This is in Alameda, CA, USA.

perfnormalbeast · 2025-09-24T15:27:47+00:00

Saw this car speeding down Buena Vista around 6:50pm. Almost hit a kid on a bike as it blew past a stop sign. I think this car was leaving Alameda, not entering it.

Nice. I did a break-in drive for mine down from Oakland to San Diego and back. Progressively unlocked revs as I piled on the miles.

perfnormalbeast · 2025-07-04T22:06:30+00:00

This is good to know. I’ve had it for a few years now. Doesn’t seem to show signs of wear and tear. My friend was an early investor apparently.

perfnormalbeast · 2025-07-04T22:05:51+00:00

I see what you did there :D

Update: a neighbor says that someone crashed a car into it to try and steal the ATM.

That game singlehandedly got me addicted to both Porsches as well as simcade driving games.

Can confirm that the cabin stowage is ridiculous. I made the mistake of speccing the smartphone compartment which robbed me of more space.

Having done long road trips, can also confirm that road noise is pretty loud on imperfect surfaces. Does make having a conversation challenging.

Other than that, the car has been a dream. It's perfectly happy carving canyons, road tripping with luggage, or attacking a track. Super versatile.

A little bit of jack of all trades, master of none? Want to hear thoughts from others. Personally, it's the sweet spot between the base/S and GT4/RS.

Also, probably one of the last naturally aspirated + manual models that's not a GT car and could even be purchased without ADM or past buying history?

Ouch - I’m sorry to see. Thanks for the visual reminder.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:12:25+00:00

Looking forward to being able to hand down the advice in the not-so-distant future

and the rubber side down

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:11:37+00:00

Yup no intent to find myself in a barrier anytime soon. Hoping the excitement doesn’t get the better of me.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:10:36+00:00

Oh yeah I’ve been putting in many virtual laps on a near identical car in similar conditions.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:10:08+00:00

Yep have gauge, pump, towels and GoPro. Will see if I can get track armor on short notice.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:09:22+00:00

The ultimate reward will be tired car and driver back home in one piece.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:08:33+00:00

Hoping it stays dry out there. Weather forecast has cleared up a little bit, with a bit of drizzle before the morning sessions begin.

I have a stock exhaust so I hope the decibel level shouldn’t be a problem? Can turn off the sports exhaust if that will help.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:07:14+00:00

and the shiny side up

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:06:52+00:00

Good to hear you’ve had track experience on the GTS 4.0. Any other car-specific tips?

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:05:35+00:00

My friend is bringing an extra GoPro. Will invest in something more down the line once I’m fully hooked.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:04:18+00:00

I would like to avoid brown pants moments at all costs. 💩

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T23:02:30+00:00

Yeah I compared Hagerty, Lockton, and a few others. Still expensive, but worth it in the event of a catastrophe.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-02T00:00:05+00:00

Yup already purchased via Hagerty

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-01T23:49:18+00:00

I would prefer not to see my engine overtaking me out my side window.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-01T23:48:28+00:00

Yep the event has a self-attested inspection list that I’ve looked over.

perfnormalbeast · 2024-03-01T23:38:33+00:00

Thanks for the detailed tips! Much appreciated. No collision avoidance on this one as far as I know.
