    Preliminary GT3 RS Order Update

    As some of you know, I thought my heart was set on a Riviera Blue GT3. Well, it turns out that I was pulled over to the dark side - the Grey Black side that is. Smiley

    I went to my dealer on Saturday and put together the perfect GT3 RS. Build date will be sometime in November or December, or with a little bit of luck, perhaps sooner.

    The car will have the red graphics and wheels, PCCB, lifter, full black leather, GPS, red dials, dynamic lights, sound package, thicker steering wheel, and a few painted parts on the interior (among some other small things).

    I couldn't be happier. The sales person I worked with was very helpful and not pushy like most others. He provided a very comfortable and honest environment in which the car came together naturally. My wife and daughter are also very exited.

    Now please, don't send me any new GT3/GT3 RS images or I might have to change my mind, and my avatar, again. Smiley

    Wise choice. You will not regret it.

    Only one small caution: This is totally personal but make sure that YOU really want the red dials. This seems to be one of those "hit or miss" features that people love... or hate.

    Once again, good choice

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Can someone that has red dials post a photo of them at night?

    Thank you!

    Congrats Pilot!

    Im in the same boat. Ordered mine for December '10 delivery. I know how excited you are. I dream about it every day :) 

    I got the Aqua Blue with White gold accents, but plan on deleting the decals and painting the gold accents with a dark titanium silver. Some people may obejct but I'd like to add a stealth look to it.

    I was inclined to get the regular GT3 initially because I plan to use it as my daily driver but somehow I got lucky and found an available slot to order an RS and could not resist.

    Are you planning on using it regularly or is this going to be your garage queen? I wonder what tires could be fitted that provide better treadwear without grip compromise. any ideas?

    Congrats to you as well. You only have to wait about two more months. As of right now our RS has a December built date, and delivery will be in January. We are also very excited. Nope, it will not be a garage queen :)

    I changed my order to grayblack with black contrasting color and decals, no red dials but red air vent slats instead. It will look almost like this:
