Default New addition! 997.1 GT3

Hi everyone,
Post little, but I check in daily as I've been enamored with the GT3. Was finally able to find an unadvertised one through the help of a friend (his neighbor moving on to a new Vette).
I just took delivery last week of an '07 white GT3. Stock except for painted wheels, Cargraphics full exhaust, Xpel. 19k miles and zero over revs, no track time. Spec is pretty spartan as I would likely have ordered with full leather, no wart, PCCBs, no nav, biXenons, aluminum foot rests, etc..
I'm waiting on plates but in a couple blasts around the neighborhood can tell this is a total beast. She is joining a 930 that I'm contemplating selling . Love how raw the 930 is, but the GT3 makes it feel like a wet noodle. I ignorantly held the non air cooled cars in mild, disinterested disdain but am realizing that I was stupid to do so...

Sadly winter is just around the corner here in Wyoming, although we are lucky to have some great roads both here and in Colorado. I understand that there is a good track outside of Denver--High Plains?

Congrats!

An amazing car. Looks great.

You know if you don't want to leave it in that carport all winter you can store it in my garage in So. Cal.

Great couple you have there and agree some good and dirty photos of the them would be great!

GT3 looks nice and low- obviously not the OEM US spec ride height.

Enjoy and thanks for posting.

Jay.

Thanks everyone. Yes, forgot to mention that it was lowered as well.

Just moved out here and in a rental with crappy garage situation. They'll all go in,but it's bumper-to-bumper.

Definitely planning on some pics of them together. The same DNA is clearly there and it's neat to see the evolution over the intervening 27 years b/t the cars.

Congrats! Send me a PM if you plan on doing a track day out at High Plains, I'm out in Denver. They do open lapping on Fridays and NASA/PCA/BMW events on weekends but I think we only have another 4-6 weeks before that stops.

Great find, congrats. Love to see some more pictures. The guy must be half crazy if he was moving from that to a vette. Oh well, his loss is your gain.
