That's tongue in cheek. It's my home made C2S cab. It's got the TT brakes and an even better suspension than the stock TT. So, it's the equivalent (if not a bit better) C2S cab Porsche would offer if it were ever to offer it. I like the narrow body better cause the car is lighter with less drag. This is the non-TT cab I wish Porsche would have made. Heck, given my car is 3300 lbs and a C2 is about 500 lbs lighter than a 3500 TT, a TT cab would probably be 3800 lbs + stock seat weight (my GT3s are much ligher) which is just OBNOXIOUS for a "sports car". People might as well just buy a Z8 if they want a high hp/torque cab and are willing to live with the porker weight of BMW's (Z8 "only" 3500 lbs), MB's (SL55 - over 4k lbs!!!!!!), and Porsche's if make one (3800 to 3900 lbs!!!!!!).

How does it ride on the street. I have experienced stock US, H&R stock shocks and complete euro M030. Can you give a comparision to one of these. Just want some feed back, you guys are my only source. Shop around my home are of no help and I don't know of anyone else thats into mod. their car. I am on my 2nd suspension and second exhaust possibly third! THX....

LOL! I'm back to stock exhaust after trying Fabspeeds and factory sport exhaust :-) First suspension though :-)
The car is in pretty desperate need of alignment (as will always be the case after you lower it), but we didn't finish up the install til 9:00 PM on Friday night and the alignment shop isn't open til Wednesday. While the alignment no doubt has a VERY negative affect on ride quality, it isn't that much stiffer than my stock NON-030 suspension. My "guess" is that when properly aligned it will be NO worse than my previous stock suspension. The spring and shock rates are actually more forgiving in normal street driving than the stock ones. Even as badly as it needs alignment now, it still rides less harsh than a stock new M3 coupe.

Ben,
Why did you remove the Fabspeed exhaust?, I've been thinking about this for my next mod, do tell...
BTW I've got my own problems right now, My 2 year old just put a nice 2ft scratch in my hood!!!!

Sorry to hear about the scratch :-( Though we'd take a scratch in trade for a two year old :-)
The Fabs were too loud for me. Exhaust note and volume is totally subjective though so you're best off demoing it from someone who has it. Put out a request here, on Funcarsonline, and with your local PCA and I'm certain you'll find someone in your area that can give you a listen.
Others have removed them cause they "drone" around highway cruising speed. Again though, it's best to listen yourself cause there are many who LOVE their Fabs.

Of course a scratch can be easily repaired, and it's hard to be mad at my little Geoffrey 
.
Thanks for the tip about the Fabs, I've been leaning towards not modding the exhaust at all. I will take your advice and try to listen to a set. Anyone out there in Houston with some Fabspeeds???

Hi Ben, do you still have the Fabspeed system? Is it for sale?

Thanks Ben. My car aspires to be like yours! Very cool. Have you ever considered wheel spacers? I think they would enhance to look. I think Techart recommends 15mm front and 23mm rear.
