Default Two photos of my "lowered" Carrara white GT3

I had the car aligned (and height adjusted) on Friday. Went for a little cruise with the gf today and found a nice driveway so I figured why not take a few shots:

Very nice, Juha.

Anyone know how many white 996 GT3s were made? Don't see them on the road much. Is there a list of numbers from Porsche with color and options?

Hej Juha,

With that last name I presume you are of Finish origin?

Ciao,

J.

960 made for North America. Mine is on the road all the time. Drive north sometime and I'll show you.

Marv, I think Datax was referring to white GT3's when he asked how many were made...

Looks great. I know of one other , so that would make two... I really like that profile picture as it helps me understand the appropriate front/rear ride height...

BTW - did you rotate or use shims?

Thanks,

I did neither, the front is still too high at 120mm (should be 115) and I need more negative camber. I will rotate the struts to achieve both!

Here's some "action" shots of the car while I was taking her sideways yesterday at a practise session.
I know Porsches aren't made for this but I learnt a great deal about handling the car when traction is lost. + I had tons of fun!
