Pfff..
I'm about to start a thread "How much must the 991RS devalue before we see a bigger number of them at the track again?"

Trying to keep the GT3RS track setup thread going but it's just a handful of guys trying to figure it out on their own, as am I. Otherwise crickets..
16,000 miles 46 track days and after much experimenting not much further then when I picked up the car 15 months ago..

Working hard to work less.
It's cutting way to much into my track time!!

I'd love to do it again this summer but seems impossible at the moment.

Tell me about it, between the year-end audit at the day job and all the listing business I'm getting it was hard to sneak out to the track. I'm trying to make it up in the next few months before it gets too hot.

My RS (still like it, not selling it) heads next week to Wright Motorsport for BBI cage and harness install. Weekend of 4/1 at NCM, PSDS Masters 4/6-7 then staying at Barber for Chin. DRIVE!

The value threads are just like dealer premiums - if no one participates they will go away.

My only gripe about these forums is that I wish there were more model specific categories so that it's easier to find topics you're interested in. Lots of great information otherwise. It'd be great to have all the ordering threads in a 991 GT3 Ordering/PCD/ED specific section rather than having to sift through posts on recommend seat belt colors, etc.

You know that this is part of "Water Cooled Technical Discussion Areas".
I guess seat belt color is kind of technical

Seriously, I agree with you.

Would like the 991.2 GT3 Thread to be split into

991.2 GT3 Technical
991.2 GT3 Configuration / My configuration
991.2 GT3 Reviews and Videos
991.2 GT3 RL's pictures and videos

etc

Those are lucky #'s for your car,

Maybe it goes like this...

Year 1: Bask in the glory that is Porsche ownership. Take the car to C&C, have spirited drives. Go out into garage daily and drool over it. Come to RL and talk about it when you aren't driving it.

Year 2: Drive the car harder, explore it more, and maybe do a DE event here or there.

Year 3: Flog the living **** out of it at the Ring.

Patience boys. We'll get there.

^Seems pointless. I'm with Trakcar on this one.

Track car

At least if it is an RS.

Yeah, wearing in the engine like that is like extra heat treating. What was I thinking?

Even as I typed, I knew I'd catch ****; that's why I typed "...and others". The list of drovers, while shorter than I wish it was, is still too long to type.
