Default GT3T for daily?
Anyone going to daily their GT3T?

Seems like the perfect daily (a little stiff). Not as extravagant as the club sport or RS and all the pleasure...

The orthopods where I work drive their R8’s and gallardos when the weather is nice so I don’t see why not. It certainly will be more understated than their choices. I prefer a little more understated.

The GT3T is MADE for DD.

It is literally my favorite DD from any manufacturer. I certainly use it that way.

No, it's only good for driving to Cars & Coffee. Unless of course you go to Cars & Coffee daily.

My 2014 GT3 was my daily driver as will my 2018 GT3T - if it ever escapes Davisville

Pretty much any car can be used as a daily driver

I didn't purchase my GT3 touring as a daily driver, but just can't resist driving it every day

Not good as DD due to RWD, MT, low ground clearance, 2 seats, drinks fuel.

Haha! Sounds like my Z06. Had it for two years as a DD. Loved it. F12 would be the same but has double clutch. For me , they are all great daily drivers.

Going to daily my .2 with wing so the touring would be even more discreet. Most won't know it's a "GT3"

I will say that if you have rough roads in your neck of the woods, the suspension can feel stiff, very stiff - that would be my *only* concern for daily driver based on my experience. Took my car through some rough roads unintentionally and my old man and I were holding on for dear life

Also get the lifter unless you live in Florida or somewhere with extremely flat roads. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Saved my front bumper more times than I can count in just 12 days of driving, extended tank is nice for more time between fill ups

You live in LA so you can pretty much DD anything. Don't know where OP is so just wanted to play it safe.
