Can't beat GT Silver, and the wheels you chose are perfect.
You'll be a wreck by Thursday - better let Michelle drive it home.

My engine's overall sound, although without the Sport Exhaust, started taking on a "well-oiled machine" voice at about 14,000 miles. Now at 20, it's even more so: a real symphony of induction growling, chain whirring, and a sound like a room full of seamstresses on their Singers. And that cold start clacking after the idle drops has been absent since the oil touch up. Driving these cooled off summer nights on lightly trafficked country roads has been nearly epiphanous.

Please don't drive it over any dirt or puddles. Keep that underside sparkling
Somewhere I saw a video talking about how they get the engine noise into the cabin of 911s. I remember a sort of plastic membrane looking thing that functioned like a speaker, driven only by the air behind it without any air passing from engine compartment to passenger compartment. Wonder if it's the same thing.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and wishes. As a result, you've actually got Guenter in Ontario - Wednesday, 24 July, 2013, at 4:04:42 pm |
Are they charging the electric wheels? *NM* Laz - Wednesday, 24 July, 2013, at 4:16:40 pm |
They're evacuating the air and then fill with nitrogen Guenter in Ontario - Wednesday, 24 July, 2013, at 5:19:08 pm |
Nitrogen's low liquefaction point is an advantage up your way! *NM* Laz - Wednesday, 24 July, 2013, at 6:00:15 pm |

Not to open up another long winded (slight pun intended) thread on the plus/minus of nitrogen, I ran SilverBox from day one on nitrogen (as all of my other cars). The machine your dealer uses is similar to the one my Porsche dealer uses. It cycles all four tires at the same time through a process that replaces the air in the tires with the nitrogen and monitors the replacement until it is complete. The process does not require first letting all of the air out of the tires- clearly not something most of us would want done unless replacing the tire. I started using nitrogen in 1998 on one of my heaviest cars, my RR Corniche where I was extremely concerned about a blow out and the subsequent damage. The first thing I noticed in changing over to nitrogen is that the tires maintained their cold pressure for considerably longer periods of time without having to have more nitrogen put in to bring the tire back up to recommended pressure. That is, the tires lost pressure much more slowly over time through the rubber. I have found that to be true on every car and tire combo since then. SilverBox would go months without needing to have nitrogen added (though I still frequently check my tires using an expensive gauge and only rely on the TPMS as an alert). I also found the tires, particularly now that I live in the desert/Vegas, tend to increase pressure more slowly in hot weather and/or high speed driving. In the long run the minor hassle of having to go to the dealer to get the nitrogen topped was greatly offset by not having to add nitrogen in as frequently as regular air in the same tires under the same conditions. FWIW. I think you will enjoy CURVEN8R.2 running on nitrogen.Quote
Guenter in Ontario
The mechanic said it's up to each individual dealer. This one has decided to put nitrogen to fill tires in all cars it sells.

what's the scoop on stoneguard? What type, how extensive and who's doing it? If not the dealer, will you have the car transported to the location, in an enclosed trailer? (I'm only half kidding)
