Default Aero kits?

I keep looking around and seeing all these different aero kits and mix and matches between them just wondering if anyone had pictures of each and could explain them to me. thanks.

Alan, can you talk about how differently your car handles with the aero kit. Do you track your 996?

Oscar,

I can't even sit in the car yet, talk about irritating. Just had spinal fusion surgery so I won't be able to push it until next Spring.

I can say that the X74 suspension along with the GT3 sways is a nice combo on track.

I read somewhere you can't legally run the front spoiler without the rear...........

You read wrong. It is recommended that you get the rear wing to balance out the front spoiler aerodynamically but it is not a legal requirement.

Actually, it is the other way around. Porsche strongly recommends that you do not add a rear wing without the compatable front aero bumper or lip. Adding only the he rear wing will increase the rear downforce, making the front end feel "lighter" and less stable at high speeds.

I picked up a new 911 at the factory in the summer of 85. I had ordered the tail and front lip on the car. However, they forgot to put the front lip on the car. When they were going over the delivery with me we all noticed that the front lip was missing. Bottom line they would not let me leave until they had put the front lip on the car. Their reason, safety.
