Talking Finally!

Today I finally got to spec out my GT3 order, thankfully...

since my local dealer (park place in dallas) was being a jackass, my good buddies at RUF here in dallas hooked me up with Porsche Nashua in new hampshire- and they got me a slot for a euro delivery in november...I'm going to use the car as a driver, as well as a track piece here and there, so I'd like to have something a bit unique.

so here we go:

Cobalt metallic exterior
Black full leather/ alcantara interior
Red Deviating Stitching
Red seat belts
Navigation (don't want to get too far lost while in europe )
Carbon Door Sills
Carbon rear/center console
Xenon headlights (hitting a german deer would be bad)


vacation of a lifetime...probably just going to head south for some warm weather and hopefully stay with some friends along the way...italy, southern france, and maybe spain.


good times.

The Nürburgring seems to have some open times in November. If the weather isn't too bad, you should really head there, you will not regret it.

Congrats on your order, I guess you'll have brianbento's twin. He just got his car and looks pretty much like you want it.... except for nav.

I'd skip the PCM ... it's a very expensive GPS system! buy a TomTom One that's what I did when I took Euro Delivery!

looks like a great spec. Congrats


BTW I would consider the leather door finishers since you are doing full leather. really cleans up the cheap looking window switch plate
