Bassam - gorgeous car. Looks great on the gold BBS rims. Do yiou also have a mark II GT3?

bassam

thanks! it's a GT2. did you end up buying the BBS wheels?

bigunit_271078

GT2 - nice! I am very tempted to get one as well at some stage. How do you find it compared to your 964? Any reason you chose that to complement the 964 over a GT3 or other cars?

BBS wheels I cant justify cost wise just now so will park that for a while.

2 different beasts, GT2 is a highway queen and an almost 200 mph horsepower and torque monster. The 964 is a hill country car with short gears (140 mph in 6th gear) and no power assisted anything. A 996 GT3 is more comparable to a well prepared track 964 than a GT2. They both are fun but I get more thumbs up when driving the "old" one

Nice. I'm originally from Laredo but now reside in DFW.

Bassam,

Great looking car. Looks like you have GT3 style exhaust. Do you have a photo or two more of the rear? I'm thinking of that same style on my 964. LOVE the license plate. You ever get to TWS?

It is a 997 GT3 muffler, I blocked the bypass intakes and used the upper ones only. the sound is out of this world. I'm using B&B headers. I was racing with NASA at TWS, will do Time trials in the future there.

Defiant

Thanks for the extra photos! I'm sold now. Let me know if you ever run PCA events. I'm not there often for NASA but need to start going to those as well.

bassam

I'm planning to run with PCA as well, will let you know for sure. Here's the opposite side of the car:
