[CSMRX7]

Last summer the M3 and GTR didn't get along so this year we will see if a GT3 can share the space :D

im dying inside :cry:

[962 kid]

Looks great. Have the coolant pipes been welded?

[urrforce]

lucky:bigpimp:

[Sorath]

Is that Niels' car?

[88CRX]

Faaaaaaaaaawk! :drool:

[CSMRX7]

To answer some questions, ya the SUV idea got scrapped pretty quick :)

Wife still has a DD but occasionally she drives the M3 and I think she likes it, or at least tolerates it.

As far as I know coolant pipe has not been done, but will likely take care of it soon.

Also this is not Niel's car, pretty sure it is the only GT Silver car in Canada.

Anyways pretty excited about the car, makes the M3 feel luxurious, but feels like an absolute weapon!

[Sorath]

Niel's is silver and local. He was selling it awhile ago and I was looking to buy it but decided against it for daily driving.

Nice purchase either way!

I've driven that car at the track, and did a bunch of the work on it. Great buy Jason, but its still slower then the 996TT

;)

[A2VR6]

Awesome buy man haha. I thought you hated Porsche's. Love the car tho :drool:

As I age I find its more about the journey and less about how fast I get there :D

Awesome car man, congrats!

I'll have to let you spend some time with my BS this summer, so you can do a comparison of the 2 cars.

no track so it doesnt matter, last of the true GT3 cars and being a 3.8L going to be very desireable down the road.


I should have the esprit on the road in May, we'll have to go for a cruise some time.

So true, not the best road car in the world but so engaging that it is a lot of fun to just go for a drive.

Looking forward to seeing the Lotus again, ts been a few years since it has been on the road!

Ya, plates on it expired in 2009...:rofl:

Should be quicker then the 996TT now

Beautiful car, I'm sure it's night and day to the GTR it replaces.

They are worlds appart. The GTR is an amazing piece of machinery but not very rewarding to drive. The GT3 really feels like it has soul and character which I really want in a car.

[CSMRX7]

Nice day for a drive, then stoped for a few pictures.

Nice car,

What do those go for used?

In before the "more than you can afford pal... Porscha.."

[brucebanner]

Man, I'm not a big fan of silver but my god Porches pull it off so well. Car looks stellar!

[max_boost]

Beautiful car! Very dynamic!

[shadowz]

Amazing buy, congrats on the purchase

[Canmorite]

Were you driving through Wentworth/Cougar ride area on Saturday? Saw a silver GT3 ahead of me, what a noise :eek:

[flipstah]

Looking good! :drool:

Second one might be hard to buy considering it's the car Jason just bought...lol

White car has been tracked HARD, I don't recognize it though.

[max_boost]

Do it up Stan. Join the Porsche club.

[Shlade]

Hmm so more than I make.

Which is nothing right now

cracks on the brake discs - don't get those from commuting or even spirited driving

that and the grooves, track pads make those. track use isnt a bad thing, just make sure the maintenance matches.

[Sorath]

the white one is from quebec, it was one of the ones i was looking at purchasing back then

[94boosted]

Beautiful, congrats!

So now you have two track cars, how boring could the GTR have been :rofl:

Haha it wasn't that the GTR was boring, but just not the right car for me. It was a lot of fun but not very rewarding to drive.

If you are serious I know of a very nice white 997 GT3 that is for sale. It's a canadian car and the owner is meticulous.

[soloracer]

Here's my latest......it's not a GT3 but it's good enough for me. Keeping it under wraps for now. ;)

17th ave. HARD :D

OP beautiful GT3, I would pick the 3 over the 2 anyday.

[rage2]

I think it's time for an "uncomfortable track car for the street" meet and cruise. :rofl:

You'd actually be surprised how streetable THAT car is, I flew down to check this car out for Erik and was very impressed with the previous owners setup. Spring rate is obviously not the 2500#/in units they were when raced...

Overall it's a very cool and unique car

[rx7_turbo2]

Better hope a certain lady doesn't lurk your posts Erik. ;)

The plastic obscures the fact the body and paint are in fantastic shape for what is essentially a race car. Little bit of work though before she'll be allowed on the public streets legally.

In an effort to not completely derail the thread, the GT3 looks great Jason, thats my favorite colour, congrats.

[dirtsniffer]

How about some Moar pics?

[soloracer]

Should have known the Beyond CSI would be good enough to determine make/model of car from a general shape and color. *lol* At the risk of offending Jason, here are the only pics I will post on this thread.

It would be interesting to compare the F355 Challenge to the GT3. My gut says that even though the F355 Challenge was a former race car it probably can't keep up to the GT3. Performance and technology have come a long way in the last 15 years.

My favourite ferrari. nice to see one in calgary. cool gt3 also.

[CSMRX7]

Car looks great Erik, I am up for the comparison, Rage wants to compare to the BS as well.

So the mod bug hit again surprise surprise! Ordered a GMG World Challenge Exhaust today.

Having gotten a ride in the BS, how much more harsh is the ride going to be in the GT3 and 355 Challenge? It would be interesting to do a side by side by side comparison of all three.

Any 997 GT3 would easily outpace your car, let alone a 3.8 997.2 GT3. With the GMG exhaust sound would be impressive but not many cars sound better then a 355 with an exhaust, let alone one with 360 challenge headers and an exhaust...although I think Arlyn could vastly improve the exhaust on your car.

probably very similar in ride, this challenge isn't stiffly sprung at all, very similar to a stock one I would wager. I'd like to check out the BS closer as well, ran with him on a charity ride to Banff last year, pretty cool car for sure. Should have had a better look at it there...

[Redlyne_mr2]

Time to arrange a cruise gents.

[Tej.S]

:drool: Would it be considered rude if I asked how much it cost you? If so, disregard. I'm not a big fan of the color, but theGT3 is lookin REAL nice in silver :D

The BS is less stiff than a C63 with the P30 package. When rage posted the statement of an "uncomfortable" track car, I asked him what the hell he was talking about. The BS is very comfortable.

haha I don't think you had enough time with the BS. It's comfy on Crowchild and Deerfoot, but drive around inner city it's pretty bad. Speed bumps, I find it unbearable at any speed. I made the mistake of driving it behind the Foothills hospital, where there's 1000 mini speedbumps, and it was unbearable.

We'll have to trade this summer too when your new ride shows up.
