Need a help

Hey there !!! Could you pls help me. I’m in the middle of my decision between

gt2 rs( new) ,gt3 rs (new) , gt3 rs (2016 before restyling) and 911 turbo s ( new).

I did not test them all. Unfortunately it is quite difficult to find one

I have 911 turbo for the last year and now feel a bit more confident on the track and wanted to get something else.

Things I do like in 911 turbo are the engine ( turbo is fast) stability on the track. But I don’t like the seats and breaks.

I’m not professional, but I like driving on the track. No need this car for everyday driving but would love to drive it on the civilian road.

Many thanks for any advise.

A real oligarch in Russia would buy one of each.

May be, however I’m not oligarch, so I have to spend some time here and hopefully it won’t be useless

Finally bought a Durametric and ran the tests - all good - highest ignition range was 3 with only 5 incidents. Great tool to have.

Thanks. I bought them from renndecals.com .

I applied them with the help of a friend. More like a two hour job. The hood and roof was kinda easy but the ducktail was a PITA !

I screwed up the decals on my Revell airplane models from the 1970's, no way I would try a real car.

New York Safety Track. My third time on this track. Loads of fun every time with the group I go with.

I decided to add the Aero Function rear bumper to give my 997 an updated look. It definitely was not plug and play. It comes with all kinds of defects and issues that need to be fixed before paint and installation. Overall I'm very happy with the result and am looking to get new wheels next.

Also, you might want to look into some longer exhaust tips as the exhaust exiting while still under the bumper is going to cover the bottom with blackness. Had the same issue with the Vorsteiner bumper that's on my wife's car since it has the same integrated diffuser look at the bottom. Found some proper diameter stainless tips on eBay that were long enough to come all the way out past that part.
