Made the 245 pic a little brighter... not so doom and gloom.

Maybe part of that difference is I'm also on stock suspension, and not coilovers...yet.

But the stock suspension is quite soft, so the harshness from the ride is very likely coming from the R compound tire; when your coil overs go in, and then being able to dial in the compression and rebound, you should be able to effectively remove that harshness with the exception of when you meet potholes which will likely be quite harsh as the sidewalls on the cups are pretty bloody stiff.

Finished up the track prep for the event next Sunday. Swapped in the PFC08/11 brake pads, ran the Garmin Catalyst cord and brought the race tires/wheels up from basement storage and put them on the tire trailer

Heavens, does everyone with a 6TT have/want a Corrado?
I might have another restored one for sale in the fall.

I suspect there's a lot of crossover. My guess is the German manufacturer and era are probably a strong affinity for many 996/996TT owners. I've owned three VWs, the first being a 1995 Jetta VR6.

My problem currently is garage space. I'm "reserving" a spot for a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, and to get that in I'll already need a lift. After that it's storage space, which is in short supply. Maybe it's time for a second garage...
