Congrats. I also inquired about this car and was a few hours too late.

First to give props to Doug at Switchcars - my first purchase from him and my best car buying experience (and i have bought and sold more than i care to admit). He is honest and easy to deal with. No slick salesman talk, no pressure and no tricks. Easy to recommend him.

This car was discussed a few mos ago here. I happen to live close by and took one look and could not pass it up. Lovely options. Tons of carbon, alcantara, axle lift, roll cage, cat bypass. Near flawless body and paint, 10K miles.

My 4th Porsche - I keep coming back. Been thru ferrari, GT-R,NSX, M3, 996 TT, R8

good to be back - this car is impressive

Traded in my 09 R8. It was too soft, too numb and muted. nice slotted shifter but i actually didnt love the V8. very odd engine sound - almost an electric whine.
GT3 is very different to say the least. Raw, loud, connected, deliberate.

My first white car. A friend called her "the ghost". I like it.

Cant wait for spring to get it to the track.
Congratulations on the car. When did you acquire it?

took it home about a month ago - right after x-mas.

I was sold on it after my mechanic took me for a ride. It was thrilling. He is a PCA driver as well and showed me a little of what the car could do. I was amazed. It just feels right.

He said the car just needed some pads and plugs and was otherwise perfect.

He has been trying to get me into a GT3 for many years now, but i was out chasing ferraris and GTR's and R8's, but something was always missing. I hope this one sticks with me for a long time.

That's such a great looking car! Love the white with blacked out wheels!

I'll bet you'll have a hard time selling it, it's a love affair.
