I ordered it to be very different than my other GT3, and I am happy how it turned out.
Absolutely this can be used as a daily driver which is what I intend to do. The adaptive sports seats with all the possible adjustments make the car so much more comfortable in terms of ride and also ingress/egress. The full leather interior makes it feel more luxurious colored to the one with Alcantara which feels sporty but less civil. Th interior even feels quieter, but that could be because this car doesn't have a center muffler-delete pipe yet.
My friend has a 16M and asked me how it feels. I told him its like Porsche's F12.
[QUOTE=sampelligrino;14892310]So you will keep both .2 GT3s? /QUOTE]
That is my question as well. How does it compare/drive compared to your winged version ? Curious if you are keeping both. Congrats and enjoy with good health, both are beautiful

Thanks for all the kind words. So blessed to have both of them.
I am planning on keeping both, and probably for a long time. The reason is because I do believe this is the last chance anyone can buy a NA GT3 new, let alone a manual one, and if my belief turns out to be correct, this will also be the highest evolution of the NA flat 6 engine mated to a manual transmission ever. There may be higher performing GT3’s in the future, but 500 hp NA power mated to a manual transmisssion with RWS and a 9k redline is going to be hard to beat, if not impossible to beat anytime in the future for me. There are cars way faster than a 1973 2.7 RS, but that doesn’t mean the 2.7 is not way more special. I can only drive a car so fast on the street, so the NA response, sound and manual transmission for me outweighs any performance advantage the future may bring over these two cars that are already doing 0 to 60 in 3.8 seconds or quicker in manual.
As far as mods, I am going to do the same stuff. Gonna get a Braille lithium battery. Gonna get a center muffler delete pipe, but I will try to get a different brand than Sharkwerks and see if there is any difference. Maybe BBS F1-R wheels.
The non-touring car definitely gives me more of a sense of occasion, having all the Alcantara and LWB. The horrendous ingress/egress and the discomfort of the seats (rides stiffer because of much less padding and pretty much no adjustments) really adds to that sense, ironically. They also look awesome. However, the touring wins when it comes to actually using the car to go to places and run errands, and that is what I intend to do with the Touring.
These PCCB squeal a lot more. I don't think my other one squeals at all. Maybe because this is new?
I can hear the flywheel noise when I let off the gas on low speed driving. Never heard it on the other one. Almost makes me think this is a single mass flywheel.
Right now, this car is noticeably slower because it is heavier due to lack of the other mods, and also because it is running 91 octane. Can't wait to finish part of it so I can put in some 101.

Your winged .2 is MT as well re: flywheel noise? Interesting you say the touring feels slower, maybe it's not the gas but just the wing
