I like your style T. Words to live by....fuck it and do it anyway.
You only live once.
Those will even ruin the splitters on the PP2.Those one will ruin a regular GT350 splitter also.... it will hit bang on.
Consider yourself lucky to make it one hour. I made it 2 minutes before scrapping the splitter. HahaCongrats! Pics when you get a chance. I bought my 18 R back in Oct. 1 hour into ownership, splitter scrape. Yesterday, splitter scrape. Lol. All from my driveway on the initial incline. Getting to the point where it's rare now tho. Practice helps.
yes, my point though is that neither the PP2 nor the non-R splitters "stick out" as far as the R, so it's deceiving and you'll ruin the splitter easier/earlier than one might think.Those will even ruin the splitters on the PP2.
With any low car, caution is always the plan when parking.
Santa Cruz huh, me as 2, well kind of up in BC. Congrats on the car! I had a 16 tech and upgraded to the R, well worth it, just wish they had Kona or DIB for 2017 but oh well. I got my from CA as well, ordered it from the dealer at MSRP did the wait for it and still don't regret it. Hope to see you around SC.Thank you! It is indeed amazing. Iām looking forward to getting on the track with it.
I did indeed get it in California, a few weeks ago. Dumb luck - happened to be in the right place at the right time. Dealer was stoked too, since they had the car sold before it was removed from the train.
That is where I got mine and traded my 16 into. It helped I was friends with the sales guy and bought 3 cars from him.i'm pretty surprised to hear of anyone getting their R in CA for sticker. i know morgan hill (san jose) does not mark up their cars, but they have wait lists because of that. otherwise you guys did well. congrats.
They probably have, I raced AFM for 8 years back in the day. Car is pretty amazing on the track, I still like my bike better but that's probably because it cost about as much as 1 cf rim, lol.When I bought my ā16, I followed the advice on the forums to have the dealerships leave the splitter off and put it on myself which was wise. I followed that strategy again and at least made it home before my first scratch.
Awesome to know thereās at least one other in SC. I have seen a few GT350s, but cant recall seeing an R. If you ride bikes on the track as well, Iām sure our paths have crossed at some point.
Thereās a device you can buy on America Muscle or CJ Pony for $160 that transmits an audible warning as your approach a barrier. It can be mounted ABOVE your splitter, in the lower grill, for example and will save you possibly $$$ over time.FYI, if you're new with the R and its splitter, that thing sticks out enough where it's deceiving. For example, those parking stop blocks at Lowes or shopping centers where the bumper of most cars just parks "over", you will ruin your splitter with it. You've got to really move up super slow, stop, get out and check, then move up more. talking about these things...
