Congrats... a real beauty!

 

My dad rocks a Toyota Avalon. You win!

 

awesome car and spec!

 

What differences did you note specifically between 996 and 997?

Congrats!

 

Thanks everyone for the positive comments...I will definitely pass them along! He is incredibly happy with it and actually plans to drive this one!

He sold the last GT3 w/ only 3-4K miles after a couple years of owning it and most of that millage was my doing. He drove this one back from Nashville and has already put about another 1K miles on it since then!

 

downright sexy! Spec is awesome!

 

A few things jump out immediately. First off, his other GT3 was silver and the white definitely 'pops' a lot more on first glance. Also, I was never really the biggest fan of the 996 body style, so just in terms of exterior aesthetics this is a huge improvement for me.

The interior of the 997's is also a huge improvement. The leather/alcantera looks and feels amazing esp. with the white deviated stitching. All in all the quality and appearance of the interior on the 997 vs. the 996 is as astounding to me.

Now for the shit that people actually care about. While the 996GT3 didn't exactly sound like a Prius, this new car sounds intoxicating (even with stock mufflers) with the sport button on. Holy shit, I was blown away by how good it sounded running through the RPM range, especially past 5-6K. Also, the throttle response and force of acceleration seem to be really improved over the 996.

He is planning on a AWE or Fabspeed center muffler delete so I will try and grab a vid after that!

 

Shark it up!

 

Congrats to your dad.

 

You have such a cool dad, massive congrats on the new car.
