I had been thinking of getting a GP3 (or another Mustang) but I got a Sierra pickup instead. Are you a member of the Nutmeg Mini's on Facebook?

Welcome to the insane world of the GP3. I've already done a ton of mods to my GP3 and have a few planned during this winter season.

If you're not familiar with the GP3 then I will advise you to keep it off the road until April. This is when things start to warm up enough to almost safely operate it on the road with the factory tires. That said, the tires are very hard at temperatures below 60 degrees. Braking and handling are greatly affected by this to the point of it becoming unsafe to drive.

If you're on FB get connected with the MINIs of Boston page. They do a ton of events through the year, especially during the summer month.

There is another GP3 in Boston and one on the west side of CT. I reside in Mystic, CT. See you in the spring.

I was able to test ride a GP3, (asking 44.9k with 18k miles) pretty insane, fast, quick steering, harsh ride tho "harsher than expected". Noticed that prices went up recently. 45k-ish with miles (of course). Saw some with low miles but not close to me. There were two with less than 100mi for 55k. Snooze = lose, I guess. Now they're getting a premium.
