May be the way to go is to look for a 99 without PMS, but IMS/Clutch/etc. update and build in to a DE car myself.

Unfortunately, I am not in a market for a caged car, and since I plan to register the car, I need one that passes emission, and want A/C. May be I am describing a pink elephant! Otherwise, I'll be talking to you about a build.

Oh, and a LNE/Raby 3.8 conversion Track Performer II package including the IMS Solution with further upgraded pistons and a 2qt deep sump and X51 baffles, Fabspeed headers, cat bypass x-pipe, and Maxflo mufflers.

No, not a pink elephant - you are describing my car. 1999 C2 with Full suspension package (Tarett, Ohlins, Elephant Racing), RSS roll bar (not cage), OMP seats and harnesses, lightened interior but not totally stripped, OS Gikken LSD, and still has wonderfully working AC!

I've had the wheels painted black subsequent to this photo.
My 03 C2 has PSM and a switch to deactivate it.
It is my DD. I bought it as a CPO in '06. It has 66K miles so far. I've done the IMS thing (twice thanks to dooshbag local indy) and some suspension bits. Upgrades include Recaros and a Gemballa exhaust
I've tracked it, but not since the GT3 joined the fleet
It was not chosen as an investment which is good as the value might be 50% of what I paid in 2006.
I love it and will keep driving it as long as it is willing & able.

FWIW, there's a very well setup spec 996 for sale on the rennlist marketplace right now. No ac, and you'd have to probably fix the emissions. But it looks to be a fully prepped car with the right safety in mind https://rennlist.com/forums/vehicle-...-race-car.html

Is the difference that PSM is an electronic "traction control" which uses E-gas and ABS to control wheel spin, while TC and ABD use only LSD to mechanically keep single rear wheel from loosing traction?
BTW, thanks for all the information and PMs with helpful hints about various areas like that need attention in 996 (i.e. a 3rd radiator for track use). My goal in starting this thread has been to learn about 996 moded for DE use, rather than troll for cars FS, as I have been chided in a PM (no worries though). There are a lot more Caymans at DE or PCA club races than early 996.

Thanks for the link. I have seen that car, but my experience is that "un-racing" a race car is not worth the effort. Otherwise, I would do that with our 993.

I do like that SP996. Throw a set of Pirelli DH scrubs on it and it will outrun most GT3's.

I have done a search, but do not find anything about ABD. What is it?
