I do agree that you should just enjoy the attention (quietly) though!! I too am amazed how fantastic this car becomes after every day of ownership.
Southern CA.

Plenty of GT3s (relatively speaking) as well as other exotics like Ferraris, Lambos, McLarens, etc.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't attract attention like flies on fecal matter.

Because even an ugly supermodel is still pretty damn sexy.

Agree. A couple of w/e's ago I sold my Tundra so I drove it and the wife followed in the Gt3. I gave her instructions to do a few "fly-bys" as we went down the free way and I was really impressed how good it does look underway - solid, composed and aggressive. It also sounded awesome as she dropped a couple of cogs and let it go. It made me very happy, content and I appreciated the car even more. Everyone should see their car underway from an exterior pov.

I have a Panigale 1199S. It gets used every w/e but not on track as I have a fully tracked out GSXR-750 and a BMW S1000R for commute work. I am feeling a strong draw to track the Pani though but feel it will be the end for the GSXR if I do!! If I could get the CFO's approval I'd chop the 1199 for the 1299 tomorrow

Lol
Mines an 02 Monster S4, used and signed by Michael Schumacher while he and Rubens were here after his 02 championship, doubt I'll ever sell it...
Still hauls the mail!
Love the Ducs, pure art!

That sure sounds like a keeper. Schumacher, as I'm sure you know, is / was a very accomplished bike rider and racer which adds to the sentimental and $ value I'd imagine.
