There is nothing quite as sexy as shiny new underpinnings What a shame that it's got to be hidden.

The Bling will help me keep up with 997.1 & .2 GT3s.

Montreal chapter should travel further afield to Calabogie more often and Watkins Glen.

Chris R, the GT2 plan is still on as long as I can figure out how to not get a divorce because of it!

Chris M, nice looking suspension I hope that you remember to corner balance the car with balast in the drivers seat!

Rene you NEED the GT2 RS. I saw 7 of them at the factory in Sept. Red looks best followed by white and black.

You NEED it. Your wife will understand when you come with it.

Chris M, how much time do you think you can gain with the Motons and LSD?

Should be a little better than a 997 GT3/RS /.1 We'll see. I hope I can hang with 997 GT3 .2. Cornering should be much more composed.

The biggest difference I found with a functioning LSD was stability under hard, downhill braking. The tail doesn't wag anymore. It's rock solid. Powering out of the corner is much better too.
I'd do that before exhaust in a heartbeat.

997 GT3 RS .2 has more power, revised suspension and better gearing. Equal driver it should pull away as the suspension is better than 996 & 997 GT3/RS .1. Jim in his 997 GT3 RS .2 is as fast as Bruce's 996 GT3 Cup. Sick huh?

Motons and lack of rubber should help a lot. With revised gearing Perry was a 2:10 at Calabogie. Bruce in stock 996 GT3 was 2:17. Big difference. Perry's shocks were revalved Bilsteins. Not 2 Way adjustable Motons with 15 ranges of adjustment on rebound and compression. He also had a Cup gearbox though. Mine is stock.

I'm trying to keep the car interesting. I love the car but the stock suspension is too soft. Now it should be much better although street driving will suck. Now I can run slicks if I so choose. That's 2-3 sec. a lap.

Next is R&P and revised gearing.

I'm excited to try it out in April.
You gotta go to the Glen. You'd love it.

Chris R.
Thanks for th effor I have to be at the office for 6:00 every morning, so just make sure breakfeast is ready for me before I leave.

Chris M.

I wanted to do the same to my car I still might eventually, but I'll wait to see what you end up with on your car and go from there, if you will be able to keep up with the 997.2 rs's I'm doing the same to my car
Best

Chris R., what is the status of your car now? How stock or not is it?

My car is 100% stock apart from the toe links that I got (thanks dad!) and a BMC filter that was in the airbox when i bought it.

For comparison, in my Cayman S at Calabogie, I can turn a 2:22 in MPSC's. At tremblant I was running 1:53's best time but more consistent in the 1:54 range. My first day out in the GT3 I was running low 1:51's. If I can break into the high 1:48's I'll be happy with that.
