I like how you drive over grass.

Always good to see another GT3 here in San Diego. What options did you get? Any photos of interior? I bought my GT3RS from Rancho Mirage and then drove it on that fun road over the mountains. Those cars were made for those roads. The perfect place to break in a GT3RS or a GT3. enjoy

I'm in Santa Monica. I didn't get to chose the options as I was late to the GT3 party. I searched every dealer in CA back in November and Desert motors had pretty close to what I wanted and were willing to sell at MSRP (most wanted over sticker). This car has lift system, alcantara interior, 18 way seats, pccb brakes,yellow seat belts, etc. if I had my choice I would have gotten fewest options possible cause they don't resale but car doesn't have anything that I don't like or is a total waste. I Really love the Agate Gray with yellow calipers!

Bring it to the next get together, I don't recall seeing an Agate there last time.

Good looking car and it seems like advice on break in is all over the place, with many going out right away and driving their car hard and throughout the entire RPM range. Mainly varying RPM's is the most important for break in in most important, atleast from my understanding. I'm just under 2k on mine now and have gone up to 9K RPM's many times.

Yes, i spoke to the head mechanic at BH porsche and he says we can drive them up around 7k rpm for first 100-200 miles and then go for it. I'm trying to be more conservative but it is really hard! everyone in the know agrees that varying is pretty key!

I never know you have to do <4200rpm for 1500 miles. I am currently driving up to 6500-7000rpm still on its first tank of fuel and even went 8k once.
