Hello? does she have a sister? I didn't know that the dowry was still in vogue.
Congrats, options list looks perfect.

I don't blame you for not waiting, probably a wise move with the new GT3 @$106K it's hard to justify the same $$ for an X51 S.

Congrats blk997c2s:

Curious to see if the 5mm spacers take and hold on the order. It was my understanding they conflicted with the XRR wheels. Keep us posted please.

Thanks.

Those would be two different cars altogether, can't really compare them. The GT3 is stripped of most luxury components, including acoustic insulation, and is built primarily for those who want to track the car.

Yes, I think the GT3 will be a beast but a little to specialized for my needs. My car is low enough as it is and with the utmost care am still scraping the front squegee on occasion. The X51 seems to be loosening up and now with 1100 plus miles I can tell it will be enough for my needs also.
