Default My New Guards Red 996 GT3

As some of you may know, I bought the 996 GT3 for sale by forum member bigracks. FS thread here:

https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...moletsted.html

I brought the car home on Tuesday and have drive over 400 miles so far.

I plan to keep the car close to stock given the low miles and originality. So far the only modification is the Cargraphics mufflers.

It reminds me a cross between my 996 Turbo and NSX, which is what I hoped it would be. The GT3 has substantially more power than the NSX, but they rev similarly and are geared very similarly.

A few pictures from a small gathering this morning:

Thanks!

Can't wait for the car season to get into full swing as the weather improves.

Spring Vintage at Road America is a little more than a month away.

Thanks for all of the kind words.

An RS wing would look great...perhaps someday...

Very nice - love the color ("Yes I Am Speeding Red")

RS wings are cool, but I like the traditional Ironing Board look of the 996 GT3
