Finally an owner!
 
Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while and a few weeks ago I finally pulled the trigger on my first 911 (and Porsche for that matter). I purchased the 2011 GT3 RS from Isringhausen and after a slight delay with shipping, it finally arrived yesterday. The car came exactly as advertised and (so far) drives amazing. I took it for about 100 miles yesterday and spent half a tank of gas and I'm still grinning today--although my left leg is shot from the heavy clutch pedal. The RS joins a family of high-revving Hondas/Acuras (Integra Type R, S2000 CR and Zanardi NSX) and although the similarities between the cars are there, the 911 just takes everything to a whole new level.

I look forward to learning a lot more about this great platform and hopefully I can contribute back to the community soon. Thanks for reading!

That is gorgeous. I particularly like the side decal delete in that color. Congrats

BEA...U...TI....FUL !!!!! I agree, it looks fantastic with no decal package!

Enjoy in good health !!! Indeed your clutch leg gets a workout!

Very nice. I have been keeping an eye on that car. Their stuff is always very nice. Sometimes high on price but always very clean cars. Congratulations and welcome to the 997RS forum where people drive their cars. :)

Looks great! Is that a factory color combo?

Yes their cars are extremely clean, virtually zero imperfections on this one. I probably paid too much but then again this build was very unique.

Yes, factory Grey Black with graphics delete and silver wheels.

Nice job!

I recognize you from NSXprime. I'm attempting to be the lower budget version of you - 94 NSX, 05 S2K and aiming for 997.1 GT3.

Enjoy them all in good health, and hang on to that NSX! Not much I wouldn't do for a nice Zanardi.
