991 CS that I am driving seemes like it will be somewhat like what I expect the 3 to feel like on track. Be in a GT3 997.2 today so throw up a prayer for me that I don't screw up. Learning alot here at psds. report back soon.

I remember you well brother! You set a baseline for me or helped among others to do so in what these cars seemed to be selling for. I will check in with you bc I recall you had revalved shocks and stiffer springs so I'd like to hear how that has been working for you.
At the Porsche Sport Driving School now. Hurley H sat in the 991 CS with me for a session. Boy O Boy you hate to screw up a heel toe when you have someone like him riding shotgun

By all means contact any time. U R correct, I had Dan Jacobs revalve my stock shocks to match the 600F/800R spring package we went with. That with a few other suspension parts that I strategically replaced at the same time made a HUGE difference in my confidence level in the car. He also sent recommended alignment settings respective to DOT street or race tire set ups as well.
With AD08's on and aligned correctly the car is VERY confidence inspiring and IMO for the little out of pocket expense, the car has made big leaps in drivability and outright speed around a lap. Not to mention the car is still very street able in it's current set up.
Before I started spending crazy money on higher spec. Shock and such I wanted to try this approach and make sure the car fit my mission. Well today I can say that Although I can afford a 997.1 or 997.2 GT3 I am. More than content with this car and don't see me getting rid of this car any time soon.
