Should have asked johnsgt prior to purchasing this car. Apparently it's slow and a huge disappointment.

7.1 GT3 is one of my favorite 911 ever. I hope one day I'll be in the position to buy one. Congrats and enjoy her !

While at GMG I had the GT3 treated to a full WC Sport exhaust incl headers, sport cats, and midpipes. A BMC air filter was dropped in and some maintenance items were handled (oil, plugs, etc). GMG also lowered, corner balanced, and aligned the car for me. Should have a nice, neutral balance on the track now. I'll get to test that out soon as I have a couple track events scheduled in March.
The car baselined 332whp/246wtq and picked up almost 30whp and 8 ftlbs more at 361whp/252wtq (Mustang dyno) after the exhaust and GIAC tune were uploaded. Not too bad!
The car was loaded up on the truck last night and is headed my way! More soon.

I drove a GT3 today, and I was IMPRESSED!!
She arrived today! Just a beautiful car. And I'm so happy to get back into a black car. As challenging and time consuming as black paint can be, it just feels like home.
The Cup splitter installed by GMG is fantastic and takes a beating well (as I discovered exiting a gas station today). The exhaust system is just phenomenal. Weather went the wet way today so I didn't get a lot of wheel time. The short bit I was able to sneak in was really, really fun. The car is just FUN to drive. I'm looking forward to getting to know her a lot better!
The ride and feel of the GMG setup is just GREAT. Those guys did a wonderful job all-round. Thanks again Allen and Fabryce!!
Hoping to get more hours in tomorrow and start enjoying the honeymoon!
A few arrival pics:
Early arrival! Reliable did a great job. Not a lot of communication, but they were really fast.
There she is!!
Gimme Gimme Gimme!!!
The driver left the key in the ignition while in-transit, which killed the battery. So today I learned how to pop the boot with a donor battery in the fuse box! Interesting method! We finally got her started. I felt bad for the driver because I think he felt bad for not knowing that it would drain the battery. After a quick jaunt to the gas station I tidied her up then tucked her in for the night. It was a short drive, but I was able to enjoy the GMG exhaust which is one of the sickest things I've heard on a car that wasn't running in a Petite LeMans race! I LOVE it!! Absolutely worth every penny.
While the weather was turning, I decided to install the DEPO/Dectane LED tails I had just received a few days prior. The install was a snap and they are BEAUTIFUL and work great. I'm really glad I picked these up.
