Default GT Sliver GT3 delivered

Hi Everyone, been lurking on this forum for quite a while. Today I finally took delivery of my GT3 which arrived just before Christmas. My SA John L and everyone at PFAFF made my long wait a little less miserable.

Not the perfect season to take delivery, but had the opportunity to drive it for 5kms to the storage facility. Coming from a .2 RS, and Superleggera, was expecting this car to be bit on the soft side. Which is NOT, its one of those cars that you felt just right within minutes. Having driven many PDK cars, this PDK-S is totally different, and the GT3 is not an upgraded version of Carrera S, or a GTS. The gear box shifts quick and almost felt and sounded like the E-gear on my 08 superleggera (which I loved btw), more of a mechanical feel to it.

Can't comment any further with this little seat time, but I wish it has a option of reverse camera (can't see S*** when parking).


The whole journey with the GT3 is wait, wait and more wait... it going to be another 2 months until next drive, but I guess I am used to it.... patience.... and more patience.

Cheers to everyone, congrats to those who's got one and expecting one, its a special machine indeed.


Kevin

Thanks everyone, it was the hardest decision cause every color is nice on this car.

And justifying $3k+ on a silver color, but so glad I went with it... It isn't just any silver, it's looks very rich and deep in real.

Congrats on the GT Silver fellow Canadian. Mine is coming out of the same dealership. Looks like we're in for some major snow tomorrow, lucky you had a chance to pick her up today.

Not a fan of normal silvers, but GT silver is fantastic. Congrats!

Congrats. Yes, I fell for the paying >$3 grand for a "special colour" too! Totally worth it though as I plan to keep this car for a long time, and the exterior colour is definitely something you want to get right for yourself. Messy weather here in T.O.

Congratulations! Looks amazing. I love GT Silver. I'm sorry the weather isn't cooperating on your end of the country.

Congrats! It really does look best with no front plate. You must have told them in advance not to drill the holes.
