CONGRATULATUIONS!!!
Can't wait to get your impression of your first track experience. It's an awesome ride! I'm 4 months and one DE into ownership and I still go to the garage and do mental laps.
enjoy

So, Dell - Is it a daily driver? How would you compare it, overall, to say, my car? Also, aren't you afraid to drive these things on the track? I mean if you were to total it, what do you do, commit suicide?

Congratulations, they are awesome cars. Use it well.
One helpful tip once you get it on the track. Make certain that you unwind the wheel from the apex out. Many drivers are not used to doing that. GT3s do not take kindly to being pinched, and they accelerate out of the corners much faster than most any other car, hence you must increase your arc, or the car will "pinch itself" due to it's aceleration. That is a main reason that so many new GT3 drivers seem to ding their cars right out of the box.
