Took delivery Monday
I took delivery of my GT3 this past Monday. The car is white and the only option is bi-xenons. My salesman, Tom Pitre, was great from the beginning when I put a deposit almost 2 years ago. Regretfully, he was sick so he had someone else deliver my car.
It was a quick in and out deal at Porsche of North Scottsdale with only three glitches. The first problem was that the 3M film had some bubbles but these were quickly fixed at their shop before I left.
The other 2 issues I discovered after I left the dealership. I was given the wrong car manual and spare key. This was quickly fixed via next day air to my office. The last problem was that the tires were over inflated by about 5 psi which made for a very twitchy ride until I realized what the problem was. I stopped at a gas station and took some air out to the correct pressure ( F 29 psi R 33 psi ). This trigered a flat warning in the TPM that I wasn't able to correct until the next day.
I live in New Mexico so my drive from Phoenix took about 7 hours and I put about 500 mi. The car is absolutely phenomenal. I look forward to taking it to the track and driving the mountain roads in my vicinity. Pictures will follow.
While I haven't been a regular to this board, I have learned a lot from many of you. Perhaps I will meet some of you sometime.
Thanks,
Martin

Hey Martin
Congratulations Martin. There are very few 997GT3's in New Mexico (if any). Miguel might have one. Not sure who else. My build for my RS is this month, so I am looking forward to that. I do not know if anyone else in NM Got an RS or not. Glad you avoided the Arizona Mounty on the way back.
