I'm wondering that because in the Turbo it's not and you'd lose the overboost capability. The GT3 doesn't have that but I'm wondering if you have "less" power as a result.

Sunroof
It was kind of warm today, so I was driving the new GT3 with the sunroof open. Man, does it sound good with the roof open! Complaints about the sunroof not withstanding, I enjoyed it so much I had to post about it. 
A GT3 convertible, anyone?

That would be fun! Seeing a GT3 cabrio! A friend of mine paged me earlier today asking if I was out in Issaquah because he thought my car was there. We both have the same wheels so that's where he got confused. I asked him to check to see if the car had a huge wing on the rear and sure enough it did, it was your GT3. 
I knew it couldn't have been mine because it was up in Lynnwood getting the VentureShield put on.
Accutint originally put the 3M material on my car but I noticed that the front end seemed to look like a different shade of blue which was because of the yellow tint of the 3M film. VentureShield is much clearer and truly looks invisible to the naked eye and the front end matches the rest of the car too. They also applied a permanent nano-based coating to the car so I'll supposedly never have to wax/polish my car again.

Again, congratulations, Ray

It was put on by BJ and John at Metropolitan Detail up in Lynnwood (425) 672-8140.
