Gorgeous car, and great story. Congrats and enjoy every minute of it. It is really the best car Porsche makes right now (aside from the 918) IMHO.

"Now I have to say this. If you are a real car guy, GT3 purist, leave this Journal right now. I'm am a self-admitted, car-guy poser. I will not be taking this to the track. I went to Sebring once and hated it. I will be shining this car with a proverbial microfiber "diaper" in my garage. I will be detailing it, taking it to cars and coffee, driving it on back roads, taking photos of its awesomeness, and generally staring at the car. I got PCCBs because they make less dust. Please don't hold this against me. "

I feel you brother, I enjoy washing more than tracking

Beautiful color! When you've put some miles on the car I would be interested in a brief comparison.

Congrats money,

I did the same thing, bought a 14' C2S in March and sold it in August for a GT3!

Great story and beautiful car. Glad you came out ok on your C2S. Sounds like it was a win-win. Enjoy your new beauty!

I was worried that my little guy wouldn't be able ride in the GT3 since I was losing the back seat. He turns four on Christmas and is almost 50 lbs. My wife isn't too keen about him riding in the front seat, so we did a test fit. I wanted to be sure the air bag stayed off, and I could get him far enough back that it wouldn't matter.

The good news is that he fits. The bad news is my wife wouldn't let him go to cars and coffee this weekend.




He approves!

Don't remind me. In my haste on trade-in day, I broke the passenger side clear LED sidemarker while removing from the C2S. So I bought another one at the dealership. The only problem is that the parts department gave me a driver's side. I knew I should have brought it with me.

I'll get one this week.

So awesome for you! Thanks much for all the pictures. I put an order in Friday for a PTS, which I expect to not happen, but told my dealer Sapphire Blue if the PTS doesn't happen.

Sitting and waiting here.........
