So, I'm the new guy with a GT3. I had dubbed my 3400S "Blitzen" (German for lightning), so maybe the GT3 should be "Donner" (thunder) .

2004 911 GT3 VIN#2067

factory specifications:
Cobalt Blue Metallic
standard black interior
PCCB
bi-xenon headlights
A/C delete

modifications:
GT3 seats (black leather on Cobalt shells)
GT3 rollbar
GT3 center console
fire extinguisher on B-K mount
radio delete
TechArt 340mm airbag steering wheel
TechArt shift ****
B&M short-throw shift lever

 

Could you post pics? I love that color esp. with the matching seat shells.

Kevin

 

I assume that you will be mostly tracking this car???
No a/c in "Hotlanta"???

Best of luck and congrats. Welcome to the club...Pics Please...

 

I hope to get some photos up here before long.

The A/C delete isn't all that radical. Most of the year it's not even an issue. Those times when it is too hot to be without A/C, I dress light, or drive at night, or take a different car.

While I definitely did optimize the specifications with a view toward for my DE activities, more than 90% of this car's miles will be driven on public roads.

All the same, part of my pleasure is in knowing that the car is optimized for the track.

 

Hey,
Congrats! Your only 3 hours away from the Dragon Bring that beast

 

Would you mind posting pics of the 3400s as well???

 

I haven't photographed the GT3 yet, but here are some shots of the 3400S. (Other than the outside mirrors and some interior customizing, it looks like a regular 986S.)

OEM fabric supplier Sonnenland's factory-spec. fabric in a color not available from Porsche.

 

nice. Beautiful top combo btw. This one's really a sleeper huh! How long have you had her? Ever give any other non-986's a run for their money?

 

Oh yeah. It pretty well dominates 996s at the DEs at Road Atlanta. That's a horsepower track, but my 3400S and the 996s are so close in hp, it becomes more of a cornering contest. Since my group and I are not expert drivers, the confidence inspiring handling of the mid-engine chassis is a huge advantage.

 

Marco, When is your build date?

 

On the right end of the first line of print on the sticker on the driver's door: "3/03."

 

My mechanic ran the VIN through Porsche's identifier database: the car was begun in March and completed production in April of this year. Went on the boat in May.

Did you know all GT3s were held up at the port of entry well into August because DOT/EPA certification for the model had not been completed until then?

It is a bummer to know for 3 months that your fantasy car is just sitting in a Custom's impound!

 

Where you able to get a factory rollbar installed by a special request or is it through an aftermarket supplier?

Thanks
