150KM deep, car is The grey grew on me very quickly.
Car was dropped off for 3M today, after only 150KM there are already a few very very small rock chips on the side intakes, people aren't kidding when they say the GT4 is prone to rock chips :s
Really though the GT4 is worthy of the hype!

So after about a month and a meager 500KM I will note the following;
- GT4 is a magnet for rock chips, mainly the side intake ducts, you constantly hear rocks bouncing around in there.
- Tires and brakes need some heat, until they are warm the car has very limited braking and grip, which sort of hurts the street driving experience, I've already had the back end come out more than expected a number of times.
- Thank god I bought the sport seats and not the race buckets, even 30 minutes in the sport seats starts to irritate my back.
- Stereo (With Nav package) is pretty awful, granted that's not why you buy one of these cars, but still, for 100K, common.
- The A/C blows so cold there is a risk of hypothermia.
- Gearing is loooooong, just as everyone else has said.
Ultimately I end up in the familiar position of feeling like it's simply not fun having a "fast" car for public roads anymore, slow drivers, speed limits, traffic, just ruins the experience. Maybe it's gotten worse over the last 3 years or maybe I was just very ignorant to it before and drove like a retard - considering the fact I've only had one speeding ticket in last 9 years that's probably not the case.
I'm still hunting for an E92 M3 in a number of specific colors, I feel like that car best straddles the line between race car capabilities and street driving comfort/fun... I suspect I will part with the GT4 at some point soon. I am also still searching for a 997.1 RS but that will really just be a C&C car, something that rarely sees the light of day.
Since having back surgery I'm really enjoying just being active, I would much rather go for a bike ride than a drive in the car.

Maybe you shouldn't be a fucking pussy and track your car. I don't get why you buy performance cars but don't do performance driving . I'm sure you will enjoy then more.

well for starters he lives in fucking edmonton. the roads are so bad there... also, do they even have any tracks there to race on?

I found the GT4 brakes to be quite good for street use. I see that you got steel brakes, it shouldn't need that much heat for good stopping power.

You are wrong, I would enjoy them less, because I'm broke and I can't afford brake pads or tires.

Mehhh the OEM pads inspire twice as much confidence when hot vs. cold IMO. Sure they are adequate for the street, but the feel and sensation of braking power is far better when you have some heat in them.

I have to agree with the tires, they are expensive. But brake pad isn't that bad.
I haven't try steel brake personally, PCCB do need a bit of heat to get it working but still more than adequate for the street just like you said.
