Now Driving .... Atlas Grey 997 GT3
It finally arrived on Thursday evening!!
Atlas Grey, black leather interior, red seat belts + red stitching on the steering wheel, carbon package, central console in leather.
Already drove it 850 km in less than two days! A few first impressions:
- what a sound!!!!!!!!!!
- engine was rough at first but is getting smoother as I go
- phenomenal grip (it came with Pirellis)
- hard to keep a conversation when that throttle valve opens at 4,000 rpm!
- very easy to cruise around in, but, man, does it show its teeth as soon as you press that pedal!!!
- PASM in normal mode was jarring for the first 150 to 200 km, but is noticeably smoother as I go. Or maybe I am just getting used to it!
- terrific feedback from the road, but still very easy to forget how fast it goes, until you look down at the speedometer.
It's everything I was hoping for and I am still discovering it.
WOW!!!!!
Sorry for the bad quality pics. Will post much better ones later...

I have actually been driving it 'normally', meaning no redline but some nice 7500 rpm shifts. It keeps getting smoother and smoother!!!

Thanks for the photos. I love it. That's my color setup right down to the belts, too. My build date is May 30th so I've got a long wait ahead of me. Dying to see more shots.
Congratulations!
More sunlight pics!

I had 3M tint and paint protection done today. Man, it looked gorgeous after that. Will take high res pics next weekend and post them as soon as I can.
The engine is getting better and better and the sound .... I am addicted
