New GT3 Owner With a Question
I recently purchased a 2011 GT3 with 15,000 miles. Car had a PPI done at the dealership, and everything checked out. My question is, how hot is normal for the front of the hood (badge) and upper bumper to get after "spirited driving"? Mine was too hot to touch.

Thank you,

Charles

P.S. LOVE this car!!

Hmm, never noticed mine as I've never got out of the car and touched it.

I don't know how hot, but whenever it rains I see that the water evaporates. Same with turning it on at a car wash.

Gets hot b/c front radiator vent runs close to the hood latch and front of hood line. You need to go faster for added cooling effect! LOL.
