Man that GT3 is one sweet P car. Probably my favorite ever. I have a 2004 996 C2 coupe. I love it, but a GT3 would kick so much ass. I cannot wait to see the new 997 GT3 in action.

You can still get the kit and you should be able to negotiate the price down from $1600. I've seen it as low as $1250 from Crevier BMW in Santa Ana, CA. Installation should be another $1K-$1.5K.

Soo...it's not too late....

Oh don't tease me..........Guys I spent some time in a long twisty road today, mindfull of the break in (not over 5k rpm for 800 miles.......And I have to tell you. This car handles as good as my 96 C4S, and is just as fast if not faster. I was damn impressed. This is my first ever sedan. And it blew me away.

Yeah, then you'll have to ditch the GT3 and get a 997 TT or GT2.

gt2 is just too much for most people to handle imo but the TT would be very nice

Here i'll buy you another 550 for your GT3. Given that it doesnt have a million miles on it.

GT3 has only 7k miles on it...its an 04.

I like it much better than a TT or a GT2. Not as fast as the 2, but more fun to drive IMO. Much better balanced

Now, what comes with the M5 aero package....is it just side skirts and a real spoiler, or does it come the the M5 lower front also??

The M-Tech Kit comes with the front sides and rear... fronts and rear are a little different, sides are the same... The rear spoiler is another $400 option on top of the $1300 package (*primed kit*)

That's the spirit. Nice comments from somebody that acutally drives prosches often. Wait till it brakes in so you can really give it the bees and then tell us what you think.

Thats not bad. I just worry no one will be able to match the paint. Silver is the worst for that kind of thing. I was look great though. I wonded if just the rear spoiler by itself would look cheesy??
