A fun read about Zwart's new 4.0.
My kind of Porsche owner! Drive it and enjoy the adventures that follow!

http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtest...-new-ride.html

This isn’t some kind of garage queen, either. As Zwart told us, “If my last GT3 RS 3.6 was any indication — it had 41,000 miles on it when I let it go — the 4.0 will be in for quite a ride. On Saturday I’m headed home to Northern California. I’m just a camera that records the world as I drive, so my car never stays parked for long.”

...“Since I’m using it as my every-day car,” he says, “I got nav and XM satellite radio and all that funny stuff that really doesn’t line up for a full race car for the street, but I do need some things. Also I got a little red stitching inside.

"I deleted the graphics so I can go slightly low key. My last RS was black with black graphics, which worked well. I’m not a metallic paint kind of guy, so I asked for this in Dark Sea Blue, an old Porsche Cayenne color....
