Mike -
Congratulations on your new GT3, as everyone has noted it looks beautiful. And thanks for taking time to report out on your experiences so far, it really is insightful for those of us thinking about one in the future (near or far). Like you, I am only familar with regular PDK so your assessment of PDK-S is helpful. One question for you, have you had a chance to test out the more neutral balance of the 991 GT3? Appreciate your thoughts when you have a break from driving.

Congrats Mike!!

Best GR pics I have seen hands down! Car looks fantastic.

Based on your post, your heart is not in the car ready for delivery. If the remaining 30% configuration is important to you I would pass. You are looking at probably less than 90 days to get the car you want.

Jeff,
What does it have, what is it missing? Personally, I am all about the details in my cars, so if something was missing, it would bug me to no end. Some people could care less...which are you?

Thanks, stronbl. I'm still breaking the car in (didn't get to drive it much today or yesterday; long road trip tomorrow) and honestly I haven't pushed it hard enough yet to evaluate it's behavior anywhere near it's limits. I've taken turns at extra-legal speeds and it stays planted and goes exactly where you point it, but then any current Porsche will do that without drama. The test for me will be when the car is broken in and I autocross it for the first time in another month or so. The tail out slides and other shenanigans that the magazine/video journos pull to find the limits of the car, are not something I'm willing to do on public roads around here.

I came to my senses and realized I should wait..!

Means there is a GT3 out there...somewhere..waiting for an owner...

Thanks for the kind words on the pics. I've been leaving my Canon DSLR and lenses at home recently because I've been wanting to try out the new Sony RX100M2 that I got for Christmas. It's classified as a "pocket camera" but it's got a nice Carl Zeiss 1.8 lens and a ton of cool creative features. It's so easy to slip into my pocket or the glovebox and not have to worry about the big Canon rolling around, yet I've been very happy with the photos it takes.[/QUOTE]

Best picture hands down. Love your small camera. Much better than DSLR. Sony surprises me sometimes. Have you checked out Sony A7R

Mike in CA

silverrules, Sony A7R is a very impressive camera and I wouldn't mind owning one. I'm guessing you do. For a "backup" camera, I wanted something I could literally slip into my pocket, which I can do with RX100M2. Especially when out and about while travelling, it's nice to not have to deal with a camera bag or a camera dangling from your neck, yet still be able to take a quality picture.

Mike - was that your car parked at Skyline Blvd and La Honda / 84 near Mountain Terrace on Saturday? I was at a wedding in the area, and saw a shiny new red GT3 (as well as a silver one at the end of the day).

Very nice. It definitely looks worth 2 of my C2.

My car was still safely in the garage today when I got back from a weekend away so it wasn't me. Thanks for the positive red car comment though!

That was my car - the other red GT3

Mike in CA

I figured it probably was, Max, but I wasn't going to say anything....

I also saw a silver GT3 on the road that looked like 991, and a 997 blue one that day.

Congrats Mike - this color scheme is hard to beat. Just like my old 997.2.
