Congrats that thing is a beauty! Exactly what I'll be looking for in a few years
Thanks for you're questions:

What I love is the RAW Power...Revs sooo fast (8400 RPM), Tight Suspension...Handles like its on rails, Exhaust note is Ridiculous, Ceramics are awesome and lastly you rarely see another GT3 on the street.

I've had: 280Z, 350Z, Rx7, a couple of BMRs, 911 (996 w/ GT3 aero kit) and most recently C6 Corvette. All were great in their own way but don't compare to the GT3.

I bought the GT3 to drive....I have other cars, but find myself at this point driving it when ever I can.

Good luck....I'be been told that the GT3s are bullet proof. That said, I suggest that once you find one you like you have a PPI done to ensure that all is ok with the car.....Check for over revs, rear main seal leaks, ceramic rotor cracks, etc., etc.

Beautiful GT3! I see either a Carbon blade to fit your existing decklid like the one in the picture below or a GT3RS wing in your future Also, the Carbon Fiber Decklid air ducts and spoiler lip (also seen in the pic) would compliment it well! All from macarbon.com they're a site sponsor too! Enjoy her in good health!

Awesome! Tastefully done in my opinion.
I agree with the suggested next steps above.

Those may just be the hottest wheels i have ever seen.

Congrats and enjoy!

Great car!!!!! How does your GT3 ride in the road(smooth and bumpy)? How does your back feel after an hour ride on the highway. I have a 996 C4 with GT3 aero kit but always wanted a GT3 but concerned about the rough street ride.let me know.

+1 on these pieces. I think they'd look sharp on your 3. Nice to see one that's a bit different. And white is def. right! Enjoy.

Having had a 996 I would say that it is certainly a more ridged ride. With that said, the ride quality is what I expected with low profile 20's and a track suspension. On the stiffer suspension setting you can definitely feel everything. I do have the Sport Adaptive Seats which are incredibly comfortable which I think helps to smooth things out a little. I also do not have a roll cage which would probably make the car too stiff. Bottom line...I personnaly love the feeling of being closely connected with the road and have no issues with the ride quality.

Hope this helps

Hi

Hey Paul,

Good to hear from you.

I hope you did well on the track. Curious...have you had that sun roof removed yet?

Hope to see you again at C & C.

Peter
