Congrats, Alan. IIRC, we got our GT4's around the same time. Enjoy the new ride!

Thanks for the comments. Can't wait to get it to the Spring Smokies event. Might miss the tossable character of the GT4 and the off throttle machine gun crackle of the Dundon headers.

Congrats and enjoy!!

Love Black with the yellow Calipers. No matter how much fun the GT3 was - it still is no GT3. One just can not compare the urgency of the engine. I too traded my .1 for the same reasons you did back then

Enjoy in good Health

Alan, really exciting! Nice early Xmas gift.

I miss my 991.1 GT3 (GT Silver w/Martini livery). It was my first GT car, and although I now have a 991.2 Touring and a 981 Spyder, both manuals of course, I haven’t driven a PDK-S GT3 for over a year. The quick wind-up high-RPM scream and bang on each quick upshift is intoxicating.

There’s nothing like a GT3.

Alan let me know if you are interested in the GiroDisc PCCB-to- steel conversion rotors and ferodo ds 1.11 pads......didnt know if you got the pictures or not.

I have MaCarbon interior carbon fiber door handle inserts too, which looks great with etc CF dash package.

DSC V2 also.

The mods have begun. Forgelines due in about 2 weeks and Dundon race headers should arrive late next week.

Sweet ride! Congrats.

The color most of us would love to have....but hate to maintain!

Good call on full wrap! The only way to do black IMO.

Alan, didn’t you already have the GiroDisc PCCB-to-steel conversion setup on your GT4? And if so, can’t you just transplant it to the GT3 since they have the same brakes?

The fronts yes. The rears have different offsets. Could be as simple as new hats. However, I'm the poster child for unlucky.
