Default **UPDATED WITH PICS** Finally!!!! Dell is a GT3 owner!!!!

**EDIT** Now with pics and spec's!
2004 GT3
Speed Yellow
Black Full Leather
Thicker Steering Wheel
Black Mats with Lettering
Speed Yellow Seat Belts
Cruise Control
Xenon Headlamp Package
GT3 Euro Leather Seats with Crest in Headrest
A/C
Yellow Dials
Painted Center Console in Speed Yellow
Center Console Delete
Ruf Style Pedals ala Carnewal
Carbon Shifter
Hard Wired V1 (Thanks Gioel!!!!!)

Here are a few pics of her. Enjoy!

I will be taking her to the track 2-3 December up to VIR for a weekend of bonding time

I will give a full writeup at that point. But I can say this. This acceleration is mind-numbing and the sound of the flat-6 at the top of the power band in intoxicating! Oh yeah, and the brakes will throw you eyes right out of your skull. I can't imagine what happens when I get the RS19's or 29's and new fluid in there for the track event.

This car is everything I hoped it would be and more. Thanks to everybody for helping me finally made the decision to get this fine machine. I feel like a kid all over again.

From the other night when I got her home:
Ok, so a 2.5 hour flight to Ft Lauderdale from Raleigh and then an 800 mile drive home (10 hrs!) and I am finally home and have introduced her to her new roommate

Here she is all snug in the garage after the long trek back to North Carolina.

I can't tell y'all how pooped I am right now. I need a martini and some rest.

Pics and writeup to come this weekend.

Thanks to all (especailly Marcelo and Gioel) for making this happen. Glad to finally be a part of the 3 club


Cheers,
Attached Images

Looks great Dell! Get some sleep - 10 hours in a GT3 will knock you around a bit!

Thanks B! My *** is still asleep. I think I lost feeling somewhere around Savannah, GA. Those damn GT3 Euro seats are great on the track but not made for 800 mile treks.

Raleigh to Ft Lauderdale in 10 hours - sounds like a great way to bond with the car! Hope you had a Val 1 watching over you.

Congrats. My time is coming soon (est completion date 12/1). I spent the past weekend at VIR, and my friend graciously allowed me to drive his brand new (3600 miles) '04 gt3. WOW!!! I can hardly wait for mine.

-K.
