There are many front end pictures of a white GT3. Can anyone put two pictures side by side one with LED and another with regular lights? My computer skills are limited and I think it would be informative to see the two compared side by side. From an appearance standpoint do LED's enhance the look of the car?

so what tires are people opting for?
which is better for max grip for DD and 4-5 DE events per year.
not worried about tire lifespan.

As always I suspect you will receive what the factory decides to give you. To the best of my knowledge you cannot choose the tyre type and have never been able to. Maybe the PCNA (distributor) will choose for you...

Gotta respect the guy. Surrounded by automatics and he goes for the "old school" manual. Surprised he hasn't been branded a luddite by the PDK fanboy club.

There are several members of the development team in that picture. They take turns in the various cars during testing so AP isn't "going" for anything. He is 100% sold on the new car and you are absolutely right, you gotta respect the guy....
