congrats. I tried to purchase the .2 GT3 from Kevin at Beachwood and was treated poorly. They lowballed my trade on my .1GT3 and refused to negotiate. Since Beachwood is an MSRP dealer, did you are a trade ? if so did they lowball you also ?

I'm a tall guy at 6'4"and 230 and the LWB were quite comfortable and I didn't find them too tight. I'll update as I do more exploring. Thanks for all the kind post.
Where in Michigan are you from? I'm from Bloomfield Hills and ordered a Feb 2018 GT3 from Beachwood as well.

Same as the 991.1's, cars got Michelins or Dunlops.

Thanks for the update on the car, sounds like it's amazing.

Awesome man! Fantastic build. GR on the .2 looks nicer than on the .1. Must be the more modern front end & all the black bits.

Great to hear! I'd love to see it one of these days! My 2018 is Carmine Red from Beachwood as well! I drive my 991.1 GT3 everyday (at least for the next month or so). I'm off of Long Lake and Kirkway Road. A good friend of mine in the Bloomfield area has a '15 991.1 GT3 in Mahogany Metallic with PCCB and nearly every interior option. Mine is sapphire blue.

Hopefully we see each other driving around!

My office is at Pontiac Trail and Haggerty (Motorwerks)

carnut, really appreciate the post as it's a very close spec to my anticipated build & anxious to see similar delivered specs. GR really shows well with all the black highlights. The silver wheel provides an optical enhancement of the wheel well for a strong & enlarged looking stance. Just awesome!
