You have essix ap floating rotors on. Good man. Best breaks out there if you don't thermal shock them! they'll last almost 15k-20k miles just on the track, which is impressive.

I can confirm that the T keeps up with the 996.2 GT3 on Charleston Peak Track at Spring Mountain Motor Resort. I had Cup 2s, the gt3 has cup 2's, the gt3 was lowered and had JRZ Suspension and Essix Ap Floating rotors and my T was keeping up quite well.

Well, gents.... I placed my order today. Hoping to see it by September.....

Got a chance to test drive a manual one that just came off the truck. Covers still on the seats. Great drive, even though it was a short test drive. Very engaging.

Now... LWBS or 18 ways.... I sat in a bunch of cars with LWBS and I'm leaning that way, but darnit, the test drive had 18 ways and they are really great. Had the GT steering wheel, too.

LWBS are special and very cool.

That said, for me, I find them uncomfortable on my lower back and not easy to get into and out of. To each his own! Congrats on the order!!! If you're anything like me you'll change your build many times before it locks

TYD says my IGM T left the German port. Two questions: first, does it update location on the water? Right now it's showing the car at the port still. Second, I only received two pictures, not the one showing the complete car, just the painted shell. Will that third picture be sent at some point or am I just getting those two?

Thermal shock. A good way to break your brakes.

18 ways are heavy, move slow, and are overkill compared to 4 ways.

Finally after some seat time, I concur the 4 ways are magic! I had the 14 way “comfort seats” and they don’t hold a candle to the support and comfort of the 4 ways with sportex.

18 ways are absolutely essential if you have any back issues whatsoever​​​​​​, especially on longer drives.

Should add the 997.2 GT3 lap (with A1 sound) for context - about 3.5 secs faster actually:

mine left port in the 19th. No it does not update the location in water. I saw the code and there are no tags for those points.

do you know which ship?

exactly, it would be a bummer to get yourself a brand-new set of brakes for your car, and not do some warm-up laps, and cool-down laps, and crack the rotors on the first track day.
Unfortunately, I have seen a few instances like this, where people's rotors get worn and cracked way too quickly.
This hurts companies that make the aftermarket rotors, as people then complain that their rotors did not hold up "like promised"
I am sure you have seen that a time or two.
