Very relieved and excited now about the .2 but IMO the GT4 is inferior to absolutely nothing. It's a high water mark for Porsche IMO and sounds like nothing else on the road, regardless of price. All of the snobbery about the engine is nonsense.

Also RS has bigger tires, more down force, allows front wheels to cool off better with the vents up front, better trans, better seamless shifting so IMO will still be a better car then the .2 GT3.. Did I also mention better looking?

I Was Just Having A LITTLE fun but yeah there are some 911 snobs on here but it does not bother me because I have the means to choose what ever I want to drive

Congrats on the .2. I will also be getting a .2 but a later allocation because I want a other season enjoying my GT4. I made the mistake in the past of trading my current toy too soon and had nothing to enjoy for a season which was torture. Trying to save some dollars was a lesson learned

Can't argue with that logic. Hopefully picking up an older classic to enjoy in the meantime (although it will also be a long-term keeper).

One person i know off ran a 1:46 at California Speedway with his .1 GT3 which was 3 seconds faster then any other car in his class ever (set a new track record for his class) and he was the one who made that claim.

Truth is most people can't because they just don't have the ***** to do what the car is capable of.

Don't mean to be rude but first off drifting does not impress me, and we all know is slow around the track as far as track times.

On your second video did you break any track records for your class?

And again sorry but hard to take someone serious when they don't have harnesses, hans device, and wearing shorts!

Also you did not even have a post on this thread before my statement so...

Are you asking how those safety devices will make you go faster?

Interesting question from a PCA instructor.

Harness and racing seats will keep you in your seat so you are not using energy to keep you planted.

Roll Bars will help keep the car from flexing and make it more stable.

He at least added a fire extinguisher so if he is on fire, he can put himself out.

No,

Here I've spent the last 20min trying to find the ignore function on Rennlist.
Didn't even know one actually excised.
Well, found it. Added my first and only name to the ignore list.

Just to open up the app on the iPhone . Guess what.
Still there.

So, I have a solution!

Maybe ATX can be so nice to provide his email so we can all send our posts before we are being granted access to post?
