Default My CWM finally arrived

This is my first GT3 and second Porsche. I am a relatively recent convert having owned many BMW’s and Mercedes AMG products. Before this I had a 991.2 C4S, which was a great car. I got into track driving/racing several years ago and had built an E92 into a race car. It was a blast to drive but being someone that does not wrench on my cars, it was a pain to coordinate all of the service and maintenance. That is how I decided on the GT3, something I can enjoy on the road, drive to the track and then home. At least that is my plan going into it. Knowing myself, I will probably have an enclosed trailer and a second set of wheels in 3 months. For now, I am absolutely thrilled with the car. Limited miles but have exercised her a little and really impressed. We have some horrible roads in AZ and when accelerating hard you are bouncing like crazy but traction does not break, the tires stay completely planted. I have spent a lot of money on custom track coil overs from the Netherlands and changed every bushing to spherical on my race car and this thing feels softer but grips better, which is what you want a race car suspension to do. Even though it feels softer, I don’t feel any body roll but no track time yet.

Below are a couple pictures, hope she stays looking this nice for awhile 😜

one mans junk is another mans treasure. This is a perfect example. You want to dump your car because you don’t like CWM and I love it! Different strokes for different folks…I say keep it but obviously I am biased.

Great car! That garage floor surface is cool too-is it just polished concrete?

Sweet man! Classic colour for GT products. Had it on 981 GT4 and 718 Spyder. Looks great. Also goes well with decals, light grey.

Congrats!

Agreed, FrostyAZ your car looks great. Enjoy.

Floor looks like epoxy clear coat over raw/stained concrete. I bet that holds up very well in AZ. No salt, cold & frosty stuff.

Beautifully done. I like the tasteful small door decals, and the way they tie into the wheels. Best of luck!
