Default The "old" 996GT3 is still badass.

Took the "old" yellow car to ButtonWillow yesterday. Had the entire track to myself, well the other guy had a formula car and wanted to run a different configuration. So I only had 8- 30min sessions.
I still love this car and she makes you earn your speed.

Great driving!

Thanks guys. Gearing is not stock. No times taken, there is more speed to be had but kind of strange being on track with no one around. Focused more on new set up and driving experience. Car was strong(61K miles) and felt great over the bumps and some curbs. All the $$$ that I just put in to her is well worth it when you have days like this.

I still think Yellow is way too much on the street but works on the track. My first choice would have been white but when driving on track I do not notice the color.

I feel the same way...but I've grown to love the yellow even though it wasn't my first choice. When you come across the right car you go for it.

Well after 8-30min sessions I too have a crick in my neck and can barely walk, super sore. I need to do this more often to stay in shape.
