That's what I forgot. Adam got his car here near me in FL, so I saw the car before Christmas. But when I saw it, I forgot to put on a window banner. ARRGGGHHHH.

Congrats, that's a sweet ride.

Appreciate the mini review as well.

Cheers!

That's almost easy to answer. But not really.
As a daily driver, I'd take the 7 for nav etc., but I'd rather deal with those creature comfort concerns and be in the 3. I think.
As a dual purpose track and street car, it's impossible to ignore the newness of the 7 and the fact it's never going to approach 500hp and it will always weight about 3000lbs. Taking a new $125K car to the track and driving without caution is a rich game.
As a race car again, the 3 can be whatever it wants to be in terms of power and weight but will never likely have the sophistication of the 7.
I really like the balance in the 7 in terms of being excellent on the street but (reportedly) great on the track. With better dampers (PASM isn't winning me over) I think the 997 GT3 will be a hard act to follow. Stir in some RS rear suspension components, add some lightness and it will be the track toy of choice. In my humble.
Time will tell. No sense in drawing profound conclusions after two days. : )

I'm late as usual. Congrats and Nice ride Adam. So can I get a E ticket ride one of these days? I think the GT3 Script would look pretty nice on the sides.

Congrats.

Driver meet is usually around 8:00.
Keep in mind traffic on Monday morning will be congested around Hwy 1 if you take that route.

I plan on putting some paint protection on the wheel arches.
Graphics?
Like Scott's patented side graphics?
No idea. What's available?
The only graphics I need in a hurry is a set of "222" numbers in that 10 inch removable adhesive/static cling plastic stuff or magnetic or whatever.
Is there somewhere in the Bay Area to get car numbers over the counter?
I got some at Wine Country but they didn't have the reusable type.

Happy to show off!

I'll be driving it Friday and Saturday to work up the extra miles before Laguna on Sunday.

I'd enjoy seeing pics of the '95 993 Supercup car in your .sig

Cheers,

ps. My next target is a sunroof delete widebody 993. I want to try one of those 9m 4.0 engines in it ... : )

serioulsy, you MUST take it to LS, i want a ride on track.
my POS car is dead. i have to pick up something btw now and when my next real car shows up. i aint gonna lose 20 track days just b/c my POS car is leaking oil. i wold have picked up something for 1/8, but i didn't know about the "long story" until today that my car will not be ready.

mooty

what is driver's mtg?


make sure you take notes for me.
i will not be there until noon time.
i need to shuttle POS from walnut creek to tony.

Carrera GT

Get a flatbed driver to pick it up, don't waste your day.

ps. You could rent my 996 GT3 ... what's the going rate ... ? : )

pps. The drivers' meeting is where we discuss cars that disappear in clouds of oil smoke and the drivers who bring these junkers to the track ...

mooty

flat bed ppl too slow. i need to car to tony by 7am. so he can get on it fast.

GT3 on MPSC or ps2?
i am willing to rent. name your price.

i see, so i am the TOPIC during the mtg.
thus there is no need for my presence then.

The 996 is on Sport Cups. Alignment is Kussmaul. Drives pretty nicely.

We'd have to charge something like $1000 per rev over-limit tick ... I just had it checked yesterday and no type 2 overs ... amazingly ... : )

Interesting comment. PASM=jacked up Bilsteins and IMO likely cannot emulate a quality shock like a moton, jrz, ohlin etc.

As time marches on, GT3 owners will play with these suspensions, but I thought PASM-ectomy throws all sorts of error codes? Farnbacherloles told me that they reprogram the computer to complete PASMectomy, but since I'm not local I've been wondering how de-PASMing can be done. . .
