I'd say 1 or 3, but leaning more towards 1 first, then 3.

430's suck
They certainly aint as purdy as the outgoing 360, just saw all the snaps in Car and Forza? and I'm not excited about it. The front end tratment looks wrong, it seems more bloated and less timeless.
I look forward to seeing the CS variant, maybe they'll use a different nose?

Hey Rockit, sweet car. Do you prefer Lime Rock or Watkins Glen?

advice?
Well, since you asked, I'd vote for #3. Where's that poll when we need it?

Watt:

IMHO, the car pictured above (or one remotely like it) is not worth anywhere near a "cheap" GT3, no matter who the engine-building genius was who put it together. Pass.

You can get to 2,700 lbs. on a GT3, I guarantee it. I may even go part way there with you.

You can select Option 3 while you ponder Options 1-2.

Wattster -- Stick with option #3, couldn't bear to see you abuse yet another GT3. Buy low, sell lower!

On second thought, three "3's" for the Wattster in less than a year -- that's got to be a new record.

Rastamon Jack,

my cars are so clean even you buy them when i'm done... given that artic one iin your garage came crystal clean all cream puffy and only had Cubans smoked in it by me.

and you are the travesty!!! - that Rap and Rice package you put on your Stradale was a nightmare worse than Kerry. And i don't even want to get into the long list of Guido Junior Mafioso cutesey appliques you put all over your GT2.....

You're right Wattster -- it was very clean...... after getting all the deferred maintenance/warranty work done, the repaint, the double deodorizer treatment and the re-upholstery job. Perfect for a track car, especially after the low ball selling price.

Pump and dump....pump and dump.....pump and dump -- you are my hero!

My dear friend, Wattster: No doubt...the condition of your garage tells the story. No wonder you have to sell those nice cars within 6 months -- any biohazard waste in there.
