I was leaning that way- Agree.

Thoughts??
My JBM car arrived this week. Going 50%, gives it that smokey look while cutting down the heat.

Go with 50% tint since your car is black and the window trim is black it will be just perfect. Plus darker makes night vision a little more difficult. I have switched to 50% on the cars I get tinted.

sad to hear about the clutch. I was hoping for more of a 997.2 gt3 feeling. I'm not a huge fan of light clutches either.

I was thinking 50% on my incoming GR GT3 - want a bit of heat protection and privacy, but not over the top. I think on black, it will look great with 50%.

My freakin Lexus was stolen from my driveway last night(which I learned this AM). To think that my Black Beauty could of been stolen but that might of been a little difficult. I have people coming over today for added security. My Wife thought my Porsche was stolen when I yelled up the stairs to her that my car was stolen. And I live in a nice neighborhood.

Nothing is safe these days

Going to take some time getting use to.

Also - the Rev-matching must have a different software program than the GT4. It is a little weird and I can not really explain. It is holding the revs upon gear change. Never felt that in my GT4. Going to take some time getting used too

Gotcha, that's interesting about the rev match, I wonder if that was changed due to the motorsport derived engine?

Can you comment on how loud the car is c/w the .1, on the interior?

I do not think that much louder on the inside with the windows closed. When the windows are open it is certainly louder. The exhaust has a different sound/tone also.

If some one blindfolded you no doubt you would be able to tell immediately different exhaust/cars

I wonder if the clutch is also light on the R. I’ll have to go bag and search the forums.

That sucks jimmy about the car..but it’s always fun shopping for a new car!

Sorry about the stolen Lexus. Change your garage door security code ASAP.

That blows on the Lexus. Sorry for the hassle. Take a spin in the GT3 to ease the worries!
