So...it turns out that after lurking on RL for years, I have been fortunate enough to become a GT4 owner. I've been inspired by the wealth of knowledge that this forum has given to me and I feel like its only fair to try to give a little back.
My goal with the GT4 is to drive it and never stop learning about how to make my skills live up to the performance potential of this car.
Because I believe that my life with my GT4 will be a journey, I want to share what I learn with this community; to prevent others from making my mistakes, to better the GT4 platform and to build a stronger community around the car. It's the posts of OrthoJoe, MayorAdamWest, Nur93 , AccelJunkie and other RL's that have inspired me to document my adventure. Here we go...
What's the Car For?
Club and private track days, coaching sessions, demo rides
Time trials
Driving to work occasionally
Get tossed around Northern California (no room for a tow vehicle and trailer, so this is my "fun" car and track day toy)
Where
All over the west coast, Nevada, Utah and Colorado (no snow, no salt, little altitude)
Home circuit is Sears with most of my time spent at Thunderhill and Laguna

Car is in the shop. PCM unit totally unresponsive to any input but has power. Tech looking into it. Says there is a new software update for the unit and will try to flash it. They are also going to remove the honk at lock feature.
