Hi Chad! Thank you for the nice words. I just walked in so sorry for responding so late to you. I have been to several of the PCA meetings at the airport a few years ago (I am also a pilot, so I am around the airport often).
I like the local club, but stopped going to the club because I am not much of a joiner, but more so because of the kinds of activities and focus the club seems to gravitate towards.
I think the PCA club is more for guys with the older cars, like the 356's and Speedsters that like to talk about how they found an old NOS bumper piece in mint condition at some sale for $25, or they discuss finding an old original owners manual for their car, or something like that. It's not a bad thing, it just ain't my bag.
If you want to meet at the airport with the P-Cars, let me know, and I'd be happy to buy the coffee!

mastiffdog, I agree with you about the PCA meetings...I only go a few times a year and it because it's right in my back yard. So if your ever going out for a flight and going to take the 997tt shoot me a pm and i'll take you up on the coffee.
AeroGt3, Thanks...sorry I had fat fingers it was actually a 11.39. The car is one of the easiest cars to drive fast consistantly. Tho the trip TT has to be even easier!!!

I would be happy with either one, if it is a Porsche give me the TT or a GT# please.

May I make a humble suggestion?
the next time some wad from Corvetteland posts about Z 06 track times or 0-1000 mph, can we just all ignore it?
Too much energy spent on negativity. Life is short...and
