Introducing... The GreyGhost 3

Here she is. These are down and dirty photos but you get the idea. Atlas Gray is a bizarre color but I think it will grow on me. It looks Grey in direct sun, Blue in the shade, and purple or black in dark lighting conditions. I just hope I can keep such a dark car clean.

Thanks for Chris Morea, Lee Smith, Gene the SuperTech and the rest of the crew at Jim Ellis Porsche. What a great experience and I can't recommend them enough. Very accomodating to my bizare demands... like taking both interior completely apart to swap my aluminum-look for the wood... it looks 1000% better.

It drives great... quite different from a rear-wheel drive car. It's like it pushes and pulls at the same time. Lots of power but haven't really pushed it because of the breakin, but it is fun to drive. My carrera with the X74 handles better in turns but after I lowere this one down with some coilovers I imagine it will blow the Carrera away.

Enjoy.











P.S.: See if you can notice something that you will only see on this Turbo.

Britt,

Congratulations! It looks like a super color combo especially with the natural grey leather. Best of luck with the new car.

Non-leather airbag? I guess you wanted to keep the silver crest.

Car looks great, congratulations. I am impressed that the dealer agreed to switch out the wood dash strips for the aluminum dash strips.

Enjoy the car in good health!

"Carrera" style gear shifter?

Looking at the pictures again, I would consider painting the alu-look pieces Atlas Grey as you already have the A/G rear center console and door finishers. Just my $.02!

Shank... photoshopped for now but lowering it next week.

Eric... It is a sport gear shift but that's not what I'm referring to, try again.

You will not see this on any other turbo unless they did something funky... like I did.
