I would really appreciate that !

I had a similar experience with Perimeter. I was in the Smokies for the Spring 16 event. Zach from Perimiter called and told me they had just received a loaded Carmin Red GT4. We agreed on a trade value for my GT3 and I picked it up that eveving.

Great looking car. Enjoy!

Absolutely- will likely run it on Sunday with the R Gruppe ( actually will have my son drive the 4 and I'll take the Emory) and will make sure to get pics!

Quick update - absolutely awesome! A few runs with my P Car pals here in the desert, engineering and fit and finish just amazing and the color absolutely pops in person, pics do not do it justice.

A few mods planned, have purchased a set of HRE 101 LWs, reducing weight significantly on each corner and working thru my shop here in the desert to decide on what additional performance mods will be in play. Nothing crazy as this car is fantastic right out of the box.

Nice color!
The HREs save 27.4 lbs, you can save another 55.8 lbs with CC rotors that are even lighter than the larger Porsche ones, fronts are used on the Corvette and if damaged can be replaced for around $1.5K compared to $6.5K;

That's a lot of unsprung weight reduction- thank you for the link!

Not yet.
When I initially looked at doing it the rear caliper pad bolts needed shortening, now a 4mm narrower rotor is used for the rear, so the modification is no longer needed.
