I think we got the same car--Guards Red, Ceramics, Adaptive Engine Mounts, few other non-performance options. I put 600 miles on in the first week. Not sure if I can ever sell my 993, but this car is amazing.

That is simply beautiful!
Like your comparison too. For a newbie GT3 recruit all info is good.
Enjoy your wonderful machine.

Sweet...pretty similar to mine. I put 1k on it in two weeks The only thing about ipod intergration I don't like is that it does not shut the ipod down when you turn the car off. So battery runs out on ipod and then it will not recharge in the car because it can't handshake. You have to bring it in the house to recharge..PITA with a dedicated nano for the car. But thats my onlt gripe so far. otherwise I live this thing more than any prior p-car I've had. There is just something magical about how all the parts come together and the motor just purrs.... even at idle it makes me smile all warm and fuzzy.

I love it, looks like one of the pics is at a track! Even if it wasn't on track at least you showed the GT3 where to put down the rubber!

Yes, drove out to Buttonwillow to visit a friend. No tracking, but did do the lunchtime track tour...so it was on the track...

Is it more hardcore than the 997.1 variation, or is it softer?
Suspension seems a bit stiffer ..
Front spring rates increased by +5nm/mm
Rear spring rates increased by +10nm/mm

Tool the PI wrench to the shop and my tech used it for undo and tighten.
Dosen't everyone bring their own torque wrench to the shop

Thanks for all the comments!!

Here is a revised video of the Front Axle Lifting System
Love the woosh...it's like I have a "big rig"

Congratulations Brian. I just have to say wow. She looks awesome. Love the alcantara interior; definitely dresses up the feel and appearance. Can't wait to hear the review on how she handles compared to your 07. Drive her well.
