FYI WC, second thing out of my mouth after Whoohoo when I got the its here call yesterday was to tell them to go on a stripe hunt. Will let y'all know what they found Monday.

FASTRKMAN

FYI after much inspection no stripes on mine to report maybe just a batch issue??

4MIDABLE

Interesting...curious to see what mine looks like.

Westcoast

Could be a batch, please add build date if possible.

FASTRKMAN

March 18. You should be good 4MIDABLE don't rent out the head space.

Or it could just mean that the stripes don’t appear until some driving is done and it goes through a few heat cycles. But I hope you experience the former and for your sake and many others that this is a batch related issue.

Got my car on 19JUN at the PEC. It was build a day before @FASTRKMAN who doesn’t have the stripes. I pointed it out to the PEC and they have documented it and forwarded the info to their team and PAG. They have told me they will be in touch with anything they find and updates I can share here. Stay tuned.

I also pointed it out to my detailer @Detailed Designs and JC will look into it too over the next two weeks. I’ll share anything we all find.

Westcoast

Interesting, then any car built past March 17th in Osnabruck might be fine, be good to know dates for Zuffenhausen as well.

FASTRKMAN

Thx for sharing blackholescion weird stuff?? I assume 6cylinder, RyuBraska, Titan475 are stripe free as they had not reported any. Maybe they can pipe in on build dates. Glad to hear you got your ride how were the first few miles?

Actually I was mistaken. I thought it was a day before but production was 19MAR2020. https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0AC2A86LK289258/.

I have only driven it 500 yards into a trailer. . I was the first GT4 delivery at PEC. PEC got a GT4 in the night before I was scheduled to take delivery so I was the first customer to drive theirs. It was a blast! I need to spend more money on being a better driver.This is my first non front engine car so it took a little while to get used to it. Once I did, the reviewers were right. it's a complete extension of your body. Extremely rewarding. I spent extra time on the PEC kick plate and even without traction control on, it was easy to hold the slide and not lose control of the car (on cup 2's in the wet) just because the chassis told me so much. This is a car that I will never sell.

Did the PEC GT4 have any miles? Do they immediately run to redline? Just wondering on break in. Congrats on the new car!

Archimedes

No and yes. PEC takes cars straight from the trailer to the track.

Thanks @pettelli !! The PEC car had 50 miles on the clock. The instructors drove it for a few laps before I got to drive it. Immediately red lined (pre warmed up). It sounds fantastic. Downshifts with auto blip still blipped and clearly. I think the only place you don't hear stuff is out of the exhaust where it's definitely muted.

If you want to PM me about their recommendation for break in, feel free. I don't want to get anyone in trouble so I'm not publicly posting.

My car had 12 miles at delivery.

My car was completed on March 19th as well (still in transit). If it was a bad batch maybe we're still seeing some bad radiators
trickling out toward this time frame. Looks like its a crap shoot Possibly cars built after the lockdown are in the clear. We'll
have to get more info back from owners.

Archimedes

You already did. 😉

Warm up the oil and then drive the snot out of it.
