Wrong section but right car!
I don't know if you guys are still getting the nasty weather up there but some sunny day pics with the top down would be great. One of only a few I have seen with lugged wheels.
Congrats. Going to be a nice summer for you.

Sunny day pictures coming after I put on new BBS-CH-R wheels, Techart III wing, and aero package front spoiler lip, later this week. The centerlock are cool looking, but for the track it is a pain in the A**, and not too many wheel choices at this time. I run 18" 9 front, 12 rear, and they just do not have what I want at a reasonable price. Good old 5 lug has a ton of choices.

When the time is right and the GTS remains my choice I will look for a lugged car. Nothing against the CL but it is not for me and I want to personalize the car as you seem to be doing.
Your son reminded me of the day, mannnnny moons ago, when my dad told my two brothers and I to take the trash to the garage. We asked why do all three of us need to take it... Just do it, he said. I was about eight I guess.
We went into the garage and he had a new Triumph Bonneville sitting there. We started spinning around like little puppies. Life was even better back then.
Keep us updated with the mods!

Great choice of car. Just bought my wife a black/black cab GTS as well. Exhaust is great and the car is quick. A tune and remove the heavy exhaust and I'm afraid this car would upset quite a few GT3 guys, me included.

I bet it's a little early on tunes, but I am thinking of getting a bypass pipe in the rear. That removes the rear muffler, while still keeping the exhaust button function in tact. So you will have loud, and then louder. All while removing maybe 50 pounds of unneeded muffler. Would need to get with Sharkewerks/Evoms on tuning. Getting this car to 430 or 440 HP with PDK paddles might be the bomb.

Will look into it. Let me know when you find out something about it.

Can't control the weather. Picked it up and drove it into a snow storm. As I pulled into the garage my son was so excited he snapped the picture and posted the thread.

The centerlock are cool looking, but for the track it is a pain in the A**, and not too many wheel choices at this time.
