LOL. I was shooting the schit with Ray offline, as he has been driving both the 997S and the GT3 on track. My enthusiasm is restored. Here's my current plan:

Install all the stuff I have, buy some track wheels with Hooters (been running around on Corsas for street and track), get all the safety gear in and wait out the first year of production on the 997 GT3 to see how the car shakes out.

In the meantime, I'm first on the list for a Cayman Club Sport if indeed one is made and brought to the US. Not as a replacement, but as an addition to the garage.

Cheers.

You may want to see this thread on Rennteam for some new GT3 info (from Walther Rohrl). It's quite a few posts in from the beginning:

Great info in that thread. . . must_excercise_restraint_.

A 997 GT3RS huh? If *that* came to the US, well, you know what I'm thinking.

I guess I'll have to go back to calling them Hoosierdaddies for the rated PG crowd.
