Default Best angle to view your GT3 / RS

Okay, slow day here at MyProgrammer. As I am waiting for a meeting to start, I remembered an incident I had at Bandimere. I was waiting in line for another 1/4 mile run when I got out and starting chatting with a few other guys. It was getting dark and the lights were on at the track. I was standing towards the rear of the car (driver's side) when I turned back to look to see if the line was moving.

It was at that point that I discovered the absolute best view of my car. The way the light hit the lines of the car, I was literally like wow. So I am standing there thinking that I need to get a picture of this, but how bad is this going to look snapping a photo of my car in front of these guys? So I nonchalantly pull out my camera and take a quick shot.

I know. But how epic is a car that catches you like this? I mean, come on! I have had this car months. It is just an amazing car. Truly a work of art. Anyways, here's the shot. It doesn't give it justice, but trust me, this is the best angle.



Where are you standing that you think captures the best view of your car? Yeah, some will say from the driver's seat (I agree!), but from outside the car where do think she shines the most?

IMO, best view of a GT3 is from 3/4 front, or dead solid rear view from low.

^Yes,

A lower rear 3/4 angle suits the RS beautifully.

You are right, it is so subjective. I like that view and love that color. My favorite for the RS.

That does look pretty. I love that color. I like the top photo best. This car is the perfect balance of performance and art.

In my eyes, I agree here with Archimedes, 3/4 front view, then the straight on rear view low.

All these views look good.

I prefer the view from the driver's seat.
