Just curious what the split is here on the RL 6-3 Forum.

Bought her mainly for track work but I'll also enjoy some street time, too.

Track most of the time

Street to get gas and service.

Will be full track now but even before then it's just miles to track and back. It's not really enjoyable ride in the street. Mike

70%+ track. Take it out every now and then just to shake out the cobwebs.

Similar for me. Mostly track, but once in a while on the street to "let the poison out", as Dave Lambert would say

I drive it all the time. I have company vehicle with free gas, but how can you let a GT3 sit and collect spider webs?

Hit the track as much as possible, but I have too many other hobbies for it to take over my life.

I drive it once every week or two to-from work. Plus the track of course. Even with 700/900# springs, it's great on the highway. At cruising speeds it actually gets better gas mileage than my E-class.
