Can folks that have been at the center confirm the color swatches (frogs) for PTS - is it the full color palette available as listed in the PDF sheet dealers have, or just the most common colors?
Wouldn't mind making a trip to Atlanta if the former, as it would go a long way to select a favorite PTS color when seen in the flesh.

Well, for what its worth, the PEC in Atlanta is worth the trip. Drove the GT3 and it is amazing. The Solis hotel next to PEC is new and nice. Did not get to check out 356 - maybe next time. Some nice cars in the museum. Lots of cars lined up for delivery.

For those of you referring to the "GT3 Experience", are you talking about the 1.5hr experience? If so, did you feel like you learned/improved your ability and/or understanding of how to improve your ability in regards to driving your GT3? Or was it more just like a fun thing to do with someone else's GT3?

Having never driven the GT3, but having some track experience, I'd say it was worth it. PEC Atlanta isn't a track, but a "performance circuit". You can get on the car pretty good, and as ryantt said, the instructor will tailor to you. We were passing other GT3's, so it is up to you, your comfort level, and the instructor.
Overall, I'd say it was worth it. skid pad was fun, as was the small circuit of dry, polished pavement where you basically drift the car around corners. So, as to vodavoda's question of did I improve in handling? Yes, you get to toss the car around a bit and push it, but not wide open as we did at the PDS in Birmingham. I really did it just to experience the GT3, as I would like to get one although not currently on a list (yeah, I know). Compared to my TTS and GT4, its in another class. Just on sound alone.
