Enclosed trailer, how do you strap down your GT3
I've ordered a new Intech Trailer. Just planning on ordering straps etc. With the low clearance on the GT3, what mounting points and method do you use to strap down the car? Thanks!

I use loop straps through my wheels. Strap through the wheels, loose end through the loop, cinch and center and then feed into the ratchet. Allows the car to move a bit on the suspension.
Car in neutral (manual). E brake on.

I used to use those tire straps - a real pain in the a$$ and getting them around tight clearance is brutal. The easiest way by far is to order the rennline tie down hooks (or make them if you're handy). http://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Tie...oductinfo/E04/
Two bolt in the front jack points and rears go in bolts just in front of rear exhaust essentially. Get some heavy duty racheting straps and you're good to go. Takes 5 minutes to tie down and car doesn't move around in trailer. Also you only need 4 hooks which most trailers come set up with.

What kind of trailer, open/enclosed, aluminum/steel, how long? Reason I ask is because of the weight of the trailer. If all aluminum I see guys pulling them with 1/2 ton trucks. If you're going with a decent size(24' or up) steel enclosed I would get a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton single rear wheel truck to use, gas or diesel is just preference, they both will pull just fine but the diesel will pull better.
