Wow what a day.
Took back roads to a castle in Eisenach then on to Wurzburg to Schloss Steinburg.
Was easy on the revs and have put approx 450km in the car.
Hunted down some high performance Audi's and BMW's on the autobahn. Car it very stable at 250km/hr. Cruised at about 175-180kph. Ride was taught but acceptable.
Wind gusts are very noticeable when crossing large open bridges and flat areas.
There was two long tunnels.... Cool sound with sports exhaust button. Nice rasp when gear changes.

I agree 'Viper' is an awesome color. But I thought your .2 997 gt3 RS was 'RS Green' and not 'Viper'. The colors are related...but not the 'same'!

The museum was pretty cool
I've visited the factory in 2010 but did not do Euro delivery due to 2' of snow at the time.

Without a doubt, 'us' Canadians are the winners of the most beautiful Paint-to-Sample gt3s as a percentage of total gt3s sold in our respective markets!



'Riviera Blue' - Jamie140
'Gulf Blue' - Coneklr
'Modegrau' - <3mph
'Viper Green' - H82BL8
'Signal Green' - z356 (Honorary Canuck)

Who else?



Saludos, eh!

Today went from Baden Baden to Stuttgart.
Took museum tour and factory plant tour.
Museum was very good and we had a private tour guide. A lot of good insite into Porsche
The factory tour was terrible. The has us so restricted to where we could go due to production runs of future models. What a let down. Saw a guy picking up 918 for euro delivery. Tried looking for anything unusual. No RS sighting. There was GT3 still coming off the line today.
Hit the autobaun to Munich for tonight.

Glad to hear you are having fun. The Viper Green is outstanding. I got delayed in Eisenach for 3 days once waiting on tooling being built for a BMW project I was working on at the time. Probably the best delay I've ever spent.

Your car is Porsche Green, not Viper. Same as my 7.2 RS.




Viper Green on right

Here we go again. Major, are you telling the person that carefully & diligently custom ordered his gt3 in 'Viper Green', an approved Porsche PTS color with code '225', that you know he didn't get what he ordered? And that PAG made a mistake?

By the way, there is no such color as 'Porsche Green'? There is 'Green', which was the 'RS Green' specially formulated for the MY2007/2008 gt3 RS. It is color code 2D8. What is the color code of your so-called 'Porsche Green' vehicle?





And finally, are you by chance a leprechaun! Because if you are, you are entitled to ONE free pass in saying anything you want at our forum. But after that, normal rules apply.

Michael:

Will you be in Stuttgart on Sunday 19th? I arrive that day.
I made a request to have a private tour of Porsche Exclusive and was granted this for the 20th - our factory day.
Any chance you saw my turbo S? Super excited for you man!

Henry: When you talk to Sven Theis and the others at 'Porsche Exclusive', can you try to get clarification on the PTS situation as it impacts gt3 production? Are they planning to continue gt3 production into early MY2016 (e.g. June and July builds)? Will they allow PTS on these .1 gt3s if they continue to be build for the next several months? Can you ask them why they decided to build these 30 PTS late gt3s in 'Signal Green', 'Arena Red' and 'Modegrau'? Who chose those colors and why? Who chose the odd specs and why? Merci!

And finally, post photos of your 'Birch Green' beauty ASAP!

Eduardo
