Hello brother Porschers,

Just popped over form the Noble section to introduce myself and my new baby


Comfort spec and ceramics. Hopefully it will be a long and fruitful relationship. It will also be interesting to compare the two cars side by side for a few months.

Cheers

Sam

Hi Sam.

We met at the last Vmax. Fantastic car mate. Well done.

Are you bringing it to the next Vmax? I have a mate going with me (polar993) who fancies a GT3 next. I'm sure we'd both love a ride in it!!

Interesting that you chose a car with ceramic brakes. I guess the GT3 will spend most of its time on the road and not the track?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the welcome, sorry I'm not very good at replying (only get on the internet every now and then).
I went for the ceramics even though I plan to track the car a few times this year, but I never drive particularly 'balls-out' on circuit just enjoy the handling so I don't think the ceramics will be particularly stretched by this. Hopefully.

The car is Atlas Grey, now Gritter Grey after the inclement weather over the last couple of days. The car was bought from Silverstone Porsche (thanks Daniel if you're reading) and has done 1000 miles.

So far I love it, though the lack of TC and the greasy roads have not really allowed for me to open it up. TBH I'm just getting used to the odd weight distribution.

Cheers all.

Sam

ps. Hi Mr. Senna -I'm coming to Vmax but can't decide whether to bring it or the Noble. So many porsche's go and the Noble is a bit different (it was a bit off colour last time as well, so its got something to prove -156mph??)

You should come and join all of the other GT3 owners at Bedford on the 25th March. There are about 20 GT3's booked in so far.

You can book at www.fastrakdays.com

S3am, yes lots of pork at Vmax's, however lots of Nobles have run, but I don't recall a non RS GT3 having run before?

Go on take the GT3....

I see from the Vmax threads that you are bringing the GT3. Excellent!!

Nice looking wagon - welcome on board. Like the yellow callipers, in the non polio sense :-), mine red and look less flash for it.
