That would be the sound of me speechless and babbling like an idiot. My baby was delivered last night at 5:30. Have only put 50 miles on her so far.

Wow. Just, wow.

Now I understand all of the posts about the challenge of keeping her under 4,200 RPM for the first 2,000 miles. That's just heresy to what this car wants to do.

I don't play in the same league as many (most) of you here. Finances have been a struggle the past five years (see prior posts about the leeching effects of divorce). Finally able to comfortably swing this. Feeling very blessed/fortunate/lucky right now.

Thanks to all for the input on this board. I wouldn't have known squat about which options to get if it wasn't for y'all.

We are truly a fortunate group of people to be able to enjoy this car.

Congrats in the new ride, and most important the financial recovery from the big D. Been there, and yes it's hard to start over best of luck. GT3 is a good way to move on!

Car looks great! Glad things are looking up. Under 4200 for 2k? Work it methodically in the rpm band under 5k for a couple tanks of gas. Then always let the car warm up sufficiently prior to dropping the hammer and you're good. 2k is absolute overkill. Enjoy!!

Congrats on the magnificient ride and mostly for the recovery after harder times. Indeed, we as owners are extremly fortunate. Enjoy it a bit for me as temperatures in the teens, combined with snow and rocks and aweful roads, up here in Canada will prevent me from doing so!!!
I take the cover off once in a while and i stare, simply amazing!

Congratulations on the GT3 and moving beyond the pain of a bad divorce; I've recently been there myself. Driving is therapy.

Vivian.
