Can't tell from this. The car pulls huge Gs through the banked carousel, compressing the suspension. If I was them I'd want to get some baseline laps before making any changes...

True to it's hard-as-****-to capture-properly nature, I think this actually IS Miami, not Mexico.

I haven't dug into the IG account, but the thread this image originally showed up on shows some different angles, and you can see the green in them. Also, as a freshly received from the factory car, I would hope that the guys would know how to read a spec sheet.

I think it's going to look better on the GT3 than a lot of people want to give it credit for.

Under max compression at the carrousel all cars look lower... until they get spit out then they look raised

I think a lot of us think this as well. I think many are going to order the PDLS Xenon since its more "black" than standard, but I am betting they will be disappointed in comparison to the black LED option.

The one thing about the Black LEDs---when the car is started, the outer LED ring ruins the blackout look. The bright ring inside the black ring breaks up the dark of it all. The 4 dots of the PDLS don't do this to my eyes. I plan on going PDLS, then adding a vinyl black ring around it if the dark grey looks bad

You raise an interesting point. Isn't the outer LED ring on at all times if the car is on since they are the DRL? Therefore, the blackout look really would only appear black when the car is turned off and not driving.

I've not seen anything mentioned about the running in procedure for the gen2. Is this as long as it was in the RS, which was real torture?
