Sounds like ED is going to have to be another day.
Congrats on finishing. What date did you start production?

Mine with the same spec (from what I can see) is expected at the dealer this Friday. Not sure how Porsche selects tires for each car, but given your experience and the proximate timing, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dunlops on mine, too. I had Dunlops on my 981 GT4 eight years ago. I am guessing tire selection is random but who knows.

Enjoy your new ride! First one to breakeven (2k) miles wins!

That's funny. I'll never breakeven!

But I am hoping to break it in!

Hey everyone! I didn't know where to post this question but I thought here with actual purchasers makes sense. I'm currently in a 2018 GT3 manual. I test drove a 4RS yesterday and absolutely loved it! I've been doing some research on pricing and I've seen everything from MSRP to 20K over. I'd like to know what real life pricing is. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I've managed 300 miles Since Saturday. But I'm going to put it on pause until I get PPF etc installed on Tuesday. Car is so addictive. I just keep reaching for the keys.

I guess I really lucked out with Cup 2s!

Michelin better than { insert mag manufacture }



Pothole damage killed the mag , but NOT the tire.
Was able to reuse it !

That's not magnesium wheel. That's forged aluminum

That's painful to see. Sorry for the bad luck. Looks more like a meteorite crater than pothole. Usually "pot holes" that big you can file a claim with the city. I would look into it.

There's been a lot of conversations about mags vs forged wheels and if the cost is worth it,.vs the risk of them being easier to damage, etc. Was clarifying those pictured are not magnesium.....

Ha! I learned many years ago--the hard way--that New York City and likely others, too, are not liable for such damage unless they were notified at least 15 days BEFORE the incident.

Mag as in wheel. Not magnesium.
