I have not heard of warranties being voided for DE's.

There is only 1 problem with the ACR, where I live. Here it costs 203.000 USD VAT included, but other taxes excluded. That prices it well above a GT3, and a little above a GT3RS. That's just toooooo much !

With unlimited funds Id have all three. If I could only have one it would be the P1.

Saw this one at Cars and Coffee in La Jolla last week. They gave it the premier spot on the patio, which has a trellis over it, casting shadows and weird lighting artifacts in the photos. It was fully track prepped, but I never saw the owner to ask him about it. It was immaculate, though, and looked brand new and unused yet.

Color looks great, but I'm a sucker for primer and sand colors .

Really looking forward to experiencing this car. I was lucky enough to get a GTS-R Allocation. Now the waiting game until Spring...

Nothing but great reviews from GT3 owners past and present which I trust more than any review out there but great reviews all around nonetheless. Glad this thread was made as I was skeptical last summer but quickly realized the car is a gem and truly special.

Really cool - great color and love the subtle black American flag on the side. I'll bet La Jolla Cars and Coffee gets some very special machines too. Lived in Rancho Santa Fe for years - great driving there.

LJC&C is a small gathering compared to others, but makes up for it in exotic quality over volume. Props to HG Motorsports for organizing the events. BBI has sponsored it as well, and so far the venue (The Lot) and the community have accepted and welcomed it, unlike some of the other C&C events in San Diego (Carlsbad comes to mind). Hope it lasts...

Rancho Santa Fe is a beautiful little village, quite gentrified, exclusive and expensive now. The roads are definitely beautiful to drive, but quite crowded nowadays. They also have the Secret Car Club which displays some amazing machinery in town every once in awhile. Some awesome collections are tucked away on estates there.

Not track prepped actually. Does not have aero extensions in place and hood/fender vents are still in place. Car has an amazing presence and the pace to back up the look.

Couldn't agree more. The wait will be agonizing for my 1 of 1 PTS ACRE but so worth it. Courtney at Viper Exchange has been awesome during the ordering process. Could not ask for a more knowledgeable, passionate, and honest sales rep. Porsche could learn a few lessons from her and Dodge on how to properly treat their customers.

Ran a 1:51:0X driving a Friends ACR-E at Buttonwillow on Hoosiers did 6-7 laps and bam. Not bad! My buddy was passenger, he's the one yelling owner of the wrapped GT3 is really nice. We played a bit of cat and mouse and switched lead. GT3 is on Hoosiers and has all the cup car bits. Think it's by HG Motorsport



The car is amazing. I had a TA. This was unreal. Car is so sharp, responds so well, so agile. Still feels like a big M3. Easy to drive
