Default Since we're on the topic of 2005 GT3s...

It seems like 05 GT3s are more common than we thought ... Here's mine! Bought it from a fellow rennlister ~1 month ago and I love it. I wanted to get something that could relay feel to my butt, hands and brain, this car does a spectacular job at doing that. Am looking forwards to learning this car, it's a special one! One complaint would be the exhaust, I usually don't like to mod cars (other than suspension) but I think this car deserves a proper setup.

What a machine

Looks like you're in the Bay Area. Maybe we can organize a 2005 6-3 meetup... and invite the 2004s.

Mine arrives Sunday. I doubt I'll get any seat-time until at least Wednesday, maybe later with this next storm coming.

Mike.

05 GT3s in the Bay Area? Ummmm I take mine out every Sunday and have yet to see another 996 GT3. They all must have moved to Austin.

haha, let me know, would be pretty cool to see a couple of these side by side. I've yet to see one in the wild
I try to go for a drive when dry, will probably be going alice's -> beach tomorrow

Right - I think I've seen just about everything other than a 6gt3.

I’ll miss tomorrow. My car just boarded a truck from AZ. Won’t be here until tomorrow around 3pm. I’m planning for a quick drive as soon as it arrives. I’m hopping to get up to Skyline maybe Friday, assuming things have dried out by then.

I temporarily relocated to Truckee but I'm down for a Bay Area drive with enough advance notice - my 6gt3 is currently stored in Santa Clara. It's an '04, but hopefully still good enough to get an invite!

Fellow Rennlister here, with an 08 RS who wants to play in the Bay Area with you all. I've had (3) 6-3's over the past 10 years and loved them all. Would truly running with you guys. Congrats to all for your recent purchases. The 6-3 is truly unique among all it's GT peers.

good timing, unfortunately a biker flew off 9 yday, a friend told me that the guy is alive.

Are you guys up for a drive this weekend? (assuming it's dry)
