Thanks! They are getting harder and harder to come across these days, but I'm always on the hunt for them.

There are already 10 GT4's signed up for Chin over labor day weekend! It's going to be like a mini club event!

Anyone else going, but hasn't signed up yet? I bet the number gets to around 15 by the time registration ends

12 out of 20 cars in Intermediate Solo I are Porsches and 5 are GT4's!!

Correction, it's going to be like driving around in a frying pan.

Default Should Pickup This Week - Can't Wait!

Upgrading from a 400 WHP STI to the 981 GT4 - should be about as much as my wife will let me have without leaving me!

I got the call yesterday that the car was offloaded from the ship in Houston and should be ready for pickup on Thursday or Friday this week. It seems like there are quite a few black/black versions here in Austin - can't wait to join the club!

I've been tracking the STI for 5+ years (went full built race engine about 2 years ago - thing is finally bulletproof) - so it should be interesting to re-learn the lines at the Texas tracks over the coming months/years.

I also plan on putting this one under "ATX Care" - after speaking with Jason S. over there for about 30 minutes this morning I'm very confident they're a great shop here in town and really have their focus on the Porsche community.

My plates will match the username - 512GT4. Wave if you see me around town!

You should be in good hands at ATX since they are at the forefront of GT4 track advancement. They even get to test GT4 parts for vendors. In fact I'm testing a new top hat from a vendor soon. Also, they come out to DE events at COTA and provide some basic support (sway bar adj, tire pressure, change out tires, etc.) to their customers for no charge. NVM, they'll prob charge for tire change, but you get the point......they are there when you need them.

I believe they can count on two hands how many GT4s they are supporting, even a GT4CS! Hopefully we can get some of the "extra" CS parts

Welcome to the club! Will you be doing COTA with Chin in Sept?

ATX is great, they also care for my GT4 - I just had camber and alignment done last week for the Fall HPDE schedule at COTA. Welcome to the ultra exclusive BLACK GT4 club in Austin.
