thor is infamous around these parts
I'm switching to the 997GT3, but I'm holding my breath for the GT3 RS to come to the US. Oh yeah that reminds me....GT3 for sale, 9000 miles.

Agreed, I don't like all the fancy crap either. But....
* I like the new 19 inch rims and bigger tires
* I like the new non-teardrop lights
* I like the new aero package
* I like the 35 additional "factory" horsepower
* I like the new one piece interior dashboard
* The PASM doesn't bother me, I like the "sport" setting for track days

What I don't like:
* I hate the PCM navigation
* I hate all these acronyms!!! (PCM, TCS, PASM, etc..)
* I'm not crazy about the new console
* I hate the chrono...kinda cheesy
* I prefer the wider body of the C4S
* I hate traction control (but its not offered on the 997GT3)

What I wouldn't mind (but most likely not get in the US):
* RS in orange or green (at a reasonable price)
* Clubsport Package
* CGT carbon-fiber seats

Sure, I could probably build the 997GT3 with aftermarket parts and upgrades, but then I'd rather just get the new one

I have not finished the website yet, just got a couple of stock photos up yesterday, but I'll get real photos in the next couple of weeks, unless someone gets serious. Here is a link to the details of my car (and a good friend of mine owns the black one): http://www.gt3forsale.com
