I found Euro delivery cost about the same as shipping your car back for an entire summer when you can just drive it with your US plates.

Since mine as build in February, I decided to take delivery in US, get all mods done and will ship it back for a summer to remember....

Peter: This is on my bucket list. Would appreciate on a post on logistics, costs, etc. when the time comes.

My bucket list is a summer in Europe and a summer touring US tracks.

So far, I know that containerized shipping is better, shipping 2 cars in a 40ft is almost half the cost of shipping one car in a 20ft. roughly $4000.00 back and forth with customs stuff etc. I just have to do some research who is the most dependable. Add to that Euro insurance for 6 months or so, but that is not much.

Ship it in Feb/March for +/- may arrival ship it back around September.
I ship in containers from Europe regularly, but not with cars, so need to find out about loading logistics and what ports are easiest, with a custom clearing agent who has done this before. I expect Rotterdam.
I also have some friends that import cars from the US to Holland, so I probably start there

The real cost is flying back and forth, (I can only go about 2 weekends in a row) fuel and ring tickets ;-)
I have friends and family in Belgium, not too far from Spa, UK and Germany, about 4 hours from the Ring. In Germany we have our own place with 2 car garage.

If any of you guys are coming over it would be cool to meet up. Being a big Nordschleife fan myself and living in Belgium we could have some fun over there.

Its not so much about the bhp or the rpm.... the handling is entirely different to a C4S. The C4S may as well be a big luxury sedan especially if you track your cars... chalk and the proverbial cheese. No comparison, no contest. The C4S is a blunt butter knife, the GT3RS is a surgical scalpel.

i think that's the case Larry. saw a car with euro plate just got dropped off at dealer last week. with front bracket installed.

Peter,

That sounds like awesome fun!!

I am alittle confused as to how much time you will spend over there in the 6 months.

Hey Scott,

Here is a serious comparison between the 360 CS & the RS.2.

Condor,
Thanks! That was a good read. Interesting that they chose to compare the current RS to the CS. I would like to read a similar comparison RS- Scud.

Regards
Scott

I figure it depends on available track days, but I am thinking 9-10 days in Europe, so it includes 2 weekends and try hit all reachable track days, bring in car for service at Porsche shop in Germany if needed, 2 weeks home repeat as often as possible in the 4-5 months that the weather is OK.
