Default Just purchased a GT3

Hey guys,
So I woke up yesterday with no intention of purchasing a GT3... just was going to go into the store and look at one that was delivered by the original purchaser was unable to buy. Saw it, loved it... ended up trading in my brand new Macan and driving home with it. Still have the gitters, but it is an amazing car. Just thought i'd share...

It was a shared Macan with myself and my girlfriend. She was ok with it. Black on black, red stitching we alcantera, sport seat (not buckets), brusched aluminum trim, red tach, fire extinguisher (that was the straw that broke the back). Its how i would have done it... basically. I have a 2014 cayman S that i track extensively, and i love that car. This is a whole different beast. I have a 430 scuderia and a Carrera GT... and this car just oozes the same type of fizz as those with a much greater sophistication in terms of interior finish... suitable for a daily driver. But when i take it up to speed, you can feel the car squat down, you can feel the tires grabbing onto the road during sweepers... the total lack of any perceivable roll. Im still in shock over the purchase... as it was so quick... but the car is phenomenal.

Sounds like you could of kept the Macan and just added the GT3. On the other hand you could just get a GF with a car LOL.
