I bought a GT2 last week.

Last week I bought a GT2. It is my first venture into any of the "GT" Porsches and I've owned 20+ of them since my first in 1979. It is Red with Dark Grey Natural Leather & Red stitching. This car was the subject of an article in GTPorsche magazine. http://www.reevesimportmotorcars.com...ne-Article.pdf
I hope to have the car by the end of the week or next week at the latest. I don't plan to track the car so I have a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires ordered for it. It has about 23,0000.00 in factory options and another 40,000.00 in the following mods:
Electronics:
XM Radio, Mobridge Bluetooth interface, Laser blinders front & rear, Athlon Starlane GPS lap timer
Performance:
FVD High Flow Headers, Protomotive Custom 22psi ECU tuning, Modified Variable Vane Turbochargers, Akrapovic Exhaust System, Custom Fabricated High Efficiency Intercoolers, 3.6 to 3.8 Liter Piston & Cylinder Set, Protomotive High Flow Catalytic Converters.
Trim:
Aluminum Pedal Set, Porsche Brushed Aluminum Roll Bar, Custom Matte Black Vinyl Inserts in Rear Bumper & Air Inlets, Custom Powder Coated Black Mesh Inserts in Front Bumper Inlet, GMG Racing Carbon Fiber Front Diffuser, GMG Racing Carbon Fiber Rear Wing Extension, Oakley Design Rear Carbon Fiber Valance, Oakley Design Carbon Fiber Front Diffuser (spare)
Wheels:
Kinesis Racing 3 Piece Wheels
The following pictures are from the dealer

Oh wow! The red dragon I've seen that car at Reeves and they brought it out to cars n coffee. It was on their
lot for quite a while but nice to see it's going to a good owner.

I've seen this car in person when I bought mine. I've bought 3 cars from Reeves over the last few years. Who was your salesman?

Beautiful car for sure!!!!!

Thanks Bob. The plate is the original owners. When we went to look at the car, I didn't notice the plates but my wife noticed it up immediately.

I have a TechArt fiber carbon wheel from my 2008 Turbo. I've emailed TechArt & DCT Motorsports to see if they can change the cocoa leather to matching Alcantara.

My dealer is looking into adding the OEM front end lift. Also looking into the TechArt unit.

The salesman was Eric Baumann. He is actually a VW salesman but when I called all the Porsche salesmen were busy so he took the call. Since I'm from the Pittsburgh area, I didn't know anybody special to ask for. My wife & I had plans to be in Sarasota last week on vacation so it worked out well.
