Looks like a passenger mesh grille replacement is in your future.

I wonder if you could buy a titanium roll cage and check it in as luggage?

Did you explain to him that if he used more of the track he might not hold you up as much?

Seriously though, I do find it interesting that with all of the supposed fatter torque down in the .2 3RS vs the .1, not to mention increased HP and freer revving nature, that you couldn't close the gap at all on the straights.

Once I took a GT2 swaybar onboard as carry-on. It was from the US to Europe. (Much cheaper in US then Europa at that point.)
Also had a complete set of brake pads in my backpack.

It was fine with the US security guys: "You will not hurt anyone with that?" - "No Sir!"
The German Security was not so co-operative :-)

Cause those Germans thought you stole some contraption from their dungeons.

I once brought a VW Polo GTI exhaust from engine to the end box. Of course not as cabin baggage but as bulk.
I have put that in a ski bag

The things i have done for my brother

Not a clue, never happened to me before and I haven’t heard or felt anything?

no problem to ship I think.

The car has a meter or two advance in some corners where you can take advantage of the midrange torque.
Full throttle up the hill here at Spa I’m not pulling them, not even in their draft shifting at 9000RPM.
I know because there was a .1 GT3RS MR and he was a much better (supercup) driver and we went over it today.

The .2 has much more drag and downforce negating straight line advantage.

I'm happy that I finally figured out the thread title is European delivery and not erectile disfunction

How does it work when you take the car back to Porsche to have it shipped over? Does Porsche fix things like this screen and anything else? Do they wash and detail the car to prep it to be covered to ship back? If you install any aftermarket parts like their club sport titanium rear bar does that stay in the car?

They won't fix anything. Condition is noted on the bill of lading and off it goes. Can't have any non-factory parts installed or won't be allowed past the port in the US. That all needs to be uninstalled.
