Not to hijack but rather than starting my own thread - for those who store their cars for a few months over the winter - what tire pressure do you use? GT3 on Sport Cup 2...Pump them up to 50 psi? It will be stored from November through April. Bought a 4 post lift getting delivered in October and need my garage door lifted in the meantime, so I will have it in my garage this winter and planning on firing it up every 3-4 weeks for some engine heat cycles and have a trickle charger, and maybe pull it out into driveway and back in so they don't flat spot...also any other tips? I see people using marine grade Stabil in lieu of "regular red" Stabil and I have both...appreciate any tips...once everything installed will get some pics posted to keep this relevant! Thanks.

Porsche trickle charger, 50 PSi and Stabil in the fuel. Did not start it at all. Heard it was bad to start and just let run for a bit and turn off again.

I didn’t worry about tire pressure last winter, but I did buy some flat stoppers and parked the car on them. I didn’t use any fuel stabilizer either and it was fine.

I did read it’s not good to periodically start the car. If you’re going to start it you should actually drive to for at least 20min to get it fully warmed up.

Other than that, just trickle charger on the battery.

Thanks guys, thats all I was looking for. Will do the 50 PSI because why not. Gas will be in it for a solid 5 months before any drives likely unless there is a mild stretch and all cinders are sufficiently off the roads for a romp here and there so maybe will 1/2 dose it with Stabil marine. Been reading a lot about not running it at all and perhaps this is older-engine lore that doesn't apply to today's cars...also read that maybe it causes moisture buildup with periodic engine heat cycles (H2O production from combustion?)...but have heard more people on here say don't start it up at all than have said to periodically run it so will play it by ear - If I'm able to drive based on weather and New England road conditions then it will run and get all the fluids going and let the AC run a bit as well. Best part is with the incoming lift it will not be stored at the facility I usually use in winter where there is no access and I can periodically sit in the garage, drink a beer and look at her! Heck, wax it weekly!

In case it wasn't obvious, fill the tank before you store it away. Temperature fluctuations will cause condensation. If your tank is full, then you won't get a nice water/gas mixture.
