The 997 guys are the best… if you don’t believe me go troll the 992 GT3 section lol

So true the 992 forum is mean and nasty, love my 997 brothers!

100%! Absolutely zero enthusiasts over there, many of whom don’t know, don’t care about Porsche history and don’t value relationships.

* I said zero for effect, there are a few really great very helpful guys over there, but the majority just want shiny and new. I miss this group and will probably be back in a 7.2 soon. With that being said, I won’t sell my 992 GT car, it really is amazing.

Congrats, I'm obviously bias but Cobalt is the best color.

A friend of mine owns that car now, its in the Jax area.

@mikes70 Congratulations on the car. Porsche does blues so well. I see you are right around the corner from where I host the GT-car-focused GTG every 3rd Sunday (City Center San Ramon). Hope to see you at the next one Nov. 19th

Thank you for all the help and support! The 997 group here had been the best. Beyond excited to join the club.

Wasn’t sure if I could swing the purchase right now, but so thankful it worked out. Didn’t want this one to slip away.

Poor car has barely been driven and has never seen the track, but I’m happy to change that soon. Just need to get the coolant lines pinned and the sharkwerks muffler bypass ASAP.
