YW
Everything about this car is lightweight.
Only 15 body screws to remove the bumper and check the air filters

Broken in properly and getting amazing mileage!
22mpg, on the freeway yielding 450-500 mile range per tankful. I only stopped for gas 4 times from Atlanta, GA to Phoenix, AZ

I love this car for Touring USA, it does it so well!

Intersting. Just broke 2000 miles on my new 3RS coming back from the Apex Motor Club track this morning. Not bad for 2 months. I'm averaging 12 mpg on my 3RS. Something must be wrong.....

Shaming me on a power run of no restraint. Those two caddies passed me at 100+, somehow the black one ended up behind me.
Did I mention how fun it was to cross Texas!


MORE TRACWRAP SHAME:
20+ miles West of the Texas border in New Mexico there is a mandatory Immigration checkpoint. As we rolled up the broad smile of Federal Agent turns to a scowl. At this point the TracWrap has completed almost 2000 miles in 5 rainstorms and 3 dust storms, extra legal speeds had pulled it back and it is filthy dirty.
I anticipate his gaze at he car and speak first "It is a new car!"

He responds "Did you forget to take the plastic off?"

I smile and he waves us on.
Ouch!

Wild guess.. First sentence of OP:
European Delivery was not in the cards, I was envious of all the ED posts here


I assume a 992 GT3 might be in the works?
