I’ve got only 4,600 on my .2 GT3 manual, but look forward to continuing to drive it - you can’t solve all those rattle issues if it’s just in the garage. BTW, what kind of mileage are you guys getting on your tires? Just curious.

I replaced my Cup 2's after 14,000 miles, and they still had plenty of tread left. I also autox regularly, so was very impressed with their wear.

Love that...going for 200K!!! My Dad put 215K on his first Benz, a '65 190D.

As if we are supposed to believe those 372 miles were following proper break-in procedures... I put 1100 easy, by the book, under-5K-rpm miles on mine in the first three months so I could get it "ready to go..."

I (perhaps mistakenly) assume those ultra low-mileage cars have been driven like they were stolen the entire time.

not tourings, but most tourings lead an easier life then these RS, so bodes well.

Good to see some cars get bought and driven beyond the Instagram photo spot and back..
.1 RS 40,000 miles, one cooling pipe and a few sensors, otherwise felt like new.
.2 RS 20,000 miles, new gearbox due to leaking, but once replaced, zero issues.

About half the miles track.
I didn’t keep the all 997RS that long (18K miles, 5K miles, 8K miles) because they felt a bit more tired beating on them that much.
Always felt to me that the driveline and brakes were a bit hardened over the 997’s.

sold them all, would like to try something different, knowing it will end in tears

Will roll to 12K this month. What is the mileage handicap factor for Chicago drivers vs. ?Year round So. Cal?

Awesome! Our sub-zero temps and addiction to using only salt everywhere is what keeps mine in the garage. If we only could live like you guys in the Northwest!

Is there any interest for a group of Tourings to travel on a 3 day trip from Las Vegas to Monument Valley?

There are lots of scenic stops along the way of Zion, Valley of Fire, Bryce Canyon, North Rim Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend Overlook, Antelope Canyon, Route 66, and Forest Gump Highway.
This is one of America's most photogenic regions
and UTAH has good gasoline
