First Impression:

Oh my god! What a difference from my 08 C2S. Where to begin?

The car is low, real low. No scrapes but I was careful. The clutch is much stiffer than the C2. The gearbox shift is much shorter. The car sounds awesome, I kept the sport exhaust on most of the way home. Sweet.

The biggest thing I noticed was how taut and immediate the car was. Absolutely solid and much more edgy than my C2S. The C2S was great but with the GT-3, you think, therefore you turn, simply amazing. The suspension is quite comfortable, not as jarring as the C2S in sport mode. I eased the car home but you can definetly feel the horsepower. The bad part is I just beat the rain home and haven't been able to take the car back out. I was a bit apprehensive about driving in the rain with the cup tires and an unfamiliar car. I'll fix that this weekend.

The car is beautiful. I spent an hour in the garage while it rained, drinking a beer and just looking at this incredible machine. It is so purposeful and functional looking. This all happened so quickly. I almost have to pinch myself that I'm not dreaming.

I'll post pics soon.

Yeah, sorry. I should be beaten with the stupid stick. I uploaded the pictures to my album and copied and pasted them to the thread. I'll have to spend some more time to figure out how to get it right.

Thanks.
