Hmmm, tried it with google chrome and IE, but no dice, and the code looks fine, too. Anyway, I managed to get it ordered, so that's good enough for me.

I haven't tracked my Corvette on a road course, but I have friends that do and have a great time with them. The motors are great for both drag racing and road courses. They run Sebring, Homestead and Palm Beach International in them. They hang right with the 911 turbos out on the track.
Don't know how a 944 would do with the extra weight on the nose, OP would need to fill you in on that.

There's not a lot of "extra weight" on the front of the car, Depending on options, there may be 100 lbs or less. The 100 lbs is on the high side. We install these all the time and the cars handle very well. The car owner may want to upgrade the front springs and the brake, but other than that, in the stock body of the 944 it works quite well.

These MY02 lightweights are roughly the same weight as my 17" Cup 2's (actually the rears are lighter) and I can bleed the brakes without removing the wheels. Of course, no where near as good looking as the Rufs Sorry for the confusion, it's the same car but with the 951 body upgrades. Before:

Quickzilver- That is a mean C6 you have! If you're ever in Ft Lauderdale, stop by German Performance and drive Mike's LS1 swap. They have done somewhere near 30 944 V8 conversions. Word of caution; if you give his car a spin be prepared to be hooked
