993 911 is infamous around these parts
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you talk them down on the price? Their asking price seemed a bit steep for a no-stripe car (which in my opinion looks better than striped ones).

Congratulations!

Congrats on the car! I'm still partial to white though. I love how your GT3 looks.

Wait... is that Atomic's cobalt blue 997 TT next to your GT3? Did he convince you to upgrade?

I think the GT3 feels faster in the mid range, but that car is a blast to drive.

Good luck...

You're correct that is the owner's of Grand Prix Mike Warn's car. The GT3 pulls harder down low and more precise steering. However, the CS is more balance in corners and much more stable at high speed. Overall the GT3 is faster but the CS is more confident-inspiring to drive..And oh the sound...My 2 cents.

Sound and looks alone is enough reason to buy a CS!

When I found out that Vincent was planning to trade in his GT3, I just had to go! I loved his GT3 when he let me try it out! So much that I went out and got those Damptronic coilovers, H&R sways and Tarett droplinks for mine just so my Turbo would handle/feel more like his GT3.

But, damn you, Vincent, you just had to one up me by getting a Ferrari!

You guys should have seen that beauty on the highway heading home. It was pure sex on wheels! I took 426 pictures on that day alone! I'd never seen an automobile that looked better than ****!

Congratulations once again, Vince! Now we need to get yours, Ben's and Kuzi's together for a photoshoot. That and a sound clip of you three going through the tunnel! That'll be truly orgasmic!

DimNSlow, no, he decided to do that all on his own! I had nothing to do with it!

I was just messing around with the pictures I took and came up with a new avatar for ya, buddy.
