GT3 Finally in the hangar

After waiting until the very end of the production run. It finally arived. # 141 must be one of the last ones for the year. Well worth the wait.

The car is as described. I had a 997 and I have a Cup Car. It feels more like the cup car than the 997. The shifter is just like the Cup. The turn in is amazing. The sound is second to none. The interior is amazing. No need for full leather it looks just right the way it is. The non TV Screen dash looks great. The stereo is simple to use and sound good enough to listen to Country Music. The Alcantara feels awsome. The seats feel good and are easy to adjust. The new dash looks clean and neat. There is not another car on the planet that compares. I have driven many Porsche's this thing is amazing.

As soon as it came of the truck my buddy Jeff Smith met me in his 996 GT3. We b-lined to Rothsport Racing in Portland OR. Jeff Gamroth. ( ex Alex Jobe crew chief) got the car up in the air and gave us an education. The brake cooling ducts are trick. When you hit the sport button you can hear the electronic valve re-directing the airflow from the front muffler. The change in the sound is crazy. The PCCB's look like the same size as the C GT right next to it. Many of the developments on the car he was testing many years ago with the Alex Jobe team It is amazing how much this car is like a race car. I can't wait to get it on the track.

those of you that are considering selling your alocation. Don't do it until you have a chance to drive it. If you can't aford it don't drive it. You will find a way to keep it. It is that good.

Pictures would not upload. I got an error message from 6 speed??

I have a few, let me do some digging. My RSA is my winter rally machine. I don't think your dad would appreciate a picture of it today. It is next to go in to Gamroths Shop. Lowering springs and maybe motons. The wife is going to flog it at the track this year.

I think I will miss the rally ride height. The stock set up is a great daily driver.
