Default Manthey 996.2 GT3 punching above its weight

HI Guys, I haven't been on this forum for a very long time and certainly not since I've owned my 2003 Manthey 996.2 GT3 with K410 kit and short 4.0 final drive. I bought her about a year ago primarily for track use and have had loads of fun with her at various tracks across Europe.the old girl is a star and certainly punches above her weight. Stick a set of slicks on her and its pretty hard for any other road going car to keep up. I've done loads of videos of my time with her. Just recently came back from a couple track days at Dijon Prenois in France where the car was pitted against race cars such as the 997 Cup and Cayman Gt4 and acquitted herself fabulously. If any of you have some time to kill and want to watch a couple of vids you can check out the below: I got loads more on my channel though...

I'm so jealous!
I bet the GT3 section of the forum would also enjoy this.

Oops sorry about that! Forgot there was a GT3 Section. Perhaps if Mods could move this to 996 GT3 section please if more appropriate?

Wow, incredible competition and great cars on the track! With my driving skill and my stock 3.4L, I might just be a touch behind your pace, hahaha!
