chizi- Thanks. The manual says 29 front and 33 on rears on cold tires so I am only running 3 psi higher on the fronts and the rear- I am sure that is fine

Update on smoke for me--no instances this week at all. Will see if this remains consistent or not.

Regardless, bottom line is I'm not concerned at all.

^No need for concern. All my other Porsches smoked and some times it would not happen for a month and then you would get it at one start up. My GT3 has smoked twice so far and no big deal.

Noticed a weird clear tube sticking out behind front right wheel. It's soft, like silicone tubing. Has anyone seen this on their car?! Advice?

Edit: my IOS app is not allowing me to post the pic. Will try again later.

Most likely a water drain tube.

Is that normal? Extends downward, exactly perpendicular to car bottom for about 1-1.25".

Can you post a pic? Just load Rennlist.com on your Iphone in Safari. Scroll to the bottom and select " View full site ". After click " Quick Reply " on this thread and then " Go Advanced ". Then " Manage attachments ". Once you've selected the pic you need select " Upload " bottom right. Then " Post ". DONE!

Anyway,most likely water drain tube. Picks up the water from the windshield cowl. I was also thinking battery vent,but I don't think those extend as far.

Thanks, Nick.

Unless, someone advises otherwise, my plan is to just ask about it when my mesh inserts finally arrive. Car's been great, on second tank of gas and loving it.
