No chewing tobacky or snuff either...ever.

Sounds like a riot, Tex, except for the johnny cash, beer, bourbon, board shorts, work boots, cowboy hat, more boots, and the mouth and nose cancer

Really. It's somewhat manageable at Laguna, but at Sears Point...it was downright frustrating. Bone stock GT4 owned by a close friend who had the suspension dialed in to what it would allow.

However, it's easy to avoid. You won't make it understeer on the street, and if you're going to take it to a track, modify it. Besides that all the cheapo blank buttons in the center console, the car is flawless.

Good report.

I'll also add that most GT4 owners will probably never run out of car.

Eh?
Anyway, enjoy the car.
Out.

Looks amazing! can't wait to see delivery photos!

Just saw a white one with bronze rims on Jamboree recently. Drool!

You should add CF door sills, looks much better than standard ones IMO.

Over MSRP?

AW335TT · 03-15-2016, 11:55 PM

Fk.. That looks nice.. Congrats!

Those fenders should have been stock

Really? They're that rare in your neck of the woods?

Go to a Starbucks in the nicer part of town on a Saturday or Sunday. You're bound to see one.

Yes, but not crazy over. GT3RS listed for $100K ADM sold in a few days.

More than likely at a C&C. I've only seen one in OC since last November when I started looking. Approx. 1,102 GT4's in the US.

I had an idea to have a buddy drive my Fit to go pick it up, but we might get kicked off the lot. BMW did a very nice deliver presentation for the M6. I'm curious what Porsche will do for a GT.

I'm sure I'll come across one eventually, but the Guards Red just takes this to another level.

OP I'm serious. Pleeeeeeease let me shoot this thing

Dealer dependent.

Haha!

Honda Fit could easily be seen as a commuter car that transcends income levels.

I can let you borrow a worse car.

Congrats! It is a great car, be sure to experience it at least once in its natural habitat.
