Before stepping into my car, I was seriously considering a built engine/trans GTR. I see that you were FBO on your GTR, and I'd love to read your observations on the differences between your GTR and your Turbo S?

it’s honestly day and night. GTR are amazing cars, best bang for the buck, fast, sounds amazing... but turbo S is the next level, interior is way better, it’s faster and it’s more elegant.

I had some racing stripes put on today ( same as exclusive series ). Also did the rear spoiler

Wow, this looks great! Mind sharing the stripe color and the design on the rear wing? I was considering adding Exclusive stripes in carbon or matte black to my 991.1 tts cab but didn't think they would contrast enough with the black paint.

Is the car on the stock springs or lowered?

Ride height looks stock to me. I'm a fan of the stock suspension/ride height, so I think it looks perfect!

I got the same little tear in mine, I’m tired of dealing with that bladder so I’m just going to remove it altogether and do something different, I’m removing the rear motorized wing too

Sam’s team at World Motorsports can fab this front lip for me out of the Techart front lip and a front under tray to close the gap underneath





and then if you can see it I’m having this rear ducktail made without the GT3 wing, so just the vented sculptured rear ducktail...and then putting some of the cup car under carriage aero with a modified version of the 911R rear diffuser so I’ll get under body downforce to replace the motorized wing downforce
