I know what you mean.

I use my GT3 as a daily and driving around Mid-Wilshire, WeHo, and DTLA makes you feel like you're trying to pacify a caged animal. In heat. :evilgrin:

I drove my white GT3 last Friday. I work next door to the JC. I use mine most of the time and the times I didn't I was ok but careful.

I used to drive my GT-R around, but I got a lot of attention from the people you don't want attention from. I'm down for a meet, but I'll bring my AMG in as that's my DD, or I'll walk from my office, lol.

That's what I hate about my GTR it attracts too much attention usually from youngsters that want to race you on every corner.

i take the cayenne when i go to to dtla. rs attracts too much attention for me. even in stealth silver. i am seeing a decent amount tooling around now though.

OK, maybe its because of my naturally demented nature, but I dig driving around even the more congested parts of LA in my GT3. Look at it like this. Who is having more fun? The guy in the lane to my right, sitting in his plush luxury car sending texts that only he thinks are important? Or maybe the woman in the lane to my left, who is doing her lashes at every light? Or me----trying to talk my caged wild beast down from the ledge at every light and every turn? Like I said, maybe it's just my demented nature... or perhaps I should have been an animal trainer!:)

DCT also helps ...you can just throw it in automatic ;)

It's like a work-out sitting in traffic with the 996

oh you're definitely having more fun.
Ok, i'll give you this: driving down main near 4th where several of my fav restaurants are and revving it to 8k with my near-open exhaust LOL. It may be silver but that noise turns heads

I set-off car alarms when I do that.

Either parked cars on the street or in garages.
