1st day of GT3 ownership

My car is here. A basic white GT3 with PCCB
I sold my '06 Ferrari 430 because I never really connected with it.

The 911 is simply unbelievable

It is everything I wanted the Ferrari to be:
Competent
Fast
Ergonomic
Hugely grin inducing
Not too flashy on the road.

The engine pulls like a freight train.
I’m having Sharkwerks do a bunch of mods done the week of the 25th
I'll post pictures after Alex is done.

The 430 was a beautiful object - and I had the good fortune to be able to buy it new exactly as I thought I'd want it.

At the risk of starting a long thread off topic, my issues were:

too inappropriate to drive to work
too expensive to drive anywhere someone might scratch it
too uncomfortable and loud for a long trip

So the only thing I found it good for was the Sunday morning run up Skyline at 6 am once a month. I owned it 18 months and put 900 miles on it. It was too precious for me to enjoy.

And you are taking your car to the right guys for mods! Say hello to the Sharkster and James for me. You're going to love the car even more when those two are done with it.
