Default How a GT3RS should be used

600kms - B and C grade roads, gravel and sand for 30kms - Car is just brilliant.

Any car can do well on A grade roads but try some "crappy" roads for the real test

How many of you have used your RS's in unusual ways?

I love seeing GT3's/RS's used spiritedly or on the track.... so much better than seeing them with roll bars, harness belts, aftermarket forged wheels, and tow hooks BUT never ever even seen on an HPDE track day let alone even an autocross event. Yeah in south FL... there's a number of this like this. You see them in car meets/shows or C&C events... all decked out like that but not used for its intended purpose.

I guess technically that's "unusual" for the RL crew or ROW but not for south FL...

I can't wait to hear how Mooty answers this.
Not that I would take it out in the back roads, but I certainly respect the ones who do. Well done.

My favorite thing to do is get lost in the blue ridge mountains. Sometimes an awesome road just turns into gravel all of a sudden... sometimes turn around sometimes just go slow through it. Full xpel wrap and not a mark on it.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I took the RS for it's first track day to Homestead on Saturday. Washed it up on Sunday and saw all the rubber marks on the rocker panels, front bumper, etc. Decided not to try to buff them out but leave them there. I think it suits the car just fine.

Use Mothers R3 or a 'racing rubber remover' equivalent... what also works is bug & tar remover.
