Default GT3 Touring V200 Status!

Finally the long wait has become a shorter wait! Confirmed V200 status today for November delivery. Since I wont be able to get GBM anymore I decided on GT silver instead. Now weighing option between PEC Atlanta delivery for a nice driving vacation vs local delivery in Florida, any thoughts? Here's my build...

Link doesnt work properly so here's the code PJ6CNNF5

Sarasota, Florida! Did you do the PEC delivery? If so share your itinerary since I plan to make it a 5 day vacation process if I elect to do it.

I reposted the link and tested it, should work now.

The lighter anthracite trim will make it unique and coorindate with the GT Silver.

Congrats!

You’re all the way on the other side. Thought about PEC, but decided to take delivery at dealer and have them transport the car to a local PPF shop. The way I drive, I don’t trust myself driving it around before getting full suntek ppf and ceramic coated (just under $5k for both, in case anyone is interested).

Still linked to upenn.

But anyways, I am surprised that your build is 99% same as mine except light package. I didn't bother getting it.

If you take the trip to take delivery in Atlanta, you will never regret it. you will be able to actually experience what it's like to turn the steering wheel of a car in an actual curve at speed, something which is not possible in Florida.

just north of Atlanta are some of the very very best driving roads in the entire world,, it would be to a crime not to take your GT3 on roads that aren't straight at least once in its life. Go from PEC straight up hwy 400 until it ends about 45 minutes north of the city. There you have the most entertaining track-like roads which the world can offer.. plan to spend 2-3 days there breaking in your car while giggling uncontrollably.

When you're done with god's own twisty road playground, jam your steering wheel straight with a big stick, and point straight for Florida.

Or better, store your gt3 somewhere, and fly back up to Georgia to drive your car.

That's awesome lol, I had GBM until they decided to phase it out I changed the link to just the code. I should look into the light package to see if its worth it. Didn't have it on the GT4 before and I think it was just the footwell light missing

Sounds like a blast, yea I think we will do PEC unless work prevents me. Will get it PPF'd up in ATL. 5 day trip sounds like fun. Will need 2 days to PPF.

Yea if I do local delivery, I will have to arrange for courtesy delivery as I am moving from the Northeast to Florida in July.

I'm trying to be cheap. If you have the means, I would get it.

Also, I don't have headlight cleaning system in exterior color as well. Debating if I should shell out $300 to make it not stand out.

Regarding the headlight cleaning cap, I could live with the chrome that's on the standard touring as it reflects the paint and is less noticeable but the black touring one just really stands out, after seeing a painted one in person, I just can't "unsee" the black one anymore. So it's going to cost $300 to treat my OCD.

Maybe we can find someone who has a chrome one to trade for our black one and save $300

I saw one youtuber put chrome PPF on the nipple to make it match.




Or look at this - https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/99X2HWNH.html

Just $25 each to replace it to chrome. I think I can live with chrome.
