Just took her for a ride. Can't believe it. Speechless. Blown away by how comfortable it rides. My biggest worry was ride comfort. Even in sport it's fine

Neighbors are terrified of it. Rolling through my neighborhood at 20 mph, the sound made a lady jump out of the road. Somewhat funny, but somewhat of a hassle. I'll have to keep her at a steady 15 so it's obvious I'm not ripping through the neighborhood.

Folks- this car blows the 991 c2s away. Not even same ballpark.

And the handling. And the sound. Omg. Unfortunately I have to now put her away for 5 days as we have some construction going on at the house and it's no place for a GT3. I'll see her again on Wednesday next week.

Possibly the best looking 991 GT3 I've seen so far.

You may cause me to pony up the extra $3K to switch from white to gt silver. Besides the paint color, anyone else you've done with the exterior to make it look so good?

Everyone with a still unlocked order, change your color to GT Silver.

Thank you!

Black headlights, standard wheels, steel brakes. Gt silver is unbelievable in person.

is that the anthracite brushed aluminum option or the standard? if brushed option (I think it is), could you snap a couple more pictures? and can you confirm whether or not it is the same material as used on the outsides of the aircon vents that are visible when the door is opened?

Congrats!
Yes it is the anthracite trim and it is fabulous. Here are a few pics with and without flash on. And yes, the trim is the same where the door opens.

Congrats and enjoy. I know it has been a long road but some times the second time around is even a sweeter. You have no idea yet what you are in for. I have driven many cars, except the 458, and there are few cars that can compete with this package. When She starts settling in and you get more confidence you will be in awe

Enjoy

HHAHHAHHAHA, excellent! Really love your car! Now I am having some seizures, can't stand the wait. My tracking page hasn't been updated since 9/18.
Still shows waiting in Emden. I even emailed Andrea to see if she could get me a better update. I just need to chill. but..... I CAN'T!
Thanks again Sean! Awesome pics and movie. I am living vicariously through
you and all the other happy Rennlisters with their new babies.

Honestly, I can now look back on the wait and say I wouldn't have changed a minute of it. Enjoy the wait and the anticipation. There's nothing like it.

And when you see it for the first time, it's just am unbelievable feeling.


Man, what a day. Won't ever forget it.
