PECLA delivery you don't drive your car on the course. I think the best place to break in a car is on the track. Actually its way safer then running in the brakes and drivetrain on a public road.

Thats great! PM me and we can share possible itineraries. I'm arranging a private track day at Monza now.

I'd be taking it relatively easy as to break her in gradually. It's 1,129 miles from PECLA to Tacoma so I could speed up the break in process to a week or so. Although I do look forward to driving one of Porsche's cars (hopefully a GT4) on the track to learn the limits. We'll see.

I should prolly start a separate thread about this, but can you spec these cars without Cup 2 tires? I've driven on some sketchy roads in Europe (particularly in Greece) and don't know if I would want to pick up a car with racing tires on it and drive it around Europe.

They will fit free loaner snow wheels and tires for you in Winter months. Otherwise, you’re on your own if you want to make a change.

Car has to be retuned in the exact condition it was delivered.

I drove 6,000 km across 5 countries in varying weather in September and October with GT4 on OEM Dunlop Maxx Race and they were great. Plenty of track time too.

I wouldn't worry about. I would be more worried about lack of nose lift. some of the parking garages I used in italy in particular would be impossible with the gt4!

OK. Personally if I were to order a car, I would prefer to just have Michelin P4S tires instead of Cup 2's from the get-go.

yeah that would be a great choice for putting a lot of miles on them and heavy rain. i use ps4s for street. save the gummies for track.
