I really wish you would bring that car to me before you dump it. I think it's nuts that the only thing holding you back are the brakes and that it's a crime that you keep having issues. You've been a PDK GTS owner/supporter for as long as i can remember. Just bring that thing to me and if i can't fix the brakes and make it last around Sebring i won't ever ask you for another favor again!
I know....I know....what I have planned is I’m taking the car over to Vortex here in Tampa....they are going to rebuild the calipers and paint them red again. I’m going to think about what I’m going to do. I have to come over to Daytona in October for some sales calls at music stores so I’ll call you and stop by so we can talk.
FYI, you can ask me for any favors...anytime...always! ;-)
Those are good times on a relatively stock car. Did the Cup2 tires make the car feel better through the high speed sections?
i would imagine they would. I never ran the car on the stock Pirelli PZero’s. I know some of my corner speeds are about the same as my 2012 997 GTS which had Nitto NT01, and Bilstein Damptronic Coilovers, GT3 adjustable sway bars, GT3 lower,control arms, and the car had the factory GT3 aero,package which I felt helped plus the car was corner balanced and I ran GT2 seats and 6 point which was way better in the corners. The 991 chassis is better but I can feel my 991 GTS drift more, lean more. If this 991 GTS had those type of mods I had on my 997 and I drove as many DE as I use to this 991 would be around 2:19-20 with me driving it easy.

I came up with a solution today I believe to fit 380mm brakes up front that will complement the pads and fluid going on the car. Over the next 2 weeks I'm headed back to the dyno once more and then next week I'm going to install everything on the car listed above.

C'mon Dude! You can't make an exciting statement like that and not share! I want Brembo type 380 mm rotors but need a bracket and to know what pads. I already run SRF and love it. I finally have the correct Pagid yellow after being sent three sets. Won't fit them until I see about 380 and that may mean they need to go back for a fourth time. LOL
I paid less for the pair than most people pay for them used! Scope around, they're highly sought after seats. I want that OE look, not that DE look.

I just wrote back to your PM on the Bookface! I did that R&D just for you buddy!
Round 3 of our 991.2 Base/S/GTS bolt-on testing is complete. I just got back from the dyno test of the catless bypass pipe from Cargraphic. No wonder the feels like it hits so much harder at 3K RPM. I think that if i had to rank the mods it would be 1.) Cobb 2.) Cargraphic Bypass Pipe 3.) IPD & BMC
As expected, the turbos are maxed up top which is why that stayed relatively the same. On run #2, we lost 10rwhp but hit the 500lb/ft of torque mark. I am however using all of my 1st runs in these comparisons to be as apples to apples as possible.
Nice gains. What we still dont know is how much more power the bypass pipe produces when compared to high flow cats.
Maybe someone with those charts can chime in and compare to this chart..
