Again, thanks everyone!

I decided to drive the car this morning in rush hour so I can break in the car properly. I heard that stop and go traffic was better then highway miles. I did enought of that yesterday

The ride again is very different. Definetly not as comfy as the TT, but very bearable.

I did notice as well that the car vibrates a lot more and when looking at my rear view mirror it's tough to see what cars are behind you from a distance as the rear view mirror is vibrating.

Well I've decided on the next mods for sure.

- keeping yellow calipers
- green roll cage
- green lips (this way I differentiate my car from Josh's as we're neighbors)
- rennline mats
- V-one
- another CHP-1199 plate
- opening up exhaust flaps so it's always loud (carlsen will do that for me)
- Bumper plug (key hole)

I think that's it for now.

Nice. I agree with painting the lips green OR consider doing the stripe around the tire thing (in green). It might look better and make the rims look bigger, whereas painting the lip might make the black rims appear smaller. Just a thought. Either way, it's siiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!

Well I just drove the TT today and WOW these cars are soo different!

They are night and day when it comes to power / TQ. You wanna go, just press the gas and your off!!!

The TT as well is sooo much more comfortable to drive. It truely can be a daily driver!

The funniest thing though for me was when I was parking my GT3 in the garage and had to get in the TT right after to switch spots. I swear to god that when I engaged the clutch I felt like my foot when right through the floor! It was like pressing on warm butter or basically air ! The TT and GT3 clutches are soo different!

I must say that after driving the TT today it does make me want to keep it as well!

I would say it's like Dr. Jeckel and Dr. Hyde

I find your opinions & comparisons between the 2 cars very helpful and interesting; would certainly like to hear more as you get to know the RS better.

Congrats and thanks in advance.

Fred you should have seen me getting in my Mini Cooper and pressing the clutch.

Yes the TT is alot more driveable for Daily but you have the RR for that, the GT3 is more of a sports car out of the box and so much closer to all our expectations regarding handling and road feel..
