Congrats man. Same color as mine. Guards red. I have the red theme inside mine which is a plus. The gt3 platform is fantastic. But so is the gt4. Put foot to *** and it will scoot just as well as any car. Now go get an exhaust to wake up the beaat
Love lizard green!! Are you in Rochester by chance??
!
Buffalo suburb (Clarence)---what kind of Doc are you?
My buddy from med school is an Orthopod there and sees another Lizard RS there from time to time.
P.S.-- I have clear side markers from my 991.1 that will not fit on the RS, if you are interested in buying?
No roll bar and harnesses with those seats though...
Love the car and color! Congrats!
For the 2/3 events I do a year - I found they were too much of a pain and prevented me from driving the car more.. thanks for the compliments

Im a family doc - my wife is a radiologist.
I've never seen a lizard RS in Syracuse. There are UV and a Lava .1 RSs but no Lizards. Theres a new Lizard .2RS in Rochester who's a neurosurgeon - with mag wheels.
Yes- Id absolutely be interested in buying the clear sides
I agree on the GT4...underpowered...I don't care if they don't depreciate...they need another 30-50 bhp in my opinion. Maybe the upcoming 4.0 will help it, I think it picks up about 40 hp.
I recall test driving a GT4 with the 3.8 and I didn't like it either.

yes, I should have clarified, my friend is in Rochester, that's why I figured you asked if I lived there.
PM me about the side markers.
I also had the Sharkwerks bypass on my 991.1 GT3...highly recommended.
Hello everyone!!! I figured I’d introduce myself- I’ve been lurking on the forums for a year or so and finally got a GT3 so I wanted to say hi and discuss this car’s future value.... just joking, I know how popular and infrequent value threads are.
I live in Syracuse NY which is a really small Porsche community to the point I can name everyone with a .1 and a .2 GT3. The point is I entered the Porsche world this winter by buying a GT4 thinking I’d love it. I tracked a bunch with bmw cca and am in the Solo run group and had 4 previous Ms that I loved and convinced myself that a GT car was the next evolution. So I started searching and found a great 2016 guards red GT4 this winter. It had full buckets, I put in harness, roll bar had a local race shop do full adjustments and I was pumped!!!
Then i started to drive the car and loved it on the streets. Loved the manual for around town but my wife who also tracks hated it. I taught her how to drive manual (she only tracked dct cars) and thought we were good. She continued to say she’d never drive it on the track and wanted a GT3 pdk. I hesitated but said let’s give the car a chance (started searching for a GT3 anyway) - but the more I drove the less I liked it. The seats were absolutely terrible (I’m I big guy so getting in and out was a comedy itself) and I found myself never able to drive it (I could never take it to work as I have a toddler who I drop off at daycare) and on weekends there is always too little time to just have me drive.
So so a few weeks ago I took it to Wakins Glen for its first track event and I came away hating the car. I loved the manual for the streets but it was slow as hell on the track. The car itself was lightweight but I found unsettled because of the weight over the bus stop and curbs . The biggest issue- it’s way under powered. Also- with a Hans and helmet- even with seat brackets, my head was rubbing on the ceiling. In addition- the seats were the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been in and I’ve been in race seats. Needless to say I really made the push to find a pdk GT3 and admitted the wife was right, this wasn’t the car for us.
I found my GT3 after a few months of looking and 2 weeks of hardcore searching. I just made the 6 hr drive down with the gt4 and 6 hr drive back up with the new GT3 after finding it at Tyson’s Corner Porsche. It’s a 2016 CPO (my GT4 wasn’t cpo’d), 18 way seats and I’ve never loved a car as much as this one. Even after the 6 hrs drive home I didn’t want to stop driving it!!!

We agree with FrstPorsche, GMG Exhaust is a MUST! But we may be a tad bit biased..
Congrats! I've owned a lot of "stuff" and driven a lot of "stuff" and it is my opinion that the GT3 is the best car out there bar-none. If there wasn't that underlying finger follower issue, this may be the most perfect car ever made.
Oh wow, so that's your GT4 sitting at Tyson's right now. I was there that same day you collected your GT3 and your GT4 was sitting outside about to be backed into the showroom. I stopped by that afternoon to chat with my SA. At first I thought it was my buddy's car with very similar specs, but then I noticed the NY inspection stickers and the track scrubbed tires and knew it couldn't have been his. If track days is a huge part of the car, this was a very worthwhile trade up.
