GT# is a special car but bling bling it is not. Besides for the street it's best to say it's not a great cruiser especially on less then perfect roads. If your S.O. or girlfriend or whatever amuses you is not a car enthusiast they going to hate the ride. It rattles/squeaks/suspension noises name it its there but if you track alot man almity what a grreat car. You mite regret buying one if just for bling bling. Regards. Mike

Ok so I don’t get this thread..... do you want us to justify the purchase of the GT3 for you??? If so then go for it man!!! And Have fun (Sort of) I know for fact that my car was almost sold to 2 guys in Austin that where going to use it for the same factor as you (BLING) and the guys at the dealership where able to sale the gentleman on 997. (Number one reason beeing they wanted the GT3 to be on the right hands of someone that will use the care the way it was ment for) Also make sure you get Yellow for the same BLING factor I been around with some other GT3 owners and with cars sitting side by side and no body realy notice the other cars unless you point out that they are GT3 as well. (Well most of the time)

Any way I just have to say that IF GLING is the Game is the wrong care if it is a DREAM then well come to the club

I think this is a troll. Amusing to read, but a troll.

The logic is that a GT3 is really good on the track as delivered (after the sway bars are tightened and the alignment checked) and quite acceptable on the street.

After 2 months of ownership, I finally got my wife in the car. Halfway though a hill country drive on the way to dinner, I had her drive it.

She pretty much hated it, and stated 'no wonder you have back problems.' LOL. (I personally think its very daily-drivable, but coming from her Lexus SUV, it was torture.)

The question remains, if money is no object and you want BlInG and don't care about track performance, get a phooking turbo.

get a turbo...with all the after market body mods ect, seems like it would fit your poseur desire best...and would be much more noticeable to the laymen(general public) vs. the GT3

All right, all right, I admit it. The truth is the GT3 has given me instant rock star status. Mine came delivered with some tennis player, Mary Sharapova or Shakapova or something. She's apparently one of these GT3 groupies.

I've actually never been to a racetrack. But the chicks love hearing my "race stories".

And that wing thing on the back is a bloody convenient place to set up some refreshments for the ladies.

Go for it!

People that have seen me on track might argue that I'm a poser...

Hell, I have gotten laid a few times at starbucks just for mentioning that I want a GT3.

Hey Babe, you might be interested in knowing that I want a GT3. Perhaps we could share a double extra whip mocha frappa cornholio? Have you seen my guns? The rest is history . . .

GT-3 with some Chrome 20" would look pretty cool - Everybody would think you are the MAN.
Just remember getting A/C is weak in a car like this. And can i suggest Gran Prix White (special order color, be the only one on the block)

Maybe he should get TWO! The only thing more impressive than a single GT3 is TWO GT3s: One for you and one for your manservant.

Sounds like he should buy the gayman S instead.
