i am rusty too, about 5 seconds slower than two years ago when i actually drove. now i just hold on and pray.

you and kill off PASM. just call lex and get MCS.
it's a safety issue, not mod. we all know dell doesn't mod anything. just look at the stock turbo

While I would love to have Lex hook me up, yet again, I just cannot do anything right now. Remember, I'm building a new garage with a house attached to it

In all seriousness though, I think with the right suspension on this car, it would be a dream to drive and faster than my 6.

You'd think we'd learn. Latest and greatest isn't always the best.

Sadly it is. I just need to figure out what my wife can drive after she heals from from her leg injury. If I have to get a flappy paddle track car for her, then there will be no 6GT3 being added to the garage.

Great pics Dell - thanks for sharing. The BEST decision I ever made in 2006 was to cancel my 7.1 GT3 order and purchase a 6.2 GT3. (Rennlisters helped me make that decision btw)

I think you need to get another trailer, and store the 6 in it (instant garage expander!)...

Just sayin'...

There will be NO MORE trailers in my future. If I can't drive it to the track, I don't drive.

It was a little coolish in the morning, but it was a fantastic time (barely) keeping up with Dell and Randy!

Jealous as well, great pics! For those of us who live north in the frozen tundra we can only admire and live vicariously through fellow Rennlisters!

Its almost snowmobile season for me now!

Dell Why the "No more Trailer" stance? If my track car had windows in it, I'd do away with my enclosed trailer and just use my open trailer and call it good. Makes for far less stress getting the car home after that inevitable "off" or breakage in mechanical parts.

There's more to the story that just "no more trailer" which I can share with you over a beer in the spring.
