Wow!!! You are very lucky. Congratulations on both of your cars. Quick question...do you think it's better to use the 3.6 (vs. the 3.8) for DEs?

Nice.

Why a front plate on a 'track' car? I know VA has front plate reqt's but we put a lot of plugs into that state too.

The 3.6 looks great. Can you describe the tuning you have done to that car? thanks

Wow, that factory aerokit looks fantastic on the 997! BTW, are the exhaust tips on the 997S backwards??? Looks like they are flipped 180 degrees.

Hi:

Would like to see some full shots of the white car in the sun if you have any.

Thanks.

You are correct. The exhaust tips are on as delivered from the factory, but I agree with Dell, they LOOK to be on bassackwards! IMO, they would look better with the larger pipe toward the center of the car. Here is the original pic followed by a pic with the pipes "reversed."

Wow! Much better Tim. They do look goofy the way the factory put them on. Isn't that the way the 996 twin pipes were as well with the larger to the inside???

Isn't that the PSE system set-up? Smaller aux pipe to the inside.

…some answers:

I went with the 3.6 car because it was a “cheap” way to setup a 997 as a tuner…it’s about as fast as the 3.8 car, handles better and stops as well.
The modifications include factory spec. Big Red Brakes, Bilstein PSS9’s, H&R adjustable sway bars, Headers, Mufflers and 200 cell cats, bigger intake, GIAC ECU flash, Kinesis K19’s, factory aero kit, GT3 roll bar and seats, carbon fiber console/shift ****, sport shifter etc…I did everything but the paint and corner balance in my garage.

As for some pictures of the 3.8 car...I’ll post some soon…I hate the tips but that’s what you get with the PSE…I’ll probably swap them out with the OEM S tips but they are installed correctly.
