Should be no issues but you will have to swap your passenger side occupancy sensor from the 18ways over. Bolt in-just 4 bolts and they are out.

and no. a canyon drive is not the street version of a technical track. the challenge with a canyon is you don't have road to use. you're stuck inside the lane. which is simply a balance and grip proposition. a GT3 would do significantly better due to more downforce keeping you balanced within the confines of the lap markings, as well as far more mechanical grip.

but you are correct in your last statement. if you are driving a GT3 largely on the street, you don't need to spend the extra money.
I never said it wasn't easy to keep in its correct power band. To recap, all the comments made here haven't been that the GT3 isn't a great car, most comments and certainly mine have just emphasized that at slower speeds (i.e, like in turns), the cars aren't that far apart. Also, on highly technical courses or really twisty canyon drives, the added aero on the GT cars give nominal advantage (I agree largely mechanical grip or stickier tires). Again, this is why I state that on twisties, the cars are quite comparable. Let's face it, anyone can hit the gas on a straight, but the real fun is in turns!

As far as the unskilled driver comment, if you are ever out on the west coast, look me up. I'm the treasurer for the So Cal Lotus Club and we run our own events and cap driver count at 45 total, with three run groups of 15. I'll happily take a friendly gentlemen lap challenge in a T and we'll see who's the more skilled driver. Hell, I'll even let you drive my T to ensure it's apples to apples. BTW, you wreck it, you buy it!

i'm not having an internet battle here or even a real battle on a track.

my point was just what i said before. there's no point in comparing them, because they are different cars that serve very different purposes.

like i said, T is the swiss army knife. GT3 is the scalpel. the scalpel is great, until you need a screw driver or scissors to do what you're doing.

Agreed, no battle here, just a friendly discussion. BTW, I would still encourage you to come out to one of our events. The super low car count makes it feel like you rented the track for yourself.

Able to post pictures?

Also, I think your car is mostly stock? Would be interesting to hear your car and F1SML8R together side-by-side as he has equal length headers.

Starting a new thread for the T owners.

Mine is white, LWB, 7MT. Arrives in June.

send me your info and I will start a spreadsheet. Maybe less of these than the GT3 cars.

Cool. Do you know a place in Houston where I can get a perm? My preference is to use the smallest rollers possible.

Can you guys remind me, or is there still a way to see the way you could build or spec a T, but if spec'ing Miami Blue seatbelts, could you keep the silver T interior package, or were the Miami Belts only available with the black interior option?

I don't think it was on the configurator, but the dealer could sub red, yellow, or blue belts with the sliver T package or the base black. And I think they could sub Blue or Silver with the Red package and Blue or Silver with the Yellow package. I looked into this as I was interested in Blue belts and calipers with the silver package on a Polar Silver T, but they ultimately denied all PTS and CXX.

cheers!

Too funny!
