Congratulations Jerry, love to see pictures. I'd like to hear the details of your trade etc. I have a 13 991 4S which is pretty loaded. I've been thinking about upgrading to a GT3 but I'm not willing to take a 60k+ hit on my car. Love to know how you made it work, feel free to PM me.

Also, I've never been in a GT3. How would you compare it to the 991 as a DD? That's important to me.

Also, which dealer did you work with? I'm in Massachusetts as well.

Ivan

I'm so sorry for the people who live in the real winter weather. Growing up in Southern California I never had such a problem.

I have the 18 way which they ending up sending me a refund check for the cost of them! They're very nice seats around town and the highway.

I had GT2 seats in my 2010 GT3 so I'm going to put in my new GT3 later this winter. Im also going to install a GMG or RRS roll bar later this winter.
Can't wait till to get it on a track early next season!::

Regarding the DD: The cars are the same for wheel base and platform so the drive characteristics are the same, however there is little or no insulation in the GT3. So the GT3 on a DD basis is going to have a lot more road noise. In addition the basic suspension setting is stiffer than your 991 4S. So the ride quality will be harsher. What you get in trade is a much more driver focused/connected car in the GT3. The 991 series cars (S, 4S, Turbo, etc) are great everyday cars most any driver will handle well - they are quite driver friendly. The GT3 demands your attention while driving. If that is what you are after then the GT3 is the right choice. However if you are looking for a smooth comfy ride that coddles you with comfort, relative silence and great stereo sounds while cruising down the road the 991 is a better choice.

GregJGT3, some of your past "girlfriends" are lusty indeed. What model was the 250GT? Must have been amazing driving them.

BTW, your current ladies are quite the fine lot too.

Thanks they were pretty sweet relationships. The Ferrari was a 250GT PF Cabriolet. Unfortunately the "signature" option does not allow for enough characters to put any detail in. I had to leave off some great rides like: '08 Corvette Pratt and Miller C6RS, M3, M5, Z8, etc. I have been VERY fortunate to have a loving and EXTREMELY understanding wife!!

Here are a few photo's of my new 2015 GT3!
I drove it 891 miles its not clean but who cares!!
Did I mention I drove those miles with the shipping blocks still in the shocks, the dealer forgot to remove them when preping for my delivery!!

It's an awesome car as my fellow GT3 owners know!!

I note the intersting seems in your seats. They now have a "bead" in them instead of the double French stitch (as seen in the 918 spyder seats). I hate to think that Porsche has now changed that as well!

YOCOHO,
Just curious. Are these seats a special order with the "beaded" seams? Good eyes GregJGT3. Are there any one else out there with similar seats?

Step away from the ledge. AFAIK the 2014s also have single row stitching on the upper part of the seat.
