Default Pulled the trigger...

Picked this 2012 GrandSport 1LT with 8700 miles on it up yesterday. Came with a Corsa Xpipe already installed and a new set of rear tires as spares. I figured $40K was a fair price!

I'm going to daily drive it and use it as a back up for DE instruction. I have several racecars/trackcars that are always states of repair and it would be great to have something I can instruct in when the others are down... This is a great car for the job, based on my research!

I would agree! I have been using my 996tt for same purpose, really miss my z06 on the street since it's now a race car it was so easy to live with. I have found myself in the c6s for sale section looking for a another Z.

My last 996TT...




Loved that car and was so much fun to drive anywhere... Hoping this GS gives me those kinds of memories!!

Me too. I gawk at the Porsche GT's at the track all the time. Would love a 2010 but they keep going up in value

You picked the right color!

I can attest to these things being a blast on the track.
