Pics are nice, but was expecting more tech content.

I got mine as well. I guess I don't see the point of this book.

I thought the format was odd.

Hey Guys,
Think advertising, even if there are no more cars to sell.

+1 -- got it awhile ago and was expecting much more. What a waste of paper!

Got mine as well. Think how much that must have cost to get those out there. Was hoping for some tech data, historical perspective. Already gave it to the nearest third grader.

I'd love to have a look at one if any of you are thinking of throwing yours away...

Trust us, it'll take you about 30 sec and you're done. Its like them flip cartoon books where it animates a 360 for a black GT2 view as you flip. Each page is 10 degree increment.

You'll get a better thrill if you go to Porsche's configurature and view it online.

That's too bad. A friend used to sell Porsches and was able to hook me up with some very cool little hardbound brochures on the 996 GT3 & GT2.

Another friend actually gave me his 997 GT2 product guide, 100+ pages (softbound) with detailed facts and figures and comparisons to the competition. I don't think it was supposed to leave the dealership...

Sorry, I'm giving mine away to a guy at the dealership.

One of the hardback sales brochures would have been so much nicer.

So this is what one looks like spinning in front of you in the dark of nite! ; -)

The book is a let down after some of the great pubs on the CGT. (Then, I got nothing on the GT3RS -- not even a lousy t-shirt.)
