Default Why I don't have a GT3 / RS

took this picture this morning, leaving my driveway. certainly, the new 2009 with the sports PASM is more stiffly sprung.

boy, would it be hard to get a GT3 from dragging there, even with the lift kit...

however, with the sport buckets, sports PASM, PCCB and the back seats for the kids, i've got a great ride here

You have a Beautiful car!!, and you are right to be thankful for what you have, but the GT3 is is a special car, specially if you use it on the track

Yup I will admit that I still love the simpler lines of the non-wide body model.

What I want from Porsche is smoother lines for the Turbo, more like the Sport Classic.

You have one of the best spec'ed S's I have even seen. Superb sporty toy! Congrats again on finding that car! When are you coming down to Thunderhill with it? A big crowd of folks was there from WA a few weeks ago.

Is the RF wheel off the ground? Or illusion?

The 'S' is nice but the GT3's and RS's are much...

sorry for the apparent confusion here:

the
  • right wheel is well off the ground - about 4 inches, every morning
  • the nose just barely drags going in and out of the driveway
  • the 20mm lowering with the sport PASM / S model is the answer to "how low can you go?"

but i'm a GT3 owner at heart - with carseats , and PDK
