It truely is a great "dual purpose" vehicle a reasonably compliant and comfortable even with the sport buckets and the sport mode PASM engaged on good roads.

Guards red
light weight headlights
full leather
sport buckets
painted rear center console
red seat belts
deviating stitching, red
universal audio interface
basic mats
Nice color! What's the option code/order code for the deviating stitching red?

How do you like the sport bucket seats?
I came from the one piece Euro GT seats in my last car. these sit a little taller on the rails, seem to me to be about the same relative driving position, and have a little more width. I had no problems doing a one fuel stop 350 mile run and find them both very supportive and comfortable.

six separate codes in the order guide in the exclusive option/deviating stitching section: dash, side center console, door, door handle, rear side panel, seats

I'll track down the codes and add them.

Team Drug Money: Thank you for the picture very very cool. It looks like there were a few rpms left before red line. Were you able to push a few more mph out of the car or was 201 mph the top speed?

Thanks and
Due to increased traffic I was not able to get to use the full RMP range. My guess from reviewing the tape is there was another ~15~ mph available. I will be excited to see when someone can verify with a GPS what the top speed actually is for this car. I am sure the speedometer is an overestimate to some extent.

GT Silver:


I think GT silver would look better with silver wheels to compliment each other rather than the standard titanium-coloured wheels , don't you think?

Regrading the silver wheels on the GT silver 3, I think those pictured look pretty great, although, imo, silver, Ti or black would all look great.

Default an opposing view

here's a view you hopefully won't see very often but appeals to the engineer in all of us. 30 miles on the odometer...

Aerodynamic drag increases with the square of the speed so another 15 mph is unlikely, particularly since you've passed peak HP at 7,600 rpm. Regardless, congrats on hitting an indicated 200 mph! That's one item on my bucket list. dave

Good point! I actually should have posted 10 mph possible increase. At 7200 rpms I was doing 189 mph. But in light of your info, I wonder what the difference actually is. I sure wish I had a GPS to confirm what my indicated 201 on the speedometer actually was!

God, that Aqua Blue looks good.

Anyone have black with black wheels yet? That I'd like to see.

IMO one of the best colors for the 2010 GT3, I can only imagine how nice that looks in person. Any other pics?

Black wheels are not available until Aug. builds according to Porsche's configurator, however, Porsche is telling dealers that they are not available until Dec. This was the last news I had.

Its darker than cobalt, almost metallic royal blue. I like it much better than expected.
