pistolpete,
your pics look great-- very high quality. thanks for sharing!

the other meteor is mine. (if my dealer is reading this-- i was never going over 50 mph and not once over 4K rpm-- the pics are deceiving).
i ordered meteor gray as i thought it would be the most subtle color for a 911 with a huge rear wing, but, ironically, people seem to really respond to it more. after 2 black 911s, my new fave p color.

the rotors are ap racing, the front hats were made by some company in CA.
so far, so good. increased unsprung weight over pccb sometimes noticeable, but overall happy with the new setup. for what it's worth, i'd still order the PCCB's if i ordered another gt3. just wish oem replacement costs would come down a bit-- i guess all it takes is at least two aftermarket suppliers to come out for that. but i'd go back to ceramics if just slightly cheaper.

Beautiful cars! I love the color - I guess I should - since I have the same. I was so bummed when I went to my first track event with the PCA GGR at Thunderhill and there was no photographer. I am really looking forward to some decent photos of my lady on the track. Maybe this weekend!

Do you mean the pic showing the side view? And the vent being the one for the front radiator (just below the hood)? It does look like heat distortion coming from there. Good eyes!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

There was a track photographer at this event at well, asking $30 per photo! Sheesh, maybe I'm in the wrong profession!

I take these random snapshots for fun and love being around the paddock just checking out the cars. I'm afraid if I make this into "work", it won't be as interesting anymore. Then again, I'm not sure if I can compete with the pros with the photo quality.

Ah well, enough of my musings. I'm outta space on Rennlist for attachments. Gotta look for a photo hosting site, I'm so behind the times!
