The painted trim looks absolutely fantastic.

Thanks! More pics to follow once all this rain around here stops. The pics I've posted so far are just what I could grab before the car went back into the garage...

Washing blue cars in the rain in Temecula California. Ignore the one that is not a shark blue 2024 GT3 with neodyme gold wheels.

kind of like most Porsche sports cars that are designed to look like race cars but really are used to impress our friends and to make us look cool as if we really owned a RACE car. How many GT3's are actually raced -- and actually need bucket seats for rides with the wife to dinner?

Yep-- the wives hate it when you are late! How many cars did you beat across the finish line? Even driving around, a track alone -- is not really racing, is it? Lots of fun- but not like a Porsche cup car race with driver's weaving around and passing other cars as they speed around a track. the point is the Cyber truck and Porsche sports cars are both primarily great to look at and to own and to drive but shadows of other vehicles that are real trucks and real performance sports cars. I have a Rolex diver's watch that will go down to over 13,000 feet -- Rolex sells a lot of them for tens of thousands of dollars - but I would bet not one has been sent for repair because it was taken too deep on a dive by their owner.

I dont really understand your post...are you unhappy that @BabyNSX has decided to make his car look more racecar? I cant tell if your are trying to make a joke or if you are just jealous.

LOL... when you said "...the point is the Cyber truck and Porsche sports cars are both primarily great to look at..." you totally lost the plot and should walk away slowly and close the door on your way out... Please feel free to share pictures of your "cup car" swapping paint with the pack and post your championship standings in whatever make believe series you compete in. BTW... I've shared track time with GT4RS, GT3 and other "real performance sports cars" and received point byes by many... I've got about 30,000 track miles under my belt over the past 20 years...

Since this is a picture thread here is another:

Kind a of a dbag tangent in a thread whose primary purpose is pictures of cars in a specific color.

By any meaningful measure, the GT Porsches are "real performance sports cars" relative to their price points. They also don't break or overheat when used on track like other "real performance sports cars".
