Talking 997 On The Track This Weekend

Just wanted to let you all know I put my new 997 on the track this weekend!!!!!! It was Fantastic...we Ran the full course @ VIR 3.2 mile . The car is unbelievable. It ran very well with heavily modified Corvettes.. handling is superb brakes were fantastic steering and throttle couldn't have been any better. Put them on the track where they belong ! Just thought any Track heads out there might want to know if you have been debating use on the track.
The car out performed my fully prepared 944 Turbo S, wich mine has more horsepower than the 997 but The 997 was faster around the track.

I too had my new car on the Sebring Track this past weekend. My average time in my modified Boxster S has been reduced by 7 seconds in a factory stock 997 S and that is a bunch of time. I know I can shave off another 2-3 seconds when I learn the car better. I could not be happier.
