Looks great! I love that they had it under the cloth and I really want to try the track in LA.

The track is fun but nowhere near the same as a full sized track. Still worth it for the day if you're local. I'd consider a drive experience in either a Cayman GTS or 911 GTS. It's almost too small for the GT3 and the turbo-driven GTS may actually be more fun. It's the kind of track I'd love to take a high-powered go-kart or Ariel Atom onto!

Love the resale comments btw.

Leave it to clowns on the Interweb to tell you what you should've done and how you should've spent your money.

Well said.

To the OP, congrats on an absolutely awesome car, my favourite in fact.

Hope you have many happy motoring miles.

Yup, the GT3/RS is currently the only N/A 911 available. Makes me sad that the next one probably won't be.

Bye bye 9000rpm.....

NA engine sound is better than Turbo engine but the power is not very satisfaying.

Big Tree · 11-15-2018, 01:48 PM

That's a hell of a car, congrats!

She's at the detailer this week getting paint correction, ppf and ceramic coating and I'll share some pics when she's done. Here are a few more from pickup and driving CA33.

gatorfast · 11-16-2018, 09:18 AM

Amazing pics and such a stunning car. Enjoy it! I am sure it is a dream to drive.

Merlin_83 · 11-16-2018, 09:48 AM

Very nice indeed !

One of the co-owners of the small engineering firm I work for just did a European Delivery of his GT3 - it took him almost a year cause he ordered custom orange color. He said it's the only one of it's kind

Did you purchase outright, cash & finance it or lease ?

Thank you,
Merlin

I don't want this to turn to a finance vs. cash vs. lease thread. Lord knows we have 1,000,000,000 of those on here already.

Leasing Porsches, especially GT cars, typically never works in your favor. I used cash for the bulk of it and did the remainder on a loan (<3%, 72 months) since it's basically free money.

"Then why not finance the whole thing"? Because as much as I'm a proponent of financing when done right, I didn't want a six-figure auto loan on my balance sheet.

Nothing better than GT Silver. Congrats OP.

Nobody wants a 10k brake job. I know a lot of Porsche folk that take off the PCCB's for that reason alone.

The Automotive Enthusiast · 11-19-2018, 09:13 AM

Very tasteful build. Enjoy it in good health!

Alfisti · 11-19-2018, 10:49 AM

Fantastic motor vehicle, personally would have gone a touch more bold on the colour but each to his own.
