As for the GT3: the best ever car decision I made, no looking back, there is only one car for me now; just superb!
How in the world did we miss another GT3? Where were you paddock'd? What color GT3? White one from your avatar?

I came close to doing just that. Next time we talk I have one crazy story to tell you.
I love the car and will do anything to keep her, thanks again for selling her to me.

It's crazy isn't it, darn it. Mine is a 7-3, but nevertheless, would have loved to have couple drinks afterwards. Yes, mine is white, #55, I was paddock at the corner of the second island from the garages, next to a silver GT2. I remember seeing SH||NC's car without recognizing, but I did not see LV's car. You were both in red group I assume, we were on the track at the same time, and did not even know

The interior looks like the Panamera's ! What's up with that ?
Gt Purely is recommending to buy a clean 6 GT3 if you can find one.
Sorry Dell, more Salt
Of course... been saying this all along

Yup, we chose CMP over VIR this weekend. So worth it. 10-15 at most per group. More track time than we could handle. Zone 2 got tired for me a couple years ago when it was over 250 entrants and 60+ cars in red. NO FUN!!!

Are you going to be at VIR in May with FSR for the 3 day event? We will have a LARGE group from The Triangle coming up.

Yes, I certainly understand. Our red group was great, just the right amount of cars, was black group was really bad, and it made some drivers even more aggressive IMHO.

I will absolutely be at the FSR event, we'll definitely hook up then

Late to the party, but agree 100% Dell. I purchased an 06S Cab as a DD down at my second place in Alabama (long story), and have put a few thousand miles on it over the last few months (Tail of the Dragon last wekeend for instance). Yesterday, I headed to the track at MMP in Utah to check out the toys, and took the GT3 for a drive....

OMG - Let's just say that there is NO comparison between the "6" and the "S". What a car! The feedback is phenomenal, and I hope to always have the privledge of driving it...

Buy the damn car!!!!!

Dell, we give you permission.

Your wife should accept that we only want what's best for you.
