    Hello guys. Been around Fchat for decades but never an owner. I’ve had 6 911s 3 GT3s one turbo and one Lamborghini huracan technica. But when 296 prices got down to this range I had to act. So I traded my Huracan in on a 22 296 GTB. Life long goal. And thanks to Porsche for INSANE price increases to push me out of Stuggart and into Italy . My 18 GT3 was $155,000 and they wanted $275,000 for a 23 for not much change. Anyway it’s going to be a long weekend for my car to get here . Rosso Corsa carbon buckets etc

    Wow you don’t mess around do you? Great car! I actually got a Huracan Technica after Porsche wanted everything I owned for a 992 gt3. Liked that car. Kids LOVED it. But when the 296 prices dipped I couldn’t pass up 830 horsepower. My lambo was green verde mantis but my Ferrari is Rosso Corsa

    Congrats on the 296 GTB! It sounds like you've got an amazing car on the way, and I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. Enjoy the long weekend!
