Well. to my knowledge there is no ED after October...they would need to change tires at that stage. SO the window is very narrow. Definitely a bummer.
I have done it a number of times, best to line it up with the 24 hour race at the Ring and hand about for a few days after, get some track time and then over to Spa.....

But the space behind the seats on a gt3 or gt2 RS is NOT totally useless. The seat slides forward far enough that you can slide soft luggage back there. And if you are lithe & supple, you might be able to get back there to clean the inside of your rear window too!

Won't be any problems for me to get into the back and clean the windows. Been working out, now down to racing weight, 5'-6" and 135lbs. Sorry, no beer for me these days.

Your input would be appreciated
So i went back to the show again today..

Nothing on PTS, and nothing about the delay rumour as expected..

I took clear pictures of the front headlights + LEDs. I think black headlights look really good and aggressive on the car..






P.S: The car color in the last 2 pictures reflect exactly how it is in real..First 2 pics not so much..

Fantastic, thanks for all the pics and color clarification. Did they say anything about when can we see the UV?

That GT4 is Guards Red from the press release drives last week. EVO did some sort of "artistic" color grading of the video that really messed with the colors of this one!

I agree that it is a bit of "brick" in it. The color sometimes has a touch of brown in it. Not BROWN, just a little brownish in the red/orange. Probably the "brick"-component of the color. My subjective opinion of course.
I swear by my brother Luigi for me it looks like tomato soup from my fav italian restaurant

And I LOVE tomatoe soup

But still will get a white one - because it is fastest

After the 911 GT3 debut in Geneva in March 2013, AP introduced the car at the NY auto show a month later ... it is likely the GT3RS will be there this year as well. I know PCA is planning something special for the show April 4-12. I will attend.
