Default Back in a 991.1 GT3

Before COG met with Porsche in Atlanta I decided to bail on my GT3 and traded for a GT4. I had a lot of fun with that car and increased that fun factor with a set of Dundon headers and tune. Took it to 6 Smokies GT events which provided great roads and people to really enjoy the car.

Last week I stopped in one of the local Porsche dealers and they were rolling a newly traded 15 GT3 into the used showroom. Black on black with a nice build. Talked with the salesman and made a half hearted offer including CPO after a short test drive. The next morning they called and said they would take the deal. The few additional things I wanted addressed were taken care of Wed. and I picked up the car that afternoon. At delivery the car had 11,500 miles with a nice build sheet and a full wrap.

Stopped in at Forgeline this week and Dave is building a set of monoblock wheels for the car. Hope to add a set of Dundon headers in the near future.

I know, photos or it didn't happen.

Congratulations Alan! Your GT4 was a staple at Smokies events and was the mother of all GT4’s and a giant killer to boot. I’m sure your GT3 will now undergo a transformation that will make it the king of the hill.
Enjoy!

Happy to have you back in a GT3. Will miss seeing that GT4 heading off into the distance thought!! Glad you have the floor mat option as all the fast cars have that. LOL

See ya soon hopefully

True on the mats. No floor mats would have been a deal breaker.

Beautiful GT3!!
Full wrap is an excellent idea, especially on a black car.Take it to the track, you're going to LOVE it!

Welcome back to the fold.

I did the same, but my GT4 wasn't as fast as yours
