Still, your estimated delivery date of 12/13 is earlier than any posted so far that I've seen. We may be getting the first US owner reports from you....

Can we use your car to do some fact finding?
I'll pay for transport to Sebring and you can stay as long as you can stand it

We'll be gentle.
The first Rennlist automotive test, we can compare it to the 997RS TTS and invice Chris Harris. He came last time :-)

He was so impressed with all the giant dually's he may come just for the promise of getting to drive it. I should have a shine new 14 Mega Cab by that date.

Hey! Something's wrong here!

So you guys are planning to take this straight to the track?! Nooooooo...
GT3s don't need break in?

PDK-S break in?! Anyone?!

Yeah Nick, see.... your great point above and the talk in the other thread about stealing a GT3 has me a little nervous.

i'm going c7 to enjoy front engine rWD again, been doing way too many rear or mid engine cars lately... kinda miss front engine... hell i wonder how much the v8 pokes in front of the front axle... i bet it's not even that much...
