Default Anybody seen the yellow Porsche GT3 in Puyallup????

I have seen a yellow GT3 rolling around the South hill area and once heading west on the 512. It has a huge rear wing (ricer style) and ground effects. It also has a rear x bar in it.

Anyway, I wanted to run him, but couldn't due to traffic. What do they have stock and does anyone know anything about this car particullarly?

you will destroy him, he only has 260whp. When i set up a dyno day he joined he's a cool guy and does road racing mostly. So if you want to run him, run him on the track heres some pics

That's the car. Man it looks nice! However, I'm not a fan of the huge ricer style wing.

But seriously........dude are you shitting me????? 260 to the wheels?

You can't be serious............ Your pulling my leg arent you?

I thought they had like 380hp? I'm totally blown away.

Can anyone else chime in and call BS or validate this. I'm completely floored!

Actually its funny that you mention it, I saw him on the 512 and we gave eachother thumbs up. He was cool............

I'd love to talk to him about his car though. So its not a GT3, what is it then?

Damn..........that's very impressive for a 1.8L motor! Force inducted or not!

Very nice.............

Well, the porsche looks nice and it really threw me off when i saw it. From the sound of it, I need to be worried about GTI's not GT3's.

My wife is a huge VW fanatic. She currently has a 2000 Jetta with rims (just a 2.0), but she had a 1969 bug which she fully restored from the ground up. She sold it and now she wants an R32. She cracks me up........ The R32 is a nice car though.

Thats what I thought...........

I'd be a little leary of a real GT3 if I saw one. I wonder if I can take one?

I actually saw that guy in the Porsche up by the Best Buy when I was dropping my brother off at work. The gigantic spoiler definitely catches your eye. I thought it was awesome and tried to find him to talk to him after I dropped my bro off but had no luck. Glad to hear there are some fellow Puyallup people on the site though

Hey QuickGTi18t, that's a very impressive car you have there. My friend has a 20th GTI and it's stock except for "Revo stage 1" tuning or something.. He claims that just that will make his car do 13s, and he sucks at driving to boot. Do you know anything about those tunes?

if he just has a chip he wont come close to 13's. Unless he strips his car and gets slicks he might... I remeber when i had stock turbo my best time was 13.2@104 but i basically had 1 seat and stripped interiors with all bolt ones.. Im betting his car is a high 14 sec car if i can launch it good.
