Does your GT3 smoke everytine you start it?
I've had several GT3s in the past (996 and 997) and all would occasionally bellow white smoke on start up. But my new 992 GT3, about 10 days old, smokes damned near every time I start it. I can only recall one time when it didn't smoke.
Before I call the dealer and start down that path, I'm curious, had anyone else have this issue?
PS - The oil level is within the normal range.

Moe having had a number of GT3s in his shop was the one to ask. I asked, he said they all smoke.
It's normal.

Yes, it's normal spoke to head tech last week when I was in for another issues. He said oil settles in the cylinder and just burns off. Typical when the car sits, and it will go away over time so no issues.

Picked mine up on a rainy day. 10 minutes into drive home I stopped at a light and white smoke started literally pouring from the front--with some kind of non-gas or oil smell. I freaked!! Drove back to the dealer-several explanations. Hasn't done it since

Every 911 I have owned did it sometime.
