Default NEW TO ME GT3

I acquired a 2020 GT4 last year as well as a 997.1 C2S with X51 and a bunch of useful mods.

I found a 991.1 F engine GT3 with 11,000 miles on it and am in the process of trading in my two cars for that one. While the GT4 hasn't even completed 800 miles, I haven't opened it up beyond 4500rpm after test driving the GT3 I cannot imagine it can give me the same level of excitement that the GT3 does.

The car still has warranty for a couple of years and hopefully if anything is to go wrong with it, it will before the warranty is up.

I have owned a 997.2 GT3 and a 996.2 GT3 in the past. The newer one really feels like the perfect street/tract car.

I suppose I will now be lurking on this forum quite a bit.

I did indeed! The 997.1 was the best car I ever owned and so it still sticks to the brain! I presume the 997 is going to relegate that to second place.

Maybe a 991.2 RS if can ever afford one. Until then I must suppress those whispers!

Drive and track it hard.
I had an F-engine in my 36k mile GT3 replaced with a G-engine earlier this year,
