GT3 RS Smoke at startup
I'm asking GT3 or RS owners if at initial startup the car put out some blue/white smoke. My RS is not broken in yet. Could that be why?

That is the RS's way of saying, "hurry up and get past the break in". We are having the Cars & Coffee next Sat, same place 9am. Bring the RS, we are going for a fun drive afterwards.

I have 210 miles as of right now. As for cars and coffee, I have the RS with me in San Diego (Trailered it) for the Porsche Parade. I came here a week early to get away from the heat.

Happen to me once or twice. Don't think it's anything to worry about.

I'm in San Diego... what's the Porsche Parade and when is it? I'd love to see your RS. That's the model & color I'm looking to purchase in a couple years!

"Trailered it"????? ????? ???????? Good God man!! What ever happened to driving these cars!!!! You guys are killing me.

BTW I have nearly 9000 mile on my 3 and if I leave it sit for a week or so, which I try not to do, it will puff a little smoke at start up.
