Congratulations, That machine is sweet. Enjoy in the greatest of health.

 

Congrats! What a nice car. How do you like it? Any reviews? I'm also looking one myself but still cannot decide. Also, care to mention the final out the door price of the car? You can PM me if you want.

 

It's ****ing insane. It feels like it's powered by fire. A land rocket. Handling-wise, I'm not sure. I did an autox with it the other week, and it stuck pretty well. I'll be at VIR this weekend, so we'll see how it does.

It needs an alignment, but I can't manage to get one done before VIR and I didn't get my tarret toe links in yet.

I bought the car from a friend. I'd rather not say what I got the car for. Sorry.

 

very nice gt3 man..... congrads on ur new toy

 

Have fun at VIR. What was your previous car before the GT3? I test drove one and not so sure about the handling as well. Perhaps, it might also needing the alighment bad. Not sure.

 

I had a Boxster S.

 

Gorgeous looking machine. Congratulations and enjoy VIR!

 

Very nice indeed!

 

These cars can be the best handling cars and the worse handling cars depending on the alignment. It is very sensitive and if you track the car, you should have it done 3-4 times a year IMO. If the alignment is done right, it is phenomenal. Have them lower it a bit for you as well.

 

That's what I hear. Unfortunately I didn't receive my toe links in time, so the alignment will happen after VIR. I'll take it a bit easy tomorrow. Thanks Luis.

Edit
Damn I called Luis, Lois, sorry, I must have had my gf on my mind (that's her name).

 

As much as I love the 997GT3, there's something about the 996GT3 that I still like. Simple and understated, yet an absolute beast.

 

that car has to be one of my favourties .. just beautiful

 

Thanks. I'm really enjoying the car. It's a beast.

 

Whelp, I just spent the last weekend (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) at VIR (Virginia International Raceway : http://www.virclub.com) with the car. Long story short, the car is absolutely amazing. I started off with PS2s and I wore the fronts out after 6 sessions. They were pretty worn on the insides to begin with. I then switched to Michelin cups, man what a difference. I LOVE this car. It was quite different than the way my boxster s drove. Funny thing was I was trying to drive the same way, and I was chasing apexes for the first two sessions. After getting used to the car, it became very predictable and pretty stable under high-speeds (145+). The back coming out was no big deal, and you had plenty of time to catch it and react (CPR).

I didn't have the time to get everything installed, and the thing I missed the most were my euro GT3 seats. Driving without harnesses and seats was pretty tiring because I had to hold onto the steering wheel with a kung fu grip!

Any of you guys on the fence about the 996 GT3.. just pull the trigger. You won't regret it.

 

Shawn,
I didn't know Saabs would go 25 mph over the speed limit ?
