Big dollar Bargin shopping would have me seriously looking for those McLaren deals everybody has been talking about.

599 and 430 scuderia are also on bargin list.

I currently have a 997.1RS so i can wait
do tell!

Agree...a 997 RS is the closest in spirit to the GT3. All the other cars mentioned are GTs fast heavy and fancy cars. They won't do it for me. GT THREE all the way!! I could care less if PCNA, PAG or whatever other Ps are monitoring the threads

I have owned a F430, 599 and now a 458. All great cars. All reliable.

Oh ya. The dealer will want it back too so we were able to work something out. That's if I ever want to sell it. I loved my 08 and this one is only more special.

There were a few manual 599's but not many and most of them are 07. All 2010 are F1. I always shifted mine manually and really liked the F1 transmission. The HGTE cars handle better. It is a GT but a stonking fast GT. A great car. Mine was nero daytona as well. I have thought about getting another one now that I have passed on a GT3.

Awesome, congrats. I personally wouldn't have the nerve to track it though.

That HGTE is fantastic! You are only making this harder for me sechsgang! I think it's only a matter of time before I jump ship.

Oh, this thing isn't getting tracked. I still have my 996 Cup car if I feel the itch.




Thanks guys! I loved my 08...and figured if I couldn't have my gt3, Id at least have something I know I'll love albeit for different reasons. At least I won't be worrying about the time frame for the GT3...Ill cross that bridge when I come to it.
