I saw your majestic build on RL.... wow these are amazing machines.

I was going to go with the SW bypass muffler but I can get the Cargraphic one 3 weeks earlier for a nominal amount more- so I did that.

There is always something faster but better? What a car but Ill wait for about 8 months to see where I am at with this machine.

I too backed out in Feb 2014 because of the Stop Sale and engine issues but I knew the car would come storming back in 2015. No wonder it has won so many awards.

Ha told you too, and you guys laughed at me ....we'll let's say Mike did

sucks have not driven my car in close to two weeks uggggg. Two more days to go and I'm back in the saddle. You guys are lucky.......here was my travel nightmare. JFKLHR, LHRAMS, AMSJFK, JFKATL, ATLJFK, JFKATL ......8 days. I'm on the second to the last leg now. Later boys back to my class of wine.

Right on. I always had my head stuck in the speed zone when comparing cars but you figure out that it is about the experience. I honestly cannot get myself out of the garage wanting to take it for a spin. I have the MAC in the garage at the moment while Porsche addresses a couple tings on the GT3 and I swear I still miss the GT3-lol! But the same goes for the MAC. Something about how that engine sounds so finely tuned and the "go kart" feel-wow! Very good compliments to each other. That is what I love about cars...the personalities.

And yeah, easy to see why the GT3 wins so many accolades. It's just hard to describe until you experience it. Keep in mind that I never drove one before I bought it. I took a quick ride in Henry's but that was it (and he and I have a different idea of what "break in" means-lol). So I jumped in mine, pulled out of the dealer and took that sucker straight to 9K. I almost sh*t myself!-LOL

Oh Henry where art thou? @Bimmer6

Oh I tinted the GT3 today... and ordered exhaust. I want more of what I already have with the sound and this car. All I do is drive the car in manual PDK-S mode. The fastest PDK of all my PDK rides: 991 Turbo S, 991 C4S, and 997.2 Turbo. The GT3 software is killer.

He is on a plane or knee deep in that bottle of wine. and STOP antagonizing-LOL

Which exhaust? I am same way. PDK-S Manual. I thought the TTS PDK was great. This is just about as perfect as it can be. So fast and sharp.

The SW is 4 weeks out so I got the Cargraphic (non silenced) item for a great price and here next week. I ran CG on 991 TT-S and 997.2 PDK TT and it had great sound. I love the CG on Sabine's 997 GT3 and the same exhaust basically bolts on to our 991's (even though I got a 991 GT3 specific part).

LOL I had a GTR in 2009 - great car but nothing I would go back to.

And there is no way Ill make any money on this car--- its just not going to rise up nor do I care. I have had 8 cars this year alone so Ill be sure to keep this one for a bit

My buddy just got a 599 GTB- now that's a fine piece of Italian art.
