Manthey GT3

MJSpeed

If you or anyone needs any info on this let me know.

white2abbit

why, do you have a Manthey tuned GT3 yourself?

MJSpeed

I have a great relationship with Manthey.

JAGOLDENBXSTR

Who do you have a relationship with the Old Man or with the Distributor in Flordia?

DanH

Whats the spec on that car? 440?

NJ-GT

That's the MM410 (3.6), based on the street GT3.

Olaf, PSI and Cargraphics have 440-450Hp 3.9 kits available.

They ran the Ring with the MM410 car on 7:41 secs. 2 Secs faster than the 505Hp+ Corvette Z06.

A GT3RS with the MM410 kit, Manthey suspension should be under 7:40

MJSpeed

Not the old man but not the only the distributor. How do you know the distributor?

DanH

Can't see the point in the lower power engine kit on an RS since they all seem to pull c.400 bhp stock. Ring time of 7:40 has been done in the car stock anyway (Matthias Ekblom)

The 440 is meant to be very special though

So given the choice Dan,

Would you rather spend your hard earned on a 440 upgrade, or a new 997 RS ????????? (before spec is announced)

It's not the same $$$...

I have spoken the distributor at Alegra Motorsports several times on the phone while I am trying to decide whether or not to purchase from him a power kit for my Boxster S from Manthey. The only reason I asked was b/c I have been trying to get a feel as to whether or not they do good work, I heard about him from some friends but I was told this is a good place to possibly find out. I you want the specs I have posted them in the Boxster/S forum.

Manthey have been selected to run the Porsche Junior race team by PAG. Is this good enough for you?
As a German resident, I respect several tuners work, including Ruf, TechArt, Manthey, TTP and RS. However, a good tuner in Germany is not the same thing as a good agent in the US. I look for a tuner that has a proper engine brake, not just a chassis dyno, that has an intimate relationship with the factory, that has a track record and that I can have a proper relationship with.

Neither. Rather spend it learning to drive! (although I'm most interested in a new house at the moment.)

In honesty I think the RS is more than fast enough for trackdays. The only thing that would make a 997 tempting is if they can miraculously sort the handling so that it is brilliant both on and off track. I suspect they can't however.

RS is likely cheaper when considering resale value, no ?? i know which one i would take for the $$ ...
