Congrats Spie
As said before. It's great see someone achieve their dreams.

Drive it like you stole it but don't stop riding the busa.

Are you definately getting a GT3, Eyedot? Is it going to be a brand new one and when do you get it?

Why don't you get an X50 instead

Yeah, names on the list, 17mths wait, puts me around Jan 2005 delivery.

If i take it is another option, i am considering selling my build slot nearer the time for a nice premium... or taking delivery and reselling on.

I would Love an X50, i just cant justify the extra £20k..

But the plan is once the GT3 build slot is sold / Car is sold... I should be able to easily get a yr old model..


but hopefully, along time before but who knows


For the mean time, Lets just stand back and admire the X50 thats already ordered

Congrats Spie

bets on how long before he gets a RUF?

Certainly an amazing car, all that grip and all that power, perfectly suited for this country

That's without the extra's and X50 kit iirc

Tbh I agree with Eyedot. The difference between the Turbo and the GT3 is not only money, but traction control, 4wd and other driver aids. For me it'd be a GT3 clubsport with buckets, rollcage and no other heavy-ass stuff to slow me down

Y'all just be rememberin that your GT3 and Turbos are a cut above, derived from a real porsche engine - with air cooling

Does the X50 come with the ceramic brakes (i think thats what they are) If not are you gonna get some Spie??

 

[Snow-Munki]

Very nice...

Concrats !!

might have missed it but how much are they new ?

 

[Spie]

Ceramic brakes are great on the track, but require some heat before they work well. They are also an extra £7K. Big Reds are better for the road.

[Stormster]

Blimey.. now thats a proper car

You've done well m8, all in 5 years eh! Nice

 

[SDK^]

wow, amazing

This is the car I dream of owning but sadly at the moment it would require a lottery win.

Enjoy

 

[blun]

That is truly awesome!

Are you going to take it on the track, or keep it purely as a road car?

(And is Mrs Spie allowed to drive it? )

 

[[TW]Fox]

You *MUST* take this on the track

The first time I read that I thought it just said 0-100 so I was gonna say that it can't be right.

Then I noticed the extra "back to 0mph" bit and realised

Very, very nice car. I'm sure that part of it must be owned by me, for all the purchases I've made with yourselves, maybe the ashtray or summat

lol, my corsa woudl only just be at about 70 byt then
