Thanks for all the kind words!

Bi-Xenon headlamp package
Foot Rest Aluminum
Heated Front Seats
PCCB
Sound Package Plus
Fire Extinguisher
Chrono
Spoiler Lip Painted
Wheels Painted in Dev. Color (Cobalt Blue)
Euro side markers

(I have the soft black spoiler lip mounted in these pictures after what I saw on 4 other 997 GT3's at the track last weekend, I think it looks better with the white spoiler lip)

That's is a beautiful combo, very unique.

I had already joined the forum last year, I just haven't posted much (yet). What was a bit surprising was I still hadn't taken delivery yet when I first saw this thread, and I really still don't have any really good pictures yet.

I knew the color scheme was going to be unique, and it has been a lot of fun reading the reactions to it.

I had this car out on the track yesterday... I am completely blown away how the GT3 comes alive on the track. It sounds great as the engine revs, PCCB's are awesome, I was braking early all day. Heal / Toe wasn't bad after I got used to how strong the PCCB's initally grab. I was running a track alignment, PASM normal, TC on, Sport on, seemed great.

Heck, the weather is nice, I am going to drive out to the track again today!

I know how you feel! On the track it comes alive and sounds fantastic as well. I also ran like you did, PASM normal, TC on, Sport on just without the track alignment, had the dealer do a standard factory alignment before I picked mine up.

Video of my GT3

Here's a little video clip from yesterday at the track. I got a friend of mine to mount my camera in his C6 Z06 and to get some video of my car on the track... enjoy!
