Re: Christmas Present For Myself
I actually spent about a year considering the different cars available. Once I decided what I wanted, it took over a year to get the GT3. It turned out that it's a low production car with demand probably a little more than production. I considered other cars like R8, Aston Martin Vantage, Jaguar F Type R, Mercedes SL and Z06. I didn't feel the Mercedes was the same kind of car as the rest. Each car has a different feel and I liked the GT3. Although I didn't get to drive a Jaguar, SL or Z06, I did drive an SLS and a Stingray.

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
Recently watched a couple of How It's Made episodes featuring Porsches. Very impressive. One was about the 911 and the other was the 918 (I think). High tech, impressive craftsmanship.
The episode about the Tesla was pretty interesting, too. |

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
I don't blame you. I picked up a mint low mile 997.2 GT3 in guards red with full GMG suspension, wheels, tune, cup car shifter, cage etc. It is so much fun to drive fast or slow! The full GMG header/catalyst/exhaust is so awesome sounding that you would swear it was a 917 race car at 7000-8500 rpms.
I sold 3 ZR-1s to get it, and it was the best decision I've ever made! Zero regrets! |

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
Why no alcantara steering wheel? That and the alcantara shifter are my favorite parts of the interior. You've got way more alcantara in your interior than mine though - such an amazing interior!!

Re: Christmas Present For Myself
congrats on your new car. I agree that life is short so why not. I am not going to say it drives better or that i sold several zr1's to buy a porsche. Not on this site.It is un-American. I would never sell multiple zr1's to buy a porsche. I have never liked german performance cars and probably never will. I still appreciate what they can do but will always pull for the corvette. Enjoy your car and live long and prosper. Love your white Z!
