My "New" GT2
Well, here it is. These are iPhone photos, so the quality is not very good. I will be posting better SLR pics later in this thread
AT GMG:
CHECK OUT THE 599 ON THE LIFT
TRAILERING IT HOME:
(THIS IS THE TRAILER I BOUGHT-MY WIFE SAYS NOW I HAVE OFFICIALLY JOINED THE "TRAILER TRASH" CROWD)
BAD *** GMG EXHAUST

That is one beautiful car.
What are your plans, cruise around Vegas or track it (or both)?
If you do track it, will you do any mod's?
Chuck is right, the weather looks nice, really nice compared to our crap weather.
Did I mention how nice your new car is, damn you.

Bring it out to Spring Mountain. Great place to exercise it. PM me if you are interested. No affiliation. My GT3 resides out there. The track is great. I will be out there Jan 24 and 25.

FIRST, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS. Since coming on to the forum I really sense the good will with with business is done here. Thanks.
Here are my first impressions:
1. The car is solid, the engine is the smoothest high performance engine I have ever experienced. I have not used the radio because the engine is the music. I'm amazed. (Even my M Coupe's S54 pales in comparison, and that's saying a lot).
2. I have stepped on it a few times when I had a straight road ahead of me and the car is a rocket. I picked up speed, but I can tell I haven't even used 60% of the cars potential. My plan is simply to use common sense and respect the laws of physics.
3. Very comfortable. I'm 6'4", 225 lbs and fit great.
4. The GMG exhaust is LOUD! When the Turbos kick in, it changes tone. Out of this world! Sounds like a lower octave formula 1 engine, awesome!
(My wife has had it with what she calls my "Black girlfriend with the big ***", and she's now calling me to watch her DVR'd episode of "The Bachelor", which is part of my purgatory for getting the car, so I have to leave the rest for later)
One thing though, I hear a rattle during acceleration (not constant) which clearly is a metal on metal vibration, such as heat shield rattle or something. It's not internal to the engine. Any ideas?
