2nd Gen GP Most liked posts in thread: Where are the GP2s?

My apologies for posting this originally in the wrong forum. If moderators could delete my post from the gen 1 thread...

#41 of the new generation is in Vancouver BC. This Sunday, members of SizeMINIClub.ca (I'm a moderator for that forum) will be visiting the member who owns it and he will be allowing members to do test drives.

 

Or just replace those rims with lighter (better looking) ones and wrap them in the new Dunlop StarSpecs DZII's or Michelin Pilot SuperSports.

 

If I was getting the GP2 (and there is still time ) I'd consider purchasing another set of rims with Michelin Pilot SuperSports.

The Kumhos are not really ideal for the street, but very useful for track days. Better to hold onto them and use for their intended use rather than burning through them in 4-5K miles of street driving IMHO. Or if you don't plan for track days, then you could sell them and recover some of the cost of the replacement tires.

Taking the free (warranty) replacements available through MINI USA is another option, but runflats + GP2 suspension could make for a rough ride.

Just 2 cents worth...

 

Apparently they were ALL at MOTD this year! That was an awesome sight and I'm glad I decided to make the trip!

SMOKIE AKA GPII 0060 resides in Northern VA and motors with DC Metro MINIs

I picked up 0478 couple weeks ago and put Pilot SS on the next day 215/45/17 took the runflat offer from dealer and sold them which covered my cost for the PSS. Cheers

 

My GP2 US# 0444 (Prod # 1437) is right next to my 06 GP0808.... 2 totally awesome cars...just over 4k miles on the GP2 and only 12,500 miles on the 06

 

Irvine Mini in SoCal has four them! I'm shocked by this, perhaps your average buyer doesn't really know what the GP2's represent... I be lucky to ever own one, I raced a GP1 the other night. Still looks beautiful, you must appreciate what there are!

 

GP2 #0073 resides in Clovis, CA. It belongs to my buddy who sold his GP1 #1605 to make room for the new arrival.

Sorry Rick but they are at the dealerships and not selling that well. I heard this from my local dealer that has 4. (2) were ordered and (2) just sitting collecting dust.

 

I counted ~40 advertised on Auto Trader today. It will take time to move all 500 in the US. Same situation as with the GP1.

 

I'd trade my MCS for one if I could.

 

Since this is a GP2 thread....
Not stirring anything up, not hating just asking....

Tires ..Did you swap out? or are you still running the Kuhmos?

We sold a couple here and 1 customer swapped tires before delivery, the other kept the Kuhmos and drove off....

 

Anyone with a GP2 have any responses?

Just curious about what tires you are going with on your GP2?

 

I searched TireRack and it looks like no one is making a 17 inch wheel for the GP2 yet.

I was looking for a nice (cost effective) light OZ or Enkei Racing PF01 in black. They would look sweat.


I am sure BBS or Fikse would custom build you a race set if money is no object.:lol:

 

Hankook R-S3s. Until I see more tests on the DZIIs color me unconvinced they better than R-S3s.
