Going back to my boxster spyder roots. I've always liked the stripe.
Headed to thill next week in totally factory bone stock form.
The side stripes look great! Keep us posted after Thill. You’ve milked the .1 on that track. Would love to hear your opinion on this new car vs the .1, and the times you post.
Are you getting different track wheels for your new GT3 Joe? 19's? I can't believe you will run those lovely pin striped ones on track!
Drove mine for the first time on Marin run this am... still not winding out the engine, but getting a feel for the car. To me the clutch is still dsiconcertingly light and long throw... otherwise car is da bomb... so much midrange grunt, such great suspension tuning -- excellent sense of nimbleness but with awesome grip... quite a car...

Nope! Believe it! LOL!
Actually, the stock wheels I've run have worked out really well and you really can't notice any damage on them despite the usage.
Clutch is very light, but I'm ok with that. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I get back into a GT car after racing spec miata all of this year so far. I'll spend this month seeing what I can do with the GT3 at our 3 tracks. After that, it's back to racing. They sure do know how to keep you coming back. I'm currently in first for the seasonal championship in ITA, and in a respectable position in SMT. Do I go for it all, or just take a step back and stop burning money... ? LOL

Quick question - is that stripe the one on Suncoast - the GT3 motorsport one?
Quick observation - the clutch is extremely light. First thing I noticed driving it off the dealer's lot. Been driving the GT3 and Spyder back to back a bit - and surprisingly it's lighter than the Spyder. More miles on the Spyder so won't conclude I like it's gearbox better yet (but so far I do) - are they the same? Not sure what to think about it yet. Only issue I'm having with the GT3 is actually into 4th - have struggled a couple of times. You can definitely feel the mechanics of the GT3 more with your hand when in gear (particularly in 4th for me) than the Spyder too. Okay - not so quick observation.

Love both of your cars!
Worh the light clutch and high engagement, I’m having a hard time driving the GT3 smoothly compared to the GT4!
