Sold my GT350

[AirBusPilot]

Yeah, I sold it. Well, I traded it in.

There was nothing wrong with it, in fact, it is a great car. No quality issues, panels aligned great, paint great, no oil consumption, ran hard, etc.

This car dominates on a track, it all comes together there. But, I don't track it and never will. It's street driven, what makes it work well on a track doesn't necessarily work on the street. Powerband is one issue. And, let's face it, the interior is subpar, but "good enough" for it being a Mustang. Like any Mustang.

I just never fell in love with it.

So, I bought a Porsche 991 Turbo S. I've put a couple of hundred miles on it and it is a real monster. And the quality is off the scale.

If you see a silver Turbo S wave, it's me.

Very nice. Went and took a look at a 911 Turbo S...(On the website) it is a beautiful car. To rich for my blood, but great choice.

Congratulations.

Congrats on the turbo S, it's a monster. Different $$ league tough. As for now nothing in the gt350 $$$ category gets me interested.

I went from a full bolt on c63 to a gt350 because I found it too civilized from the interior. The C63 is very easy and fun to drive fast, but I found it too civilized for daily driving around town. The GT350 is loud and fun to drive at all speed. The 6 speed manual doesn't hurt. :-)

Congrats on the P car. Post up some pics!

I've been thinking of swapping my current daily driver for a Turbo S.

I have been looking a a 2004 996 GT3 myself. I do track a lot so I don't think I will feel the same about the 996 GT3. Enjoy your new car!!!! Here she is!

GT3 is a very light car, 3,000lbs, I think. That’s a very nice one, I think I’d get it!

This on is 3045 i believe. Yeah! I'm on the fence.

Beautiful car and color. When I bought my Cayman GTS I got black in deference to my wife. I think she's Henry Ford reincarnated, all she likes is black cars. I'm done with Black. I love silver, shows off the lines really well.

Great looking car - enjoy. But keep a wary eye out for everyone else. Not completely sure why but every silver or light grey car we have owned has been an active target for inattentive drivers running into us - rear end, front end and my grey 08 GT was taken out and totaled by someone coming the other direction who left turned and tried to drive their SUV right over the top of the drivers door. I think the color blends too well with worn asphalt and concrete paving and doesn't grab attention when they are driving inattentively. But I agree, silver is beautiful and hard to resist.

Porsche is a nice choice. GT3 is a closer feel to the GT350

I'm thinking of trading in mine. How much did you get in trade in?

$48k, but they came off $8k on the Porsche, and I saved $3,300 on taxes.
