Hey Dan...thanks for the photo compliment. it was a nice sky for that one. My GT3 still occasionally smokes, but it's becoming less intense/frequent. However, I haven't noticed that 4200 in 7th equals 100 
Mark...I noticed the nice snow pic for your avatar. The tires are, as expected, great in the snow/ice. The only limitation will be whether I'm willing to *plow* with the front splitter, so no driving when it's deep or will be deep yet. The wide tires make for a bit of skating at times, though.
Lane...I have to say that if I didn't order the CF, I likely would have purchased the MACarbon...that CF looks killer, and would have complimented my build. Love the steering wheel too.
Thanks. Had to show the GT3 off. Also, gotta love a woman who will go out in teens temp and help clear the driveway. Hearty Midwestern girl.

Now that's commitment to the RL community (from both your wife and you!). Most would be way too lazy to do that, and rather keep it tucked away in the garage.
The wheels really do add a nice sense of sophistication to the otherwise bold and aggressive GT3 silhouette. Well written initial reactions too.
Looks very close to the slate grey on my car. A color that I hope helps both of us avoid unwanted attention and speeding tickets.

Two days ago it was negative 12 degrees F out here. Snowing like crazy the past two weeks too. Needed a fix, so had to take the GT3 out this weekend. Here are a couple of cell phone shots.

I see that you have turbo s wheels on the gt3 .. did you use wheel spacers as the offset is different?

ROFL! This was started in 2014, and ipvr's last post was in 2018. Doubt he is still on this board to answer you.
BUT, car enthusiasm never dies, as you said. There is now a 4 season tire that fits the OEM GT3 wheels, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It is still billed as a Maximum Performance Summer tire, but it won't turn into stone and go brittle in freezing temps like the R compound tires. They are also still big and wide, so I wouldn't go too sporty in snow covered roads.
BTW, welcome to the board and congrats on your GT3.
