Would love to see that white deviated stitching, I'm considering ordering it on my next one.

Like that. Looks really cool!!!!

Have fun and don't forget to pull the plug now and again for that little bit extra from the exhaust.

That white deviated stitching doesnt look much different from the light grey deviated stitching thats stock.

OldGuy,

No it looks pretty distinct to me. The two sides of the center console stack did not get the dev stitch (guess the original owner screwed up spec'ing the car) and the difference is night and day. With the white rear center console, it pops out.

Congrats TMC! The GT3 is a very special ride...much more raw than C2S. Enjoy in good health!

So drove it a bunch today, not enough to shake it out completely, but I got the measure of it.

LeonardoC2S, you're right-- it's far more involving than a C2S (my heretofore favorite 911 variety).

Compared to the Turbo, it's practically a feather on wheels. I hereby formally don't get the Turbo's attraction with a car like this around. I guess if you need four back seats?? Um.

Around Atlanta, it's hard to really open it up on the street. (Decatur cops have been pulling over everyone and writing tickets, even for five over, on 285... ) But when I was alone and clear... honestly, it pulls better than the Turbo. It's linear rather than the whoosh turbo warpdrive thing.
