Does anyone daily drive their GT3?

Has anyone on here used their GT3 as a daily driver? If so how did you like it and what was your experience with it?
Thanks,
Chris

I drive mine everyday. I even make excuses to go places to get more seat time.

GT3 as a daily driver should not be a problem. The ride is firm, but not jarring. However, it is very frustrating to get caught in traffic because of the constant urge to open her up!

I DD too, the only thing I changed was the tires from MPSC to Toyo Proxes 1, made the ride very smooth and even pouring rain is no issue

not at all, club coupe more comfortable, and less chance to get a ticket.

Absolutely - and my suspension is modified with 650/850 springs, revalved shocks, solid mounts and all the rest. The smile on my face is why.....

on your GT3? What year? I have heard things about specific tire manufacturers with these cars but if I can throw Toyos on the car when I get it I am game!

Thanks

(Oh, and I will use the GT3 as a semi-daily when I get it...have the M3 vert)

^^ Many people throw Toyo's on. Check out how many people use R888 and RA-1's. I'm awaiting a set of R888's to be mounted and balanced right now.

I drive mine almost every day. The toughest part is staying under control and not opening it up! This car is made to be driven no matter what.
