IMHO, gotta say that Carrara White makes for the best looking GT3. Wish my car was that color, but I had to go with what was available in the market, with my requirements and price range.

Well this seems to sum it up! But I still wonder if those of us over 40 who love our GT3s do not throw back to another era when Porsches did not have sound deadening and stereos and all the latest stuff. What they had was the essance of "sportscar" which is why I think we all love our GT3s. I am very glan all you younger owners love it to or their would be no GT3s, just the more homoginized Pcars!!!

Could be my friend, I know I was lucky enough to drive an RS60 around Riverside Raceway when I was only 16 years old. I was also fortunate enough to drive an Abarth Carrera and one of the very first 904's. Worked for Vasek Polack after school in 1962, changing oil, cleaning the customers cars and helped in the pits on the weekends. I was one lucky kid! I have many fond memories not only of the cars and the times when almost anyone could go racing but of Vasek as well. Now there was a man who had Porsche running through his veins!

46, I can sum it up as a combination of need for something fast and raw to add to what I already own. Yes, white GT3's are hot but hard to come by. Still very happy with silver.

GOD DAMN we used to stop by Vasek after every LBGP starting with the F5000 days just to BE THERE. What a great historic place. I still go with my best freind every year. A Pcar owner since the 60S.

My father felt it was necessary to purchase a set of polished fuchs from Vasek when we lived in Puerto Rico. He also felt it was necessary to go out there with me (4 years old) to check them out. I still have the 1:43 orange 930 Turbo that he bought me (it has a few dents and scratches on it).

37 here too and the first time I spun my 3 I felt like my reflexes were 80+. Hope to get my 997 3 before 40.
