Congrats. Nothing wrong with options, I like them. If this was 2 months ago before I got the turbo, I would have jumped on it

 

Congrats. Can't wait to see it on our Seattle area drives. After seeing and hearing Vincent's, you could have paid $1000 for blinker fluid and it would have been worth it.

Welcome to the board and congrats on the GT3!

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=91859 ... we wanna see you there!!

 

Congrats and welcome. It's your money, spend it how you like. My Gt3 RS is fully optioned also and I love it. I actually used the Nav in a rally I did with the car. You will not always be on the track or you would have bought a full race car, and for the times you are on the street, those comfort options come in handy.

 

Congrats on that car. That's a beauty. I have a customer who ordered his '08 GT3 almost like yours. I can't wait to see it. You will have a blast with it. I would honestly rather buy your car than a 997 Turbo. Both nice cars, but the GT3 is the nicest 911 I have ever driven. Maybe the new GT2 will be better, but that wasn't the case with the 996 GT3 and GT2 I think. I hope you have a great time with the car, and enjoy all the options!

By the way, Porsche is only sending 105 GT3's to the US for 2008. It will be a hard to get car.

 

Congrats and Enjoy

 

Not just a race car, you'll enjoy the options everyday. Hope to see you and the new GT3 soon. If you had to pay "more" at least your but will enjoy sitting on it everyday vs. using to pad someone else's rear!

 

I find this funny since I thought the same exact **** after I slept on the thought.... But when I called you already bought it!!!!

congrats and great choice!

 

Just remember a substantial number of the "experts" that profess wisdom on the proper way to option the car, what to pay, etc, do not even own one!

 

Way to go Seattle Sun. Looking forward to your comparison with the ex-997S.

 

Well, I think many, including myself, who own both cars would disagree with that. They are just different.

I love the GT3, but GT2 rules!

 

My Point Exactly. IF THESE GUYS "experts" DON'T OWN ONE (GT3 OR RS), OR ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING ONE, THEY ARE IN NO POSITION TO GIVE ADVICE as to options or cost of the car.

Thanks!

 

Enjoy the 3 !

 

Almost everyone who has driven a properly set up GT2 & GT3 agreed the GT2 was the superior car. The GT2 got a lot of immediate negative press when it came out, then it was later discovered that the press cars suspensions were horribly out of whack and set up incorrectly, as were many of the first cars to leave the factory which ultimately may have been the reason for such low manufacturing numbers and not the price like most speculated. Once the factory discovered and corrected this problem, it was much too late because all of the major mags had already done their tests and their comparison's to the GT3 left them lacking in handling when compared to the GT3 due to the "untuned" suspension of the early press cars. Once they were properly set up (still stock, but within the correct spec settings) they were like a completely different car. Excellence magazine documented this fact and later reccomended that anyone with a GT2 take it in and get it properly alligned and set up which brought new life to them and got rid of the "nervousness" that the car formerly exhibited.

Seattle Sun, Congrats on the car. I don't want to be misconstrued about what I said. Yes you paid a lot for your car, but you did get a fully loaded car and you paid sticker. What I was simply saying was that everyone jumped to say what a great job Carlos and Suncoast were doing because they were selling the car at MSRP. What I was saying is had the car been a low option car, they probably would have asked a premium over sticker. But due to the already high price due to the options on the car, it would be very difficult to justify anything over sticker because that would have put them into a territory that would have not only been frowned upon by customers, but more importantly, probably the likes of PCNA. If this is how you wanted to have your car optioned, I say AWESOME! Again congrats, and what I posted in the other thread had nothing against the "future" buyer of this car, just wanted to point out the fact that this car was a heavily optioned car that would be difficult to sell above MSRP like they could with a lesser optioned car. Example, they probably could have sold a $115,000 GT3 with a $6000 dollar mark up over MSRP much more quickly at $121,000 than a heavily optioned car at $132,000 with that same premium which would have put it up to $138,000 which is about what they'll pay for a well equipped Turbo. At which point they have to ask themselves, what they're looking for in a car. If it's for sheer brute kick you in the *** power, and daily commuting they're going to probably decide for the same price they're better off with a Turbo. If it's for modding and runs to "Mexico", then again for the same price, they're much better off with the Turbo. If they're track junkies, then they're better off with the GT3, however would most likely prefer a stripped version low on options. So I hope you (and others) see why I said the things I did and that it wasn't a strike at you or anyone else who would have bought this car. It's a beautiful car and I could only imagine the smiles it gives you everytime you open the door and insert the key into the ignition much less the giddy school girl laughs it brings you when you depress the pedal all the way to the floor. I sincerely, hope you enjoy it. Welcome to the 6 speed community. drive safely and let's see some pix (exterior and interior)!

 

Congrats on the car! Drive it in good health. Track that baby!!

There is an old saying "Price is what you pay - Value is what you get"!

Scott - I understood your post before this one. I think sometimes we are too quick to jump on someone for putting a negative spin on something that wasn't directed at the buyer but more at the dealer/manufacturer.

Get 200 miles on it and then let her rip. Hell just let her rip!!



Congrats once again!
