Just look at my new avatar (Thanks to PogueMoHone for taking that pic).

OK. That is all. Thank you.





Haha... It is a freakin' beast! Brakes to stop a train, awesome broad powerband. Good torque down low. Revs and revs and revs. Crazy!

Tires are wearing very evenly and very neutral handling at stock settings. I found the handling to be wholly confidence inspiring and not even close to a scary moment. The grip is tremendous.

It is a very quiet exhaust I think, but it does sound good.

On my trip back from the track to Reno, 3.5 hours drive, I WILL be wearing ear plugs however. The cabin noise is very high. Suspension is supple and does not beat you up on the road.

The car has been flawless so far and no oil used.

Heel and toe is NOT a problem. Just needed to get the car under track conditons. No need for pedal extension.

A gentleman with a White/Red '10 RS is here too and is a very fast driver, owns/ed multiple Porsche GT cars and thinks the car (his RS, on the track here) is awesome.

You guys who use these cars as they are meant to be are in for a real treat. What an amazing track machine.

Here is a sample lap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjFxqaAbiNk

Oh- to get here yesterday I drove through sleet, freezing rain and snow at 28-32 degree temps across the mountains. Kept my attention high, but surprisingly, no sliding about. You should have seen the coating of road grime and salt on my car!

Thanks for the kind comments! I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity in life to have these experiences. So I enjoy sharing with the other forum readers.

I would mention as well the friendliness and professionalism of the Golden Gate PCA that is hosting this three-day event. Very fine folks and my coach today was fantastic (Thanks again Fred!). All volunteers and my hat is off to them for their effort.

 

WOW! Out on the track already! Good for you. Love to be there

Joe will be there tomorrow and he will drive his GT3 for me until I get better

 

Bad lines but oh well new car as expected. Love the engine noise though : ). Congrats. Mike

nice purple tips btw. I guess they just had to get hot enough. Did you try unplugging the baffle switch trick yet?

 

Hope you heal fast! Too bad you could not be out here.

I think he had a bit of forum burn-out or so I gather. Happens to all of us! He looks happy and healthy.
