Default The Eagle has landed: SBM GT4

So, picked it up yesterday and put about 60 miles on it. Still doing a break-in until 400 miles or so, but the feel, handling (compliance is actually quite good with the suspension), braking, engine sound, just overall feel of the car is just killer. I'm definitely in love with it. Keeping the Vette too, but man talking about different driving dynamics and feel. Both very capable, just very different.

Anyway, here's some preliminary pics:

Will post more driving impressions later. Also, wanted to a give a shout out to Park Place Porsche in Dallas and Keith and Kevin in particular. Very professional, very responsive. Truly the easiest car buying transaction I've ever had and they were very honorable in keeping my spot in line, my allocation, and selling at MSRP. I'm a first time customer for them too. They have a new customer for a long time. Well done Park Place Porsche.

Man, if SBM looked as dark as it does in those first 3 photos even in brighter light, I'd be all over it. Reminds me a lot the Aqua Blue it replaced. Congrats OP!!

Congrats - Enjoy your weekend of driving!

I should be sitting in a very similar car within the week - SBM, red stitch, steel brakes, carbon interior etc...

Its photos like these that keep making me want to change my spec, but I have to remind myself that its much different in person.

That being said, beautiful car Corey!
