Race Car
After a respectful 1000 mile break-in, I took my 3 to 9k. Holy sh*t, what a rush! I had been driving in manual and pulling the paddles myself up till then, as I didn't want PDK Sport to pull up to near redline. I hadn't really gone beyond 6-7krpm previously. However, it's a whole different animal when it's let off the hook.
Now that I've discovered it's true talents, I had to park it up and go on tour for the rest of the year. Should have beat up on it sooner...
Smoke 'em if you have 'em.

Vivian - I have been going to your concerts for many years - usually see you play at verizon wireless in irvine. Congrats on your long and outstanding career with DL and enjoy your gt3!

Vivian - Good to hear it's worth the wait. I'm still under 500 miles and holding back hasn't been easy. Just when you can sense the raw power coming on at 4500, you have to back off. It's so mild mannered for the first 4,500 RPM. I had to look up the HP curve to reassure myself this was the right car. Then I realized there's another ~240 HP after 4500. That's as much power as a 964!
30 year fan of DL. Caught the Dallas show in '09 and taking my son to the Austin show in August which is on his 15th birthday. Of all the reasons for letting a 3 sit in the garage, playing guitar for DL has to be the best!

Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone. If you see us coming through your city, drop me a PM and maybe we can grab a coffee/beer. I'm obsessed with all things automotive and I always like to talk P cars with like-minded folks.
In the meantime, enjoy your GT3s. While I'm traveling I have to get my car kicks vicariously through your R'list posts!

Besides, the best way to fight GT3 deprivation on tour, might be to arrange some canyon carving at 9K, behind the wheel of a local GT3 from a rennlister living wherever you're playing that week!

When hitting 9k it's like "Animal!"
Although spirited driving with "Armadeddon It" is amazing.....
Looking forward to seeing you on your next stop in Dallas/Texas!

That's why we need an upgraded stereo--because loud music and fast cars definitely DO go together!! The other thing in common is that great cars and great players like Vivian stand the test of time, while the pretenders fade away. Saw Van Halen a few weeks ago live on Hollywood Blvd. and he can still wail--and saw Clapton do a version of Voodoo Chile at the Greek just a few years ago that I still have not fully recovered from!
