=S
it was a beautiful day and couldnt resist but to go for a drive along the coast. Loving it so far, coming from an E90 M3, I feel more connected with the GT. It feels like a race car out of the box. I'm in love.
as for the PCCBS, yes these are my first set. They are pretty loud but I don't mind it.

good to hear.
... and regarding PCCB squealing ,... I was worried about that before I bought my .2 / 3, but now after 2 years I have never heard mine squeal..... not when they are cold, or very warmed up on hot days last summer, or wet or dry, never. Then again I jam on them pretty hard when I'm spirit driving,... but also only on the street (ie maybe they would if I tracked it). I'm no expert when it comes that.
I've now since also wondered if that has anything to do with how the PCCB rotor & pads were bedded-in when brand new.
this is the one that started it all for me. And the last time I had 1-911 . I had never been all that impressed with 911s or Porsche-in-general. I had driven a few turbos (back when that meant one car; a 911 turbo) and newer non-gt 911’s, and thought: meh? I thought the Italians got emotion and Porsche was a soulless, but fast appliance. I had friends that were big AC’'d nuts but back then, but the thought of an “old” car sounded too impractical. One day when my family was out shopping, and i had too much time on my hands, i decided to test drive a gt3 at nearby dealer (I still have no idea what caused me to do it?). I was completely hooked as soon as I pulled out of the parking lot. My very next move was to calculate driveway clearance . I first became a 997 gt nut (and have since lost count) and later started to explore up/down the porsche offering (and have since lost count). But, this is the one that started the passion/affliction. I’ll forever remember how it smelled, sounded, felt. Since I can’t drive anything sitting in NYC right now (which is torturous because NO ONE is on the road), I started flipping thru old pics. Here’s hoping we are back on our feet and behind-the-wheel soon.
Never did I think I'd end up in a .2 GT3 and in this particular car, nor did I imagine getting the chance to buy it from Doug! Thanks to Doug and Switchcars!
P.S. tire stickers have been removed!
^^^ great story Jrtaylor9. ... very much enjoyed reading that
.... and with as much BS we got going on right now,.... we need as many good stories as we can get. Now the Tiger in NYC Bronx Zoo tested positive. Guys, keep your pets away from other people & pets too.
