Default Things to do with a Super Charged 996

One of our favorite project 996s has to be this 996 3.4L cab, with F50 brakes, Moton Club Sport Suspension, no exhaust, GT3 seats.. oh and a Super Charger. This car is sort of a litmus test for us Bay Area folks because he tracks it every darn week and it's alive and well... I just got this in my mailbox from him

Made my day! He's one of those guys that's very subtle and understated about his driving but actually _very_ darn good It's neat they managed to get that shot!

BTW, what are F50 brakes? i've been hearing about them. Are they the actual brakes from an F50 ferrari made by brembo, or a nickname for some kind of kit.

Amazing picture. I thought 'cabs' were not allowed on tracks for racing?

That could be the T5 bypass at Thunderhill run in the CW direction.

Does that pic mean that both his front and rear swaybars are too stiff?

Does that picture not look like a "Photoshop job" to anyone? The perspective on the shape of the rear tire does not look right to me - it looks like someone simply worked on the road and shadow under the car in Photoshop to make it look like it's airborne. Also, I think my wheels drop more than that when the car is on jack-stands. Sorry to be a cynical, but that's what I see.

I had them made for my E36 M3. They are Brembo calipers with upgraded Ferrari F50 pistons. Those brakes are intense to say the least.
