I came across this thread by accident and although my GT3 is not really for sale…. I may be persuaded to part with it …. what on earth could replace it ?

Nothing else really compares. I don’t mean just faster cars, either. I drove a “worked” C6 Corvette Z06, a Porsche 997S, 997 Turbo and some others. They're all great cars, but just don’t seem to compare.

When I’m in the GT3, I feel everything of the road when I’m driving … I feel it in the seat, the steering wheel, the shifter, etc. The GT3 talks to me. We are one.

The other cars just don’t have the “soul” of the GT3, is the best way I can describe it. It is an out-of-the-box Olympian.

….And, the Cobalt Blue color . . . well, that’s an absolute show stopper everywhere I go.



PM with serious inquires.

I've seen it, but thanks for pointing me towards it. I'm not a fan of that car's options.

Side note, according to the order guides for the 2009 cars that I have seen here on RL, Cobalt Blue is a discontinued color....

I think it is the pick of the litter too.

Just a caveat emptor if you do happen to deal with Scottsdale/Penske. My experience was not favorable .

That is Brian's car at Leith. Here are the threads he started when he originally put it up for sale. Not sure what all has been removed from the car though as I know some of it was bought by a friend of mine here locally.

Saw it this past weekend when I was up at Leith. Cobalt is a sweet color in person.

call the ppl up the ladder.
roger penske makes certain his affiliates are up to snuff.
i was pissed off by how my wife was treated when her RX350 was serviced by a penske owned lexus dealer. after one call to complain, they made sure everything is cared for and customers' are happy.

Know the feeling. First time I drove one, something quite spiritual happened. Don't know how else to describe it either. Definitely had a moment and I'm pretty sure I want to move to a GT3. Anyway, seaching for the right one. Talked to Tim about his grey one - nice guy!
