New GP Owner - Atlanta, GA

Just wanted to introduce myself to forum. I'm heading to Dallas next weekend to pick her up - number 1894. Wahooo!!

In the past, I've owned an EVO or two and had some fun club racing and doing Time Trials with SCCA. Not sure if the GP will see the track, but it should be great fun on the street and mountains around Atlanta.

Hello to everyone!

It is tempting! I'm committed to running the Spec-V this year - but we'll see

I thought for a second you were the new owner of my old car (#344), as I was told it went to GA last week. However, congratulations nonetheless and do enjoy!

Hello to everyone! Just curious - why the big variation in GP numbers found in the US. I assume the 415 allotment was shipped over in separate batches?

All the GP roof numbers around the world were allocated semi-randomly so that every country got a spread from 1 to 2000.
A few specials occurred - certain numbers preferred or avoided by certain countries, but generally it's a spread.

You can see the complete list of USA roof numbers here:
