Congrats!!! Awesome to see you finally got her. Been waiting for you to take delivery. The silver wheels are pretty rare and look great on whiten. Nice job on the build. Can't wait to meet her in the spring.

Its just wonderful to read about folk' first impressions of the car once its in their hands! Its a surreal experience and one that is hard to describe to anyone else. Your car is a stunner, enjoy!

Pretty pic of a beautiful car on a fine Maryland country road sporting fall colors.

Enjoy the ride.

It came with Dunlops! I may be the only one who got them! So far I am not

The wear factor is the biggest issue for me. I don't expect 5000 miles on the
rears with normal street driving. The way I drive.

I got the clear with LEDS that emit orange light.

Just in the little bit I drove it I swear it feels faster than the 2014 that I drove at Barber. I wonder if they tweeked the chip in the 2015s?

cheers
I will let you know. But I wonder if anyone else that got their 2015 has Dunlops? They might track theirs before me.
So far I am the only one with Dunlops? I wonder if PAG
decided to send them to me as a test? HAHHAHA

Took her out for a spirited night run!
I don't know, but I REALLY think the 2015s have a bit more
low end torque than the 2014 I drove at Barber.
And I haven't even broke her in yet!

Aren't these cars already broken in from the factory? What does the GT3 manual day for break-in?

When I say broken in... I mean safe to go to 9000 RPM.
I'm keeping it below 5000 rpm until about 700 miles, then below 7000 RPM
until 1000 miles, then inch it up until 1200 miles. Change oil and let her rip.
I think the manual says first 1200 miles is break in. Much has been discussed on this in this forum. Many opinions.

Sweet looking Guards Red dials ... funny the way they can be kept entirely black during night driving (keeps the ambient cockpit light down). Ready for tracking in the spring?! Did you get urethane for front end?

Mine gets the same done on Monday. It'll be a relief.
Were your lights done?

Wow, congrats!

Wish I would have known you were taking delivery. I have a 2014 gt3 and I'm 25 mins north of Porsche of Rockville.
