And that says a lot bexause I get bored very easily
Many thanks for all the compliments,
We are really a lucky bunch to get to drive such an incredible machine. Nothing beats the sound of N/A engine!

I believe it this is due to deviated silver stitching that came with the car.
When everyone’s asleep in the middle of the night and you’re staring at your gorgeous GT3 parked in the garage...it’s that very moment you should know you got it right.
Well done and congrats!!! JB
