Santa Brought Me Hips
Photos? Ain't got no photos hilarious
Went from within hours of buying an 07 GT3 to a new GTS with PDK. Kinda close ;) Photos and details tomorrow. |
Congrats!

Congrats! What was the reason for preferring a GTS over a GT3? Just curious to see what led you to this decision :)
|
There were a few items driving the decision. 1. I still have issues with my spine and left leg. 2. The wife was not real big on the GT3. 3. After last Falls incident at Mid-Ohio I'm not sure how much I want to drive on the track. 4. The GTS with PDK really put a smile on my face. It's just plain fun to drive.
If I had plans to stay active in driving events I most likely would have gone with the GT3. Leg permitting and that is a big if. I'm glad I did the comparison and the search. I'm also content with the reality check. |
Congrats on the upgrade
|
Back and leg problems may affect your ability to drive as you said. I'm sorry to hear about your issues :(
On the other hand, if you're not planning to track much the GTS is a better choice as it's more comfortable than a GT3 for sure. It's the perfect in-between car :) You made a wise choice for sure. Enjoy in good health! |
good luck
Congrats on the upgrade. Did you go to Kings or Village for the GTS?
|
I love it... everyone said keep your C2S and you went ahead and bought the GTS anyways. I am sure I would have done the same thing. When I want something (and I can afford to buy it) I do. Life is too short. Enjoy in good heath!!

A few answers:
JWULLY, I purchased the GTS from POV. The Gt3 was/is at Kings. BSB911TT, There was merit in staying with the 09 C2S. However, the GTS with PDK is a great ride. Plus it has a few options that I really wanted but did not have on the C2S. Gary, You are correct. A three level lumbar fusion along with a three level cervical. Jan too has a gift for nudging me in the right direction. Mid-Ohio was the experience of being on the receiving end of a GT3 spreading it's coolant between T10 and T11. Blind right hander over the hill with three cars already in the gravel trap and no room for me the fourth. No chance to scrub speed and straight into the rear of a stuck turbo. The turbo was totaled and I racked up $17k in repairs. I was lucky to have not damaged any of my hardware. |

Damn, now I'm sitting here with my hindbrain churning away at: flip it backward and use the mirrors to pick a target? Or take something head-on and trust the airbags? Damn hindbrains have no sense.:mad: Merry Christmas everyone, Gary |
Congrats! funny that is the same option I had when I bought mine. They had a 07 GTS on the show room floor and the new GTS 6 speed. Went for the GTS too!
|
Gary, I had a GMG roll bar, Sparco Evo seat, Safety Solutions 7 point belts, Safety Solutions Pro Rage and a Simpson CF helmet. They all worked quite well. I'm now an even bigger believer in good safety gear.
And a Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have a safe holiday. |
