Thanks, Guys! I appreciate the props.
Now, for you crazy guys that prefer the very outdated stock wheels to the HREs, here's a pic for you.

Congrats Scott. Honestly, I like the stock wheels better. But I'd love to see the '04-'05 GT2 wheels on it with black centers, now that would look HAWT!! Enjoy, how do you like the sound of the switzer exhaust?

What a beauty! I really do prefer the look of the car with the factory wheels vs. the HRE wheels.
Please enjoy one of the best / most evil Porsches ever to be built.

Looking good, Scott! Welcome back to the 996 family!
What is your plan with this car? Any future mods??
Enjoy in good health!

HRE 542s look great on the car Scott. The only thing I would change visually on the car is possibly the seats. 997 GT3 seats?

Rep Power: 788 As far as mods, I have a few ideas in mind. Nothing set in stone yet, though.

Rep Power: 788 I agree the GT3 seats look better, but the GT2 seats are also very light and much more comfortable. I had GT3 seats in my 996TT and they weren't the most comfortable for a street car.

Thanks. Here's my thoughts on the two cars:
The Z06 is fast, well-balanced and handles well. I like how it sounds and how it looks. I dislike the notchy shifter, the quick-to-fade brakes, the low interior quality, and the paint quality. I also dislike the fact that many components were under-built from the factory (pistons, transmission, differential and half shafts, to name a few). I don't expect it to be at the same level of quality as the GT2, but for $80k, I think it should be better. I also think that the ZR1 is a better car than the Z06, but not by much.
The GT2 is also fast, well-balanced and handles well. I also like it sounds and how it looks. I love the buttery shifting, the quality interior components, the paint quality, the simplicity, and the over-built strength of the stock engine and drivetrain. It's built like a $195k car should be, IMO.
