Default Your next car, upgrade, etc.

I was just wondering what the next step is for you guys. Are you planning on buying a new 991.2 GT3, another car, or maybe doing some upgrades to your existing cars? What are you doing next on the car front?

For me, it's...

1. Tires (Cup 2's)
2. Fire Extinguisher
3. Roll Cage
4. Window Tint
5. Upgraded Pedals
6. Headers (down the road)

No plans for another car anytime soon.

I should receive my .2 GT3 allocation this year.
First thing I will do is "driver mod" ... sign up for track days with local groups and look forward to burning through the OEM rubber and pads,

2017:
1. Having CF wing and front lip installed (Vorsteiner)
2. BBi center muffler delete
3. Re-do my PPF (covered under warranty)
4. Ceramic coat the PPF
5. Buy track (AMP) membership
6. Finish third car garage with storage lift
7. Buy an RS3 with Audi Exclusive blue of some sort.. Golf, Arrow, Voodoo, Mexico
8. Tune the hell out of that and add wheels, exhaust, ALP setup
9. Buy a backdated / tribute 73 RS/R with big ol rear flares. Poor man's singer build. Maybe RS Werks

.2 GT3 because I want LWBs and a car that I spec myself. Will immediately have harness bar and belts installed - not liking tracking with 3-point belts (scares the wife too much).

Either buy the .2 GT3 once I see it or just be happy and keep my .1

Either buy the .2 GT3 after I read reviews and pictures or stick w/ GT4. May consider 997.2 GT3 but let's see if prices will drop after March

I am keeping the 991 GT3 and the 997 C2. Planning to add an old school 911 (964 or earlier) within 2-3 years.

I ordered a new '17 luxury SUV (incoming in April) and will await the next "special" NA 991 (perhaps 992) model.
I was ready to spring for a new RS, but my dealer did not come through... Ordering/buying the new SUV assuaged my disappointment in not having the opportunity to order a new RS.

Frankly, I'm in no particular haste to upgrade inasmuch that the longer I keep my 991.1 GT3, the more equity I'll have in the car, come upgrade time. Car is paid in full in June '19. Win/win as far as I'm concerned. As an optimist, this was meant to be...

Cheers/B

Adding in a BBI rollbar and 6pt harness to the RS. Next car on the list is the .2GT3 with a manual which I probably won't be able to buy till 2018 which is fine because I need to replenish my savings.

Decide on keeping my current RS vs. 991.2 GT3.
GT350 (hopefully soon)
Build my dream garage
Have one hell of a time at the track and at Smokies Spring and Fall

Both!

Maybe a Grave Digger wrap on your RS to match your T-shirt?

Trying to figure out how to keep the GT3 and add a Huracan RWD or McLaren with garage space and cost concerns associated...
