Looks and sounds nice Derek (5 lbs per wheel!). I will probably regret selling them back to you a few months down the road.

Realistically for me, I might end up with a $150k DD, but not a $250k DD, just don't see myself affording that

The GT3 isnt a $250k car though...

Im not talking about a 911 GT2, GT3-RS, RSR or GT3 Cup car either...Just a 997 GT3 Which is around $120K. Trust me, i f you ever get the chance to drive one, its amazing. 435 NA RWHP is so much more fun than 480 awd from the turbo...IMHO...though I love both cars.

now that sounds like a VW! My wife used to have an old golf and it seemed everything electrical was tied together. The door lock stopped working on the driver's side so the rear windshield wiper wouldn't work. Stupid crap like that.

Well eventually the grommets come out of the firewall (radio antenna for the A1 fans) now water leaks down directly on the fuse panel!

Now you get all sorts of irradic electrical issues that make no sense at all. A panel replacement cost about $100 and life is GREAT!

I still think you were confused by what I was saying... 993 GT2 is my dream car, a 997 GT3 would be what I would buy over a 911 turbo any day of the week. Neither are $250k...
