My $39K GT3 Just became a $59k GT3 (i.e. "there is no cheap Porsche"!)

Or, you could fly to SLC with me one of these weeks and we can all go to lunch Scott! I have driven this car more than my 997 3RS and 991 3RS combined in the last 12 months.

I agree Scott. Every time I look at your / my 997.1 I think to myself that it's such a beautiful machine. she's up to 57k miles and I still drive it like I stole it
But yes, the 996/3 feels much more playful, more nimble, more pure. Even though they should be so similar on paper, the driving experience is completely different

Default Lunch or Track?

Indeed time to get together!

Are you doing the PCA DE day at AMP Oct 9th?

My car just back from Patrick MS.
Full engine out 17yo/37,000 mile car time- replace all rubber/plastic bits, clean it all up etc and KW clubsports for my dead stock Bilsteins.
Incredible improvement in both ride and handling.
feels like a new car! Super excited for the next 17yrs!

That's awesome! I totally wanted to do AMP, but kids are on Fall Break and I'll be in Hawaii! Once the weather cools down I should be good for a few track days! Did AMP a few months ago and it was a blast!
