The 996 GT3 comes with 350mm at the front only, the rear rotors are 330mm (steel) or 350m (PCCB). When you convert the rear rotors to PCCB specs (350mm), the car gains more rear brake-bias while still using the ABS computer from the steel rotors car. One of my frustrations with my car was its ability to lock the front wheels under heavy braking, regardless of the tires chosen, this happens to every 996 GT3. Porsche fixed that on the 997 and I fixed that on my car.

Your info about pricing is good. Indeed, I've used a similar model to determine my $67k asking price. My price include the over $10k on upgrades being left on the car.

Thanks

did you send your car to Fordahl's shop in Seattle?

Yes, I know Dave pretty well. Both of us have been autocrossing for a while. I've run just a few autocrosses with NJ-BMWCCA.

This car is one of the fastest autocross cars in the NorthEast. It won the PCA Zone1 against plenty of cars on slicks, including the 2006 SCCA XP National Champion, It won SCCA Nationals in FPL, and second place in FP by 0.7 secs after two days. FTD at mostly every event it shows up, BMW (NJ/NY), PCA (NJ/NY), SCCA (NJ/NY), MClub.

I worked with Fordahl over the phone to get my car right. He's such a guru on the 996 GT3. He gave me a good baseline for setup, and I got the springs, shocks and drop links from him.

By the way, thanks to Greg I was able to get a Moton shock fixed, that lost the oil due to a loose line, the week before SCCA Nationals. Between Greg and Lex Carlson, made it happen.

Sadly, he didn't go this year to Nationals. Jodi did pretty good in the 944.

We are very lucky to have him here. There are a dozen GT3s in the area and he is the man. He was not around much this year. Between Rolex and ALMS he was on the road.
