I ve been missing 6 since that time and thinking often today about 6 cup for track.
Lambo is fun and plenty fast (especially in manual and rwd like mine) but if I could only keep the gallardo or my 6-3, it would be an easy decision!

That's a beautiful GT3! I still love the side profile of the 996GT3 and GT2.

I had 90 minutes on track in a 991 GT3 today at Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta and it reaffirmed how great the 996 GT3 is. The 991 is an awesome package out of the box but no match for a tickled 996 GT3 in the driver involvement department. I had a great time with the car but can honestly say I walked away with no lust for the 991 and looking forward to driving my 996 GT3 again!

Hey guys, any one polish their 6GT3 factory wheels vs paint.

On a silver car the silver on silver is a little funky. I dont like black, so polish is a thought?

If so, pics please.

Nice find mooty. Seal grey was on my short list when I was looking for 6.2 GT3s. There's just something special about the 996s...

Joe, nice driving and nice details on the car. I like the wickerbill, front bumper mod, and I assume cup splitter. Small changes can add up.
