Haha.. most definitely not kept outside. In fact, hasn't seen much besides the inside of my garage lately.

VIN of the crashed car: WP0AC29984S692575

Here's one of the last pics I have of the car. Took it after I washed it following a DE. I didn't realize how well set up that car's suspension was until I drove my new one. Mine's pretty good, that car was incredible. Sometimes I wish I had never driven it b/c now I know there's going to have to be some Motons and a few other goodies down the road.

Thanks and which grey exterior color is it?

Seal grey - that car did have some nice suspension bits!

Since there's a lot of Moton talk and I've never even had a ride in a Moton-equipped car...

Take a stock 6gt3 with only solid rear toe links. Then add Motons and any other suspension upgrades. What's the lap time difference (pick your track)?

Thanks.

LS, SP, TH 2 second tops, but usually 1 sec if that much.

I bet you'd be splitting hairs between revalved/sprung stock bilsteins and motons!

Having owned a moton equipped car in the past (well I still own the car but I took the motons off of it when I stopped tracking it) and having riden in moton equipped GT3's and stock suspension GT3's at the track, my personal observation is that lap times isn't exactly what it's all about.

The feel and confidence you get out of a car on Motons is worth more than the lap time increase in my opinion.

Back on topic of the Grey car...still makes me sad. I tried to sell my 996 to pick it up when Jerry was selling it...then missed out when Todd was selling it because of other life issues. I really really wanted to own that car!

My local track is fairly short and I can run in the 1:16's there with Hoosier R6. When talking to the owner of a local racing team (who ran in the past few Rolex 24hr races), he said Motons wouldn't do much for my lap times, but they'll fix a couple problem areas where I need to back off a bit due to how my car acts as it pitches around on my worn out shocks. Also, it rains in my area. Having adjustable shocks vs fixed will allow me to soften them up when the track is wet.

I don't think so. Motons are definitely faster IF set up right.

I didn't get the PCUSA letter. I got the recall history printout showing no recalls outstanding from Napleton Porsche. It was accepted by RIV.

That's good to know. Considering the 15-20K saving on a US car, I'll be going that route.

*** If anyone has a GT3 or buddy that is considering selling their GT3, please drop me a PM ***
