Default New GT3 owner...First post here

Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to post a quick intro. I have been meaning to do this for a while.

About 2 weeks ago I just purchased my first GT3 and I am totally stoked. My dream as a kid was to have a 911 Turbo pne day....as I got into racing well, the GT3 is where it's at. I still want a Turbo (trying to convince the wife that she should buy this instead of an M3, I think I am wearing her down).

It's a 2004 white on black. About 13k miles, all stock except for the RS wing.

It will become a very active track and autocross car.

Hoosiers have arrived (were actualy ordered before the car arrived..LOL), waiting on wheels to arrive as well as muffler bypass pipes.

Wife and I did our 17 pass detail job this past weekend and it looks amazing!

I have been a RL member for quite a few years and I will admit to lurking around this forum for months trying to find information, etc. and am really impressed with the demeanor of most people here as well as the vast expanse of knowledge.

Please don't bash me too hard for stupid questions... I have been racing a while but the GT3 is a new beast for me.

I will try to post some pics soon.

Anyway, Wife and I are heading to Mid-Ohio this afternoon for the ALMS race to watch and do some photography.

Very Happy to be a part of the GT3 owners club!

Jeremie

There is a MORPCA Porscheplatz in the infield. Stop by. Unfortunately I'm not attending.

Congrats on the new car! You'll love it.

Did you end up making it there? My wife and I were there also on Friday, and then on Saturday during the Monsoon!
