997.2 are definitely slow and ugly. Anyone want mine?

Yes, all 997 GT3's are nothing special. They have the dreaded mezger 6spd combo, they are not large enough, refined, nor do they have the opulent panamera style interior and modern pcm. Don't be a bottom feeder, sell and go for the 991...

yep. aqua blue metallic. really like the aqua blue / white gold look that they did on the RS and have thought about doing that. also thinking about some e88s. will have to confer with Mooty about that though.

You guys are now worrying me. I have 2. Might have to dump them in a fire sale. They have been nothing but trouble. Yearly oil changes, brake fluid changes every other yr. It's been a maintenance nightmare. Worst car I ever owned.

Anyone want GT3's for cheap? If you buy one, I will give the 2nd one at 1/2 off!!

think i saw your car drive through Gualala when i was up there in Feb. was having pizza at Upper Crust and saw a meteor gray GT3 go by.

was looking out for Snowboarder's Sharkwerks GT3 but didn't see him on the road.

lately it's easy to get behind a big rig or dump truck on those roads. also I put my exhaust in the silent mode to help with the noise and cops....

nice day today - might head that way myself.

and yes all GT3s are awesome 996 to the current 991.

haha. woke up with a sore throat and feeling crummy. probably GT3 depression related...
almost opted for a quick drive up to Alice's for some fresh air and breakfast. may escape early afternoon to head up there.

and yea, your exhaust would surely get you some extra attention. along with that ridiculous ricer wing!
