Added a GTR

Been going back and forth between a 991 GT3RS, 430 Scuderia, and a 2020 GTR... I pulled the trigger on a mango iridium silver with CC brakes. I’ll track at most 3-4 times this year and wanted a reliable daily with some creature comforts and warranty. We’ll see if I made the right choice. For now she’s tucked away until get some paint protection. Let’s see how well she fits into the current fleet.

Congratulations! That's a nice combo.

If you are going to track the GT R, highly recommend get a set of good brake duct even you are on CCB, it will greatly help on reducing the brake fade and extending the pads/rotors life.

2013 F12
Congrats!! That looks like an F12 tucked away in the corner of your stable? I've been lusting for a GTR for some time (but too frugal to buy new), test drove a lightly used Pro and then started looking at F12s thinking I don't need a track toy - just want a hot coupe to tool around in and the F12s are pretty much at the bottom of the depreciation curve. I'd definitely be interested in your thoughts re: pros & cons as you get acquainted with the GTR vs. the other toys in your garage.

Yea, let's hear more about the F12.

edit: Saw your post on FChat. Looks like you just bought the F12 this month also.

Same here on F12...
