Following up to my previous thread - Thought about all the things that enamored me with the GT3, watched the videos again and did the math - concluded it's a no brainer. I'm back in folks - car arrives in a month. Built to my original spec. Can't frickin wait. I'll miss my 991S dearly, but it's a whole new level. And in the unlikely event I want to go back to an S, it will be a very easy transition.

Sweeeeeeet and welcome back Congrats.

 

You will not be disappointed, great decision!!

 

Welcome back Sean. 991S is a great car. The GT3 is way more car. You have chosen wisely.

 

Well done, Sean!

 

We are like the Mob; you can never leave. We pull you right back in

Gt3 on a whole different playing field - welcome back!!

 

So glad you are are back in! Mine arrives around the same time.

 

I now have roughly 400 miles. Have been unable to dirve it during the week so reason for lack of miles. Put 50 miles on her this morning. Dare I say - this car is freakin fast. I am almost done breaking her in. Have not surpassed 7000 rpms but we are almost finished with that restraint. I will say this; I though my 207 997.2 Turbo with a full FVD sport exhaust was fast but this thing will take it - no doubt. Figure this car is Turbo fast with more of an analog experience if that makes any sense. No lag, no extra all-when weight, and a screaming 9000 rpm animal that just makes people stop and gawk. I am not one for embellishment but every time I drive her I like her even more. Plus, I can definitely tell it is more alive now at 400 miles than the first 100.

 

Have you ever driven a .2 GT3? Just curious if you have and could compare the driving experiences.

 

I have not. I had a slot back in 2010/11 but late 2009 when I want to sell my Cayman S for the money I found at the same time a 2007 Turbo with 700 miles in red w/ full carbon package and center console and seat back factory painted GR. Still have a place in my heart for her.

 

Thanks guys. Now that I'm past the decision point i feel awesome. And wait for word that it's on a boat. Looked at the vw logistics web site. Two boats leave Emden around the 18th and go to Brunswick. I think kencollinsjr and I may be shipmates. Anyone else??


Anyone up for road atlanta on 11/22??

 

I'm signing up for the Nov 14- 16 at VIR tomorrow. Just hope my car delivers earlier than Nov 14th. Won't have much time to put on miles!!

 

Sure would love to be there and VIR , and Sebring with Chin's red group

Some of us C cats still stuck in the waiting room

Painful na , not at all , but praise be to the RL board on a Sunday morning

 

Sean awesome your back in already. Think of it this way you got out and back in before I even get my car. What's color and spec on your new beast? Congrats you are now our first category D, I'm calling Porsche they need to give you double comp!

 

I'd join but mine doesn't arrive until the end of Jan. :/
