I can't wait to get back behind the wheel....back on the track. My Happy place
Weather here right now is cold and rainy.....and 'just ugly'!
So you truly get year-round track season? All 12 months..? From what I understand there are some places that becomes too hot. Didn't really realize that was the case.
Some day I'll move to where I can get more 'driving season' out of the year.

This has been a completely different experience for me from the one with my 2014 GT3. With the new RS, I got a call from my dealer on 12/27 asking if I was still interested in getting an RS, and it now looks like it will be delivered in less than a month from when he gave me the call.
In the case of my GT3, I put my name on a list in March, 2013 and placed a deposit in July, 2013 when the allocation was confirmed. THe car arrived at the Port of Houston on 2/11/14, just in time for the stop sale due to the engine problem issue. After getting an engine swap in July, 2014, it was finally delivered to me on 8/7/14.

What's the old saying.......'Timimg is EVERYTHING'. Sooo true.
Congrats man!!

And don't you dare think ANY photos of an RS are boring!!!! Blasphemy!!!!!
Please continue to post pics. I enjoy seeing them since I'm not such a strong reader
I always want what I don't have. It's a sickness.

latest update....
My car has either already been loaded and left... or will be loaded and leaving the Port TODAY!!!!!!!
It's approx a 4-5 (not considering traffic) hour trip from the Port to my Dealer.
So... worst case.... I'll have her in my garage by tomorrow night.
Temp PPF wrap being applied Friday.
The reason for the temp PPF.... the livery will be fully covered with gloss PPF. So the graphics will go on first. HOWEVER, I want to enjoy the 'naked' white RS for a little bit before putting the graphics on. Hence the TEMP PPF going on Friday.
I expect to have the livery done sometime in late March/early-mid April. Right before the Smokies trip in April.
Who else has news?

Hoping you had nice weather to enjoy it and it's safely in the garage!!
No word on ours yet. Still at port waiting (as of this morning) for Reliable to pick it up. Should be on a truck Friday (but who knows....).

kinda what I was thinking! cant wait to see it once all his tweaks are completed.
So far since mine has made it safely home I have only accomplished a few things:
1. Sharkwerks bypass exhaust
2. clear side markers
3. Red R decals will hopefully be placed tomorrow.
BTW, these bucket seats are a freaking pain in the **** to get out of! When I place my order for the new GT3.2, will definitely get the sofas, as that car will be more of a daily, take the wife out car. Once in them they are great. However exiting is a tricky process! My dad and brother can't even get in the RS because of these seats! Funny.
Hope everyone has good weather soon to get out and drive these monsters!
