Vali Predescu of So Cal won the GTS3 National Finals yesterday at Miller Motorsports Park in Salt Lake City. Vali qualified second behind a 3.6-996, but passed him halfway thru the race. The 996 Spec runs a stock motor & trans with a stock ECU. Here's the Spec for those interested:

In the GTS3 class there were the 2 Porsche 996's, 6 M3's, 3 Mini Coopers, a 3.2-911, and a VW-GTI

Congratulatios to Vali and a great win for 996's over those pesky M3's....

 

Man I would love to get into spec 996 racing - just not in the card$ for me now. Spec e30 seems more plausible.
Congrats to Vali

 

Awsome...

I would love to do that.. but mote likely is Spec Yugo on my budget

 

You guys might be surprised at how reasonable (in Porsche dollars) the entry price is for a 996 Spec car. With donor cars in the low 20's to high teens, you can have a pretty badass race car for ~$40k, maybe less.

 

+ trailer + tow vehicle + significant tire budget

 

Yeah, well I said in Porsche dollars. And besides no one in their right mind adds up the cost of trailer, tow vehicle, tires, brakes, hotel rooms, compensatory kitchen remodel,...

 

That's funny! I had to buy my wife new diamond earrings after I brought the 40th home.

 

you guys are PW'd

I bought my P-car without telling my wife and drove it home on Mothers day no less....

after she flipped me off twice, she even went for a ride, all the time asking "for real?, you bought this?" followed by the repeated "Bullsh^t" comment.....

I wear the pants in my house !!









my wife does seem to have a growing pile of Italian shoes though ????
hahahaha -

sorry OT -

OK.... awe.....spec car budgets.......... mine would be a spec moped <50cc class

 

What about modifications for the oil starvation issues? Wonder if how many people are having issues with it? Anyone know?

 

We have 4, 3.4 cars running out West. We're all using the X51 oil pan successfully to date. I've yet to see any pressure loss in turns but you never know. I will probably install a Accusump in the off-season...

Oh and I don't know if this is significant, but I use 15/50....

 

Funny... My car was compensation for a breast lift (for her, not me)... That's what they call a "win-win-win" situation... and I got it before she could change her mind (about the car...)

Regardless of what your car cost when you bought it, that was the deal of the century.

 

$35-40k is a reliable number (ex- trailer etc.).

 

Nice car David!

 

only if you build it yourself.

a 40k turn key car build by a shop most like is a hack job.
