Default Picked up this GT3 on Saturday!

Hello all,

I'm a new member to this forum. I'm coming from a E46 M3 and I just purchased a 996 GT3 this weekend. I drove it back from CT to the Philadelphia area and really enjoyed the trip. Looking forward to a few DE's later this year!

Nice. Congrats.

Did it come from a Rennlister?

Not hesitant about driving it in the salt?

Roads were pretty bad this weekend.

Very nice. Wish I could have got my hands on a white one. In the Philly area, you will find the local PCA has a very robust DE program, we'd love to have you come out and play with us.

Congrats on the new car!

congrats. Another E46 M3 guy here...I actually hung onto my E46 for nearly 8 years and finally got rid of her a couple months ago...really really miss that car.

You'll have whole new levels of fun in the GT3 though.

Congrats! You will love the car. I had an E46M3 and now have a E90M3 to go with my 6GT3. The GT3 will be much more nimble and viseral.

Full leather with deviated stitching is hot. That's exactly the combo I was after. Clearly the right car popped up for me in a different color. Beautiful ride you got there.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

KK2... Great minds think alike right? Haha. Nice rides!

Purschased it from a PCA member. Not sure if he's a member here.

The roads were not ideal but the temp was good, upper 30's, and it was sunny and dry so I went for it.

DE's....thinking about Pocono in May and MJMP in June. Maybe another later in the year.

Loved my M but I think this car is on a whole other level!

Need to do the coolant lines but the LSD was replaced with a guards in 2010.

Thanks everyone.
