V200 Status: Build an Athlete in a Suit, or Full-Track Poser?
#31
so... after a visit to the dealer all my priorities and thoughts got all screwed up... I thought long and hard and realized that I wouldn't be too upset at losing some of the money I put into options on this car as I really was building my dream car, and also... i fell in love with jet black.
so without further delay.. and praying to the gods of sanity that I don't change my mind again.. here is my fairly expensive, but oh so beautiful to me, final build. it's cohesive color-wise with just black grey and reds, hopefully in line with what a 2nd hand buyer wants, but definitely definitely what i've dreamed of. i had originally held off from even consider black because of all the maintenance people discussed, but realized that it's a rare car for rare days... and I just didn't care. plus... jet black, in sunlight is absolutely gorgeous to me after having seen it.
So, she is jet black, with full leather as well as extended dash and steering column and red stitching with red belts. I also added the $350 "porsche" script on the center armrest. Also have the buckets, because... I had to, and thesport chrono because it looks so cool. other notables are black headlights and front lift.. i ended up at $154.. which is a damn expensive build.. but in the end it doesnt matter... i fluctuate the price of options in equities on most days and don't think 2x about it... not sure why I agonized over this for so long.
trying to post the build spec below.. not sure if it will work but here goes.

EDIT: And I agree with mooty. Selling a GT3 after a year...LOL! More likely you'll be hooked for life. Will probably perform better than stocks over than next 3-5 years, too.
