Congradulations on the new car.

I might be the only one who dislikes the Hankook's. Don't get me wrong I don't dislike them enough to take them off of my M3 but I came from very stiff sidewall bridgestones on that car to the Hankook's which have a pretty soft sidewall and they just seem to take a bit of time to really take a set as you change directions. Once they do take that set they do have good grip, have been quite and ride nice for me it's just the direction change thing that bugs me.

Andy, are you talking street or track use?

So first impressions are very favorable, car is quite raw and I mean that in a good way. Thing is nasty and snarky,more so than I would have imagined. I see why most of these end up on track, that is where they belong. I love it!

Nice going, Phil!

Grant,
Was just about to send you an email, these are incredible machines, you need one. The howl at 8000 RPM is great, only problem is you need to be considerably exceeding speedlimit to experience it.

come next week, get an alignment done.
they go out of alignment often, for me anyways.
then to save your lower back, dump the oem seat and put in some recaro or euro GT3 seats. that's really all you need.

however, if you must **** more money away, feel free to contact me or mod king (aka dell). we will take your wallet.

i thought there's no speed limit in MT?

+1. The 996 GT3 feels like a throw-back 911.... I love driving it on the track... Congrats on the new acquisition!

Man reading this is killing me, as I sit... and wait... And wait some more...

Hope mine gets picked up tomorrow and is in Virginia by the weekend... I shoulda flown out and drove it back!!

It's pretty interesting that so many are being bought up within the last 90 days... For me, the big difference was the price of other 911s I was interested in. I really wanted a 40th anniversary edition 911. I figured it would make a great daily driver and I'd be able to get one in the high $30s. And then I didn't. Seemed everyone that wasn't used up was in the mid to upper $40s. And tha'ts to close to 996GT3 money, which is why we ended up shoppping 996GT3s... For me, It came down to what you get for what you spend. I'd have loved a 997.1GT3, but a decent no-stories car was near $80K. And I didn't want another 996TT to fight with trying to make into GT2 again. Been there, created that and don't want to do it again.

Oh and Congrats Phil. You got the fastest color.

Mooty,
had car aligned before I picked it up, we put speed limits back in place in MT a long time ago.

Street. I realize I'm being overly critical for a street tire, and maybe what I dislike about them is worse because they're on my heavy street car (e46 M3).

For cheap, round, street tires I prefer the Sumitumo HTR Z III over the 'Kook's.

The feedback from Damon was that the Sumi's where the way to go, not in stocke where I needed them
