Unhappy Building on CJs Thread on DRIVING

It seems that this isn't a common use for most 991 owners.

Look at this screen shot of the threads on front page.

What is going on where are the drivers?

Is value the new lap time?

Seems like normal cycle for new car. Have to go through order, wait... before you can drive it.

If it matters, going to the track on Saturday with some of the boys here. Of course I am NOT taking my GT3 this time. I need DE first! But I will be riding shotgun and bringing the GoPros!

Does this count? lol

Agreed. Can't wait for winter to be over. Also can't wait to get my 997 RS back from the shop with the new goodies.

Agree Chris. It makes me long for the days where, as a 997 GT3 owner, there was a forum where I could find out about setup, tech issues, track times, how to fix common issues for tracking, etc. I do my best to contribute to the 991 GT board but there is so little meaningful discussion I get discouraged.

Worst of all, with the exception of orthojoe, Trak Car and a few others, there are very few owners who can actually turn a wheel in these very capable cars. I hope as they produce a gazillion more, people start discovering the craft and deciding they actually want to get the most out of them. Dare to dream, i know.

This is the first winter in 6 years I've not had a sports car with winter tires on. Snow coming tonight so now having thoughts of getting a 991.2 GT3 for winter duty...

Chris,
Different culture these days. Even the 997 gt section.
Sad state of affairs that screen shot.
I refrain from posting some of my cool projects as my thread wont be able about value and near 0 miles on odometer.

I'm racing this weekend at Willow Springs, does that count?

Honestly, the 997 GT3 2010-2011 early owner crowd was pretty hard core tracking group, myself included. A lot of those guys went on to real racing in purpose built race cars (like me). Maybe it was a combination of the economy, ease of purchase and value at that time for the GT3 and RS. Back then there were a few used RS going for $115-120K, some track prepared already- not cheap but RS for GT4 money really. And to think production numbers were a third of the 991.1, yet we flogged them on the track mercilessly like you could get another one tomorrow for less... and you could!

Everyone knows that I have a rule that all the GT cars that I own/have owned will hit the track. I love to sleep too much to ever make it to a C&C event and the only times I will ever get up early will be for track days. It's all about the DE cup (I proudly sport the cool stickers that Chris helped to create)
