You mean the section of the car that's hitting curbs at almost 90 mph as we go through the chicane on the back stretch???

I really appreciate the effort that Whoopsey, C.J., and others make to provide RL with useful and timely information that would not otherwise be available (information which is always subject to change by Porsche, but which is nevertheless useful and appreciated when initially offered). They do it by choice - not obligation - and they do a great job of walking that fine line of providing information without incurring the wrath of Porsche. So, speaking for myself, I say thank you! Also, if my aging memory is correct, Whoopsey does deserve the credit for the 4.0.

So consumable under race conditions? It just looks out of place next to everything around it.

Pretty much! Every bit of carbon or hemp composite on the car is top notch. The doors, bumpers, etc are an OCD kid's dream!

Yeah the rest of it looks fantastic that's why that section stood out as less than perfect....

From the earlier posted photos it looks like they put a lot of effort in to make the interior look a bit more polished than the old car as well. It looks really well done.

Indeed. As mentioned there were part truths in many posts. I have particularly enjoyed your posts. The anticipation builds for the release of the road car/s.

Saw the car in person today.....good to see you John........and can confirm the fit and finish is quite impressive. Must admit I was not a fan of the rear of the car in pictures but it looks good in person....as does the front. Overall I like the exterior changes.

Yep, would really like those track ready brakes, lugs and wheels. Please please be an option.
