You are going to scrape like that at some point with or without. Scrapes like that hurt nothing and are barely noticeable on the black lip.

Great vid. Car looks great.

way too many cars around. This car really needs open space.

Agreed. I've done that so many times in my Z. I would not want to do that in my far more valuable GT3.

Nice find.

I guess for all we know, that car DID have the lift. Impossible to tell I think.

That's just a dumb angle to come out of that driveway. Anyone who has owned a low car would have cut across it lift or no lift IMO...

Having a gt3 in Brazil, is literally.. INSANE. That country has speed bumps which would take out a range rover withou any warning, potholes to swallow small cars entirely, and absurd driveway entries. One interesting point.. Where the Lamborghini dealership is in São Paolo, you can't actually drive a car out of the dealership because the roads are so bad.

Having a gt3 there is madness, not even taking the car-jacking situation into account.

Hopefully, there are some nice roads on the outskirts of town where the car can be enjoyed. I've never been to Sao Paulo, but I've been to Rio several times. Always thought it would be pointless to own any sports car there, but on my last visit I did a two-hour drive south of the city (to Cabo Frio), There were some very nice roads outside the city where you use could as much of a GT3's capability as good judgment would allow, which for me would be about 6/10ths on any remote, low-traffic, not-heavily-patrolled public road. The track is the only place I'd be willing to really exploit any car with the performance envelope of this thing.

exactly. most scrapes will be of this nature. i have scraped once since i posted my pics(exact same situation as this video) and there is nothing visable on the front of the lip, just some minor abrasion on the bottom. no big deal. speed bumps are a non issue, just have to go very slow over them.

Keeping spare front chin lips is always necessary. I even have a couple extras for the 991 Carrera.

Question. No rear tow hook on this yellow car behind where the plate would be. ?

Perhaps drivers in Brazil never go off the track to do powdered doughnuts?
