As a fellow C4S PDK owner, I'm really curious to get your impressions after you've had the GT3 for a while. That is my plan too: C4S -> GT3.

As it won't be my only car, I don't think a GT3 will be "too firm" to be a weekend car. I'm looking forward to more reports...

Chris, I thought the ride would be too harsh for street driving. So far all I've done is slow street driving and it's just fine. Even my wife finds the it fine as a passenger. I guess the adaptive seats may soften the ride somewhat. The GT3 is not my main daily car either.

As I get more used to the car I'll report in. My impressions so far is that I should have made the switch a long time ago! The car is a thrill to drive... loving it!

Nice looking car. Congrats.

Out of curiosity, what specifically could you not come to "terms" with on your previous car?

It's a long story which has led to an extensive discussion on another forum but in short its about my dissatisfaction with a C4S with PDK that I bought 3 months ago. I switched from a 997 TT to a 997.2 PDK and as much as I liked the car there was something missing... involvement with the car. For my purposes, my P car is a sports car and should be an event when I drive it, the PDK tranny didn't do it for me. I found it to be super quick but just not as involving as I would like it to be. I'm not going to be able to shift or go as quick as any P car is capable of but I want to have fun driving the car. The PDK'd 4S just didn't do it for me. Hence the move to a GT3. Hoorah!

Thanks BH, hmmm black is beautiful when clean...

The sticker is gone and the car goes in tomorrow for a nice detail and gets ready for its 450 mile trip to it's new home in TN.
