Depends if it might be shifted on fairly quickly at the right price - I don't think I could stop myself!
A GT3 in Silver sounds epic, enjoy.... Only the limited edition Ferraris like the Speciale appeal to me appreciably more than a GT3, and then only if I could afford to really use them, which is highly unlikely....
Enjoy!!!

I'd wait until 1st March, but then again I've always been a sucker for delayed gratification.
Really looking forward to reading your first impressions and perhaps arranging a mini meet!

Anytime,but it’s a 1800 mile run in period which is going to be incredibly infuriating . Still not got my pec day through yet ,looking forward to that. |

Looks a bit like a Le Mans refugee with those delivery protection strips.
Be thankful that February is a short month!

Very nice. Just book another weeks holiday in mid to late February to make the wait shorter.

If you're going to put a non-dating plate on it, why wait until 1 March ? I'd be pressing for delivery next Monday if it were mine !

Looks great, very technical. I like the Miami blue one in the background as well.

Did my pec day the other day.
A few random thoughts.
Engine is ridiculous,very exciting...but the noise is incredible but it's not musical in the way some engines are.
Launch control..the best system ever ,no buttons to press just floor the brake and throttle and then release the brake ,that's it.
Damping is magnificent just on another level to the 997 and 991gt3s I have driven .
Steering ,well if someone told you it was hydraulic you would believe them .I enjoyed the steering on the gt4 and gts and thought they were as good as electric steering gets but this is again another level of steering.
Car I drove was in saphire blue,brilliant on the gt4 but didnt work so well on the gt3 I thought,and so glad I didnt order buckets.These had the buckets and next day my back was killing.
Catching it all day long with no systems on when on the kickplate (recently resurfaced so very slippy) ,but I am useless at drifting.Catching the tail is no problem but keeping it going was impossible for me .
Instructor was great,he coaches pro racing drivers and was harris's partner at one of the 24 hours events he races in,I actually felt I learned something form him which is not always the case on pec days.

Franki gets a discount for having purchased a car, I do believe.
