What dealer did you trade it in to? Color, options etc?

Maybe someone can benefit from your change in direction?

The GT3 is a great car for its intended purpose and target buyers. You just picked the wrong model for your needs. Glad you could move on to the new one.

Man I love all those attributes in the GT3-who wouldn't. Well my wife would hate it and having no back seat my daughter would hate it too. But jeez-I can't get one at this time til my wife goes insane how bout someone giving me a ride in one. I live in San Francisco : ). Regards. Mike

I drove out of my driveway at an angle, hit a few pot holes on my way into work, made a cell phone call on the way, and loved every minute of it!!

Much as I hate to admit it, maybe I have the same problems as mrcohanian on this one - shouting into my mobile, drawing on a Siglo II and trying to avoid potholes is obviously just too much multi-tasking for my little brain.

Given the huge effort put into producing the cosmetic upgrades to the 2004 GT2, maybe they'll have a CF humidor option just to keep everything nicely coordinated?

Fozzy,

You'll need to also install an aftermarket sunroof for your cigar smoke. How about a wine cellar?

Somewhere to put the Latour, maybe, but sunroof?!!! It's a sportscar, dammit. Just like the GT3 - either a road-going track car, or a track-going road car, I get confused.

You actually can't drive the car in a spirited way because your worried about what your going to bottom out on next...."
fwiw, the ride height can easily be raised.

like others have stated, your reasons for ditching the gt3 are precisley the same reasons why some of us want one...if more people backed-out after reading posts like yours, then it can only help those wishing to negotate a better deal for incoming cars. keep it coming

Yongster - a wine cellar is just a stupid idea!! You're just being silly. The hard ride would upset the wine....I'll have mine in CF please!!

Colm: Somehow I doubt a "true" GT3 aficionado would want the car he returned. I envision it as being equipped with options such as footwell lighting and a leather headliner which make me cry. That is if the original post in this thread is real as it could be the best troll posting I've ever seen.
