Kind of cool to see the PDI happen. Stuff you never normally get to see. Enjoy.

Is that brake dust already on the wheel after the "test" drive?

The sound is quite intoxicating just as it is, can't imagine changing the exhaust system. Power is smooth and creamy. Definitely a noticible change from 3RS. The torque increase is immediately evident.

Ride is down right plush, just amazing. Bumps are no big deal.

CDR-30 delete bitchez!

Going directly to my shop for clear-film, wheel wax () and to install the MovIt 396mmx362mm ceramics and billet caliper full system.

Don't watch the video if you fear properly breaking-in a new car:

Congratulations Pete! Not many things better in the car world than getting delivery of a custom specced Porsche.

Congratulations! Take up to Virginia City for a drive. I want first right of refusal if you ever decide to sell the alcantara SportDesign steering wheel on the 4.0. Saludos, z356 (ex-Montreux Nevada Resident).

That is THE car to have. I congratulate you. Awesome! Are you going to track it like your RS? Do I even have to ask?

Thanks Jon. Honestly- mixed emotions. Excitement of course but tempered by a recognition how fortunate I am to have this luxury in these tough economic times.

Thanks Eduardo! You too I am sure are loving that new custom spec Spyder! Next week we have a cool down and I will run it up to Mt Rose and let the engine enjoy some cold air.

See you in a few weeks!

There are worse cars to drive, that is for sure! Thanks! You don't have to ask but ole' Blue remains the primary track-crack delivery device.

Thanks Lewis! Yeah, right. Any GT3 owner, new or older, is a lucky person. No need for envy.

Congrats, Pete. I know the blue beast is the track toy but I'm sure you'll take the 4.0 out for some hot laps
