Welcome to the club. Mine is similar spec actually.

If you want loud, look up the exhaust unplug mod.

Don't let the dreamers get to you with their "paid too much" or seats bullst. Cracking car, 2yrs warranty and looks in top condition, you will be smiling from ear to ear for years. I'm 2 years in, just renewed my warranty for another year and still love it to bits.

Enjoy.

Thanks - well I don't really care what anyone else thinks it's worth as I did the deal and couldn't get it any cheaper than I did! I really wanted the warranty and peace of mind that comes with it, so to some extent I was always going to end up paying more. I don't fit into the bucket seats, so that's easy, but I really can't wait to drive it on familiar roads!

If it's anything like unplugging the PSE on a C2S - I'm guessing this is seriously loud as it's lovely and vocal even in normal mode ......

+1 on the brakes, if they're not as described above then there's something not quite right with them.

Oh no - hugely reassuring from first squeeze and they just get better as they get hotter .... I don't think they've ever been used in anger .....

GT3s of any flavour are stunning! What hp is it?

TX.

415bhp - but I hear that the good ones knock out more like 430bhp .....

I seem to recall on the other thread you posted that you'd tried "my" car ! - I've not even seen it yet as bought over the phone , we're going to Monaco in the morning for five days - think I'd rather drive down to 911 V and collect my new car - I really can't wait, it's going to be a long week !

Hope you enjoy yours this weekend

Steve

Congrats back - it is a really lovely car and yes I drove it about 10 days ago. It has a nicer (read lighter) clutch than the one I've bought, but otherwise feels identical; still tight! I would have bought "yours" if it wasn't for the seats which I don't fit into!! Really hope you enjoy ....

so they void the entire factory warranty? given this is either an '07 or '08, how much more coverage does it have left?

the factory diff IS very likely an open diff. not enjoyable at all.

It's a late '07 and it's got a warranty until July 2014 .....

Have you picked it up yet ?

How is it ?

Any more photos ?


Collect mine on Saturday - can't wait !

Sorry - no more photos as I was driving it on Sunday when the sun was out and rain / work has gotten in the way since then!

However, I fully understand the (justified) excitement and wish you all the best for "collection day"! You'll love it as it's a cracking car / drive!
