I havent driven mine a single mile in the last 30 days but it has 2030 miles on the clock now. One Isle of Mann based guy on Piston-heads inspired by my winder Europe trip did 3000 miles in Europe and now has 4000 miles on his. Its the highest I know of. Im guessing Sam and some of the other USA owners will be heading past 1500 miles soon and over take me. My car is now on a boat for the next 6 weeks...

I'm at 2,020. Whoohoo, it's freaking amazing!!! I'm not a race car driver or the best one to ask about the car. It handles and grabs the road amazingly. Braking is insanely good and it sounds sooooo good over 4200rpm!!! I will try to figure out how to post video.

Is anyone else annoyed the car doesn't read below 9 mpg at the track? I had the same issue with the C4S and the TTS but was almost certain the GT3 will give actual track mileage but no. Very difficult to assess correctly because I also noticed the gas gauge does not drop below full for many many miles after a refuel and for the lower half of the tank, the needle drops faster. My point is, I'm suspicious half tank mark is actually less than half tank. Anyone else notice this?

Leilani, Very nice picture. I really like the clear tail light on your white car. I might end up getting a spare tail light in clear and change it once every yr or so to give it a diff look. Nice job on pilling the miles

Thanks silverrules. We basically took 120-160 mile drives a day to get it there. We were anxious.
Good idea on the spare lights...I was planning on doing the same but reverse....getting spare regular tail lights to change it up.

Be patient...yours will be here before you know it.

There is always the tried and true method of fill the tank, run your session, refill, and compute the mpg based on delta miles travelled. Doesn't give you instant measurement but average for a session.
