Default New to me GT3

Finally, I can now be an official GT3 forumer.

I took delivery of the car last Friday in torrential rain here in NY. Bought from another Rennlister, and all around awesome guy.

I have only had an hour or so behind the wheel, but I am already entirely taken with it. I also managed to get it nice and dirty. In the past year I have owned a 92 964 C2 and 07 TT. This car feels like it fits right in between them both taking the best of each and somehow making 1+1 = 5. Many of you have given me advice while looking and i'm very appreciative.

18k miles, plenty of paint protection, no over revs, Sharkwerks bypass, beautifully looked after. It's a keeper.....(we all know how that goes)

My little boy is obsessed with it, and I cant blame him.

Absolutely gorgeous pickup! Same spec like the press photos when the 997.1 GT3 was first featured on Porsche's website. Congrats! In the event you are looking to pick up a new set of wheels for street or track use, take a look at our product thread here. We would be honored to have a set of our wheels featured on your car : )

Thanks for the invite. I'm in BK, but the car lives out on the east end of Long Island. Any chance you're planning a drive out that way?? (not sure 495 makes for a particularly exciting route)
