There are a few bikers on the forum as well. I ride BMW S1R daily, have a GSXR750 for track (my avatar) and, surprise, surprise Panigale 1199S for w/e work. Not sure if you've had GT3 before but be interesting to see how the bike/car balance goes. I'm getting more and more into car track days now since getting the GT3!!
PS - MotoGP became a real farce for the last three races eh? Real shame that men with such great talent trashed the highest level of the sport.

Default '15 gt3 in 'Mexico Blue' available if any of you are interested!

My salesman at Beachwood sent me this email:





If anyone is interested, just call them.

Default The Sewickley (PA) 'Arena Red Metallic' gt3 is now owned by a Rennlist user!

I recently received a message from a Rennlist user (disden) that informed
me that he had bought the MY2015 PTS 'Arena Red Metallic' gt3 initially
allocated by PCNA to Sewickley dealership in Pennsylvania. It was identified
early in our search (March 27th) for the dealers that were destined to get
these 30 late allocation '15 PTS gt3's once they were built by Porsche:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...l#post12157280

***

This particular 'ARM' gt3 gained some notoriety when it was first attempted
to be sold via eBay by its original owner:







https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...-this-car.html

https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...l#post12563724

***

Interestingly, the gentleman that contacted me bought it from Porsche of
North Houston
, not from the original owner or Sewickley. It only had 750
miles. When he first contacted me via PM, after having already bought the
car, he did not yet know the provenance from Sewickley. I told him that he
should find out so that we could fit his car into the story of that this thread
has tried (successfully I may add) to document - where these 30 PTS gt3s
first landed & where or with whom they ended up! And because of it, we
have been able to place a good number of these PTS gt3's in the hands of
fellow Rennlisters that follow us here!

I hope that the new owner, who is no stranger to Rennlist since he already
has over 400 posts to his credit, will fill us in on the rest of the story! And
I also want to congratulate him on this special gt3 purchase!

Saludos,
Eduardo

Default Signal Green GT3 is up for sale

Looks like Blue Grass Motorsport in Kentucky has a Signal Green GT3 for sale. The dealer is saying that it is not signal green and that is is just called "green". Hmmm....

Thanks for the heads up, biglare!




This much we know. It is not one of the ten late allocation
MY2015 gt3's done in 'Signal Green'. Much earlier VIN # &
built in 9/2014. So it had to be (for example) for a customer
that ordered a PTS 2014 gt3 and it was pushed into an early
MY2015 production allocation (& keeping his/her PTS status).

****

As for the color, it could indeed be just 'Green' or '2D8'. That
is the color specially formulated for the 2007/2008 .1 997 gt3
RS, which is still a popular PTS color.



The dealer should know. There is a sticker (as you know) which
list the color and it should be attached to the car at some location.



*****
I think the price is a steal for this car with only 546 miles:

It should move quickly!
