Can someone tell me if other cars other then 993 and older have full dry sump capability. I see alot of different cars out on the track and it's rare to see cars died from oil starvation. Regards. Mike

NMoore, I have a '02 996 w/ P-Zero's Now, & a Streetable Track 964 that's also used for( sometimes) driving on the street W/ a set of M-Cups 225/ & 265 Rears that are in my opinion much quitier than the Zero's And alot stickier. In fact I will replace the Zero's w/ the "Cups" in the Spring! (Though the " Corsa's" might get a peek) Anyone running these yet?

Bill--Thanks very much. Interesting that you find them quieter than the Pirellis, which are pretty reasonable for noise. Must agree the Corsa has a helluva look, but monster tread blocks like that tend to be very loud.

Can't wait until my Pilot Sports wear out, I have had tremendous fun on the street on R compounds in the past, despite problems with the TAs. Some time back I had the Yoko A008-RS on a modified 300ZX-TT for a year or two, and the grip was just superhuman. Rode like wagon wheels, and obviously you end up steering all the time, but worth it.
