This is killing me. Out of town and picking up car on Friday. Even changing flight to an earlier one for $500 on Friday- we are really sick individuals.
I just called the Dealer because i needed they to do a couple more things and i asked if they installed my RSS X-pipe yet. He said they did it yesterday and all the Tech guys we all standing around the car listening to it and it sounded sick.
I told my Wife to clear any thing scheduled for me this weekend. I need some alone time with our new member to our family - She hung up the phone on me

Picked her up this afternoon. It was raining and 48 degrees but did not stop me for taking her out. I will only make a few comments because 50 miles means nada. The steering is very similar to my GT4 which was a step up from the .1 GT3 and I felt(GT4) was stupendous. She has way too much power for DD in any thing but ideal conditions. If you even punch her form 3000 to 4000 rpm quickly in 2nd /3rd gear your wheels are spinning. You have to show her mucho respect or you will be bitten. I get it that the conditions were not ideal and the tires new but compared to my GT4 this car has so much power that should not be street legal. Love the mid-range torque which is a huge upgrade from the .1. The exhaust certainly is louder and sounds different than the .1.. I have an RSS X-Pipe on her and I would dare not hit the Exhaust button in my neighborhood. It is pretty sick sounding. I thought my GT4 with FVD headers and their valveless sport exhaust was to die for but this kills it. I would never consider modding the exhaust for the flaps to always be open because it would be way too much.
The clutch is a big disappointment in my opinion. Way too light. The GT4 was freakin perfect. It will take some time getting used to but my mind will not be changed on this one. Shifts exactly the as the GT4 which is a good thing. I do not feel they are shorter in the .2. One thing I found very interesting is this engine smells differently than any Porsche I have owned. I am not saying it is a bad thing but I have had several new Porsches and they all smelt the same. This one has a completely different smell.
I will post pictures tomorrow but will not comment further until I have enough miles to give a more thorough review. But I can tell you this engine is "Special".

I have a love/hate relationship with Black cars. But it looks perfect on your GT3, congrats!

Question: Deciding between 35% or 50% Ceramic Tint all around but windshield. I am thinking 35% may be too much with a black car. I am not trying to Gangster my car. I usually do the Crystalline 40 but my Detailer is using a different product. Thinking 35 may be too much but 50 enough to cut out heat and give enough privacy
Thoughts??

Was it worth the 500 bucks of extra plane ticket change to see the beast : D
