A lot of the 997 GT3s that have come on the market in the last couple of weeks are white - they look STONKING!! And a bargain if you happen to have £65k lying around

I doubt it will be worse than either of my Scoobs - the Spec C was low 20s and my STi V did around 17mpg! I don't think most Scoob owners car about petrol costs either, if they did they would be driving Fabia diesels

I was lucky enough to drive a GT2 at Longcross a few years back when my mate was having his car photographed for a magazine article.
Power oversteer available in the dry at practically any speed
You are very, very lucky. It's on my shortlist of lottery win cars

Thank you all - your comments are very kind. It is a car I always dreamed of and I set myself a target that when my business (I set it up four years ago) reached a certain revenue then I would get myself my dream car.
I have reached my target - it was a nice motivator.
The great thing about the GT3 (apart from that engine) is that it is based on the Carrera 4 bodyshell which is a stiffer base but also narrow bodied. This helps both aerodynamics as well as nimbleness. It is one of the many things that makes this car special - it is barely bigger than the Scoob which means it can really be used on the road unlike Ferraris and Lambos. Event the GTR has a much bigger footprint.
As you can tell I am very excited

Been considering one for myself for some time
Will wait and see what the newer GT3's are like - with the lack of finance available I cannot see the huge waiting lists that effected the previous GT3's that were all sold and on large waiting lists
I cannot think of the GTR - just too heavy for the track - sure the stats are good but with that weight it will soon eat through everything
I'm sure you good have got one a long time ago ;-)
Hope your business continues to thrive

Lovely looking car
MUCHO respect for the whole "reward" thing too.
Nice to see a success story in these woeful times
Is it going to be a daily driver or have you got something else to pootle about in?
