Nice looking ride, Point Man. Is that a cocoa top?

Now, did I hear you correctly in saying that the white you got was a special paint-to-sample white?

It's hard to tell in the pics but I trust it looks way better than the Carrara White and was well worth the premium?

So the standard GT3 is narrow bodied while the RS is widebody with RWD instead of AWD?

And what's the power output of the GT3?

And more importantly, Jeff, are you still getting one?

When I asked what the power output on the GT3 is, it's because I plead ignorance and don't really know what it is.

Did you talk to the Stop Meister, could he get you one?

Lots of competition here. My car hasen't been detailed since I've had it. It's beginning to resemble something out of Mad Max.

Gotta admit I'm a little disappointed to see no track shots yet.
