Nice! Porsche is my favorite "practical" car brand. Great choice!

Very nice and well optioned.
I have a 06 C2S, and the car puts a huge grin on my face every time I drive it. They are amazing cars. I can't imagine having the performance of the GT3.
PCA has a very active group in GA, and I highly recommend the DE events they put on, and you have the perfect track car. Get clear bra'd, and go racin!

Met up with Dr.DrilZ today at our Caffeine and Octane meet. The car is absolutely magnificent. He was nice enough to let us sit in it (and offer to drive it) and look around while we chatted. The seats are incredible, they fit my big frame well and there is tons of headroom. Compared to a 911 the ride height is obviously lower inside. The centerlock wheels look fantastic and the car just looks the business. The Black has these nice flakes in it compared to a normal black car.

Car is just sick!

Very cool.

To DrDrilz, can you give us a few more details about the car. I assume you bought it new due to the break in process. Now that it's completed, your thoughts?

Daily driveable? Must have options? Casually been looking at some 911's and am curious about your experiences thus far. Thanks in advance.

car is awesome. the sound! i have the sharkwerks bypass on it and its even better now. handling is a step up from my previous carrera S and tons better than the turbo. daily driver? not for me. its so low you have to be very careful and then still you scrape everything. the clutch is pretty heavy, so in traffic it would get tiring. and then you have the michelin sport cup tires which suck in the cold and rain. the optional premium stereo sucks.
this car is loud, rough, and raw. but thats why i love it for weekend drives. after driving my mercedes with a nice quiet interior it feels good get into the gt3, roll down the windows, radio off, and rip it up into the higher revs
