- 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.

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.
