You got alot of food on the plate there and very big pizza. But not same quality like pistenklause👍
GTS is produced may, not sure of date. Hope to put your car on the scale vs mine, want to see how porky it is vs Porsches finest. Hope we can do that some day.

This got my attention:
"The passive dampers offer far better body control than the electronically adjustable standard ones, while the ride is busy but much better at maintaining a constant contact patch through the tyres. With the Cup tyres warmed through, traction is therefore much, much better than the sometimes wayward standard car, meaning you can exploit the increased power earlier and harder than ever."
The PASM in the Porsches does a good job of providing both road comfort and track competence, but I'm not convinced that it's at the point of being able to surpass well-tuned passive damping on the track. Do any of the Porsche factory race cars use active damping?

I also has mentioned this several times, this KW 3 ways is superior to my GT4 suspension. As well superior them GT3 suspension. No one drive them electro suspension on nur. Most are on KW 3 ways suspension. Wich is in M4 GTS as well.

My friends at manthey racing, who win most race down there. They wanted to put on 3 ways KW to my gt4 to give it some speed:-)
Initialt In my serch For camber in gt4 they advice to just go all in with KW 3 ways, but that was to much dollars For my liking, but I know the superior suspension and what it can do to a car. Much of the speed in GTS is for sure coming also from that well tuned 3ways KW suspension. Now this is stock in a BMW street car(read street car made for real track drivning)

I had some fun driving today with my GT350 and someone in a new M4 coupe black - heavily modified with exhaust, suspension loud as hell exhaust and a turbo stutter i've only heard in race cars. It was awesome, I have no idea what he did to the car but it was impressive and fast as hell.
