Default Another SB....

i was lucky enough to pick up 2015 SB GT3 on Friday and as many others have said "Wow". Driving to the dealership in my 991 C2S i was questioning why on earth would i take the depreciation hit and the cost to upgrade to GT3, the C2S is just such a great car. Test drove a black one and then i understood. Only have 200 miles on her so far, but its a far more visceral experience than the C2S and reminds me more of my 993 in that is a more raw, connected experience. trying to keep to 4200 rpm but its so hard........can't wait to get to 9K!

Beatiful, even as an owner of the same color, I can never see enough of them. What's the interior like?

it was on the showroom floor so i had no choice on the options, but i am happy with the standard interior it came with which has the 4 ways seats, no leather options, no carbon. i was planning to switch to carbon trim but i like the brushed aluminum in the GT3. i would have like the red dials and seat belts but its not big deal i don't have them.

Red seat belts are not that expensive although I would do yellow on your car. I have the red belts and like them. Funny mine does not remind me of my 993's.

No, not really. My dealer told me the same, as did the guys in Birmingham. I hit 9k 5 min after leaving the dealer....

Nice! I'm glad you were forced to skip red dials/seat belts.

Oh man, nice car.

I have the opportunity to get a SB GT3, but I would have to sell my 49K mile SY 993. I am so torn and confused.

My 991S is also too special to sell.

Good problems to have....

Congrats, SB is my favorite color. Should have listened to the voices in my head instead of getting white.

You are local, all the area GT3s should get a run together.
