Everything else isn't worth the cost IMO.
^^ The LTW battery is the best bang for the buck upgrade. Conservatively saves 30-35 lbs.

If we all use this kind of logic, Porsche will go broke and Rennlist will shut down. Go back to your fridge and grab the extra strength PTS Orange koolaid and guzzle

This all makes me think about how I would weigh 20 pounds less if I was at my ideal weight. Even then I'd still weigh 215 pounds.

Its more of a resale package. Will my car be worth more when I flip it if I get the package. Thats the question every single person who considers this asks themselves.

And if you don't tick that option someone may think you weren't able to afford it. Imagine the disaster...

I called Manthey-motorsport yesterday, they say that the car maybe should have WP for resale value, also they said the PCCB's now are Great! This changed my mind, before this call, i didnt even consider PCCB, and yes Manthey they if someone do know what works and what doesnt.

Answer yes. About 50% of the retail cost of the WP more on trade over same car w/o WP.

Winning at any cost I guess. Lol.

WP for resale??? “Maybe”. Lol. There are more WP cars than non WP cars. Manthey is performance shop not purveyor of cars.

Also you were already told here Pccb is the better option. If it took a call to Manthey to change your mind why waste our time? Keep calling them.

Best performance adder hands down...Spend the money on you. Race school and coaching. Throw the other nonsense and chit Manthey is trying to sell you out the window. Now go call Manthey and see if they will tell you that.

So you lose 50% of the WP cost (you only get 50% of it back) at resale? What a win!

Yes, i do take lessons, yes i do listen to what manthey has to say, yes pccb has been mentioned here many times before, i have not read all threads but made a conclusion of rennlist that for serious tracking one should go steel.
