For GT2 spec you might need the adjustable lower control arms instead of static.... which are quite expensive... https://patrickmotorsports.com/produ...96341986flcpms

He won’t need any of that. GT2 alignment is very mild and can be done with stock parts. If he wants an aggressive track alignment then yes, the split LCAs in the front are needed.

Yes, I have had the GT2 alignment specs since I got the car, I think my car sits a 1/10" higher to accommodate a lip at the office so I don't scrape. Just curious as to how many hours the above noted job should take.

To swap out the two front LCAs would take 1-2hrs tops. Obviously you’d need an alignment afterwards.

Just had a someone approach me on the street downtown when I stopped to pick up a buddy to say, he thought my car is the best sounding sports car he has ever heard, and, that, all cars should sound the same.

Pretty chuffed by that.

definitely interested in what a motec can do on our cars. Also if you don’t mind I would appreciate a cost estimate. All the cars I have seen with motecs are high horsepower cars,

Finally had a Saturday morning to clean the car properly.... So much nicer than being such a dirty girl.

Now, going to take it up the valley so my lady friend can have a helicopter lesson....
