Well cant wait to try the new 997 gt3 on track tomorrow... we are running the full course at VIR I hit the brak in milage just as i got to the track today!! so tomorrow should be an eventful day.... i came down last 3 miles to track on a country road just opening the car up for the first time ...OMG intoxicating!!!!!!

i will fill you all in on my opinions of it tomorrow.... i will still be running cup car but im sure the 997 will go around the track several times!!!!

 

What's it, like 30 degrees? You de man!

 

Matt, I'm looking forward for the obvious: 997 GT3 vs. 996 GT3 vs. 997 TT vs. 996 Cup (with times and videos)

 

nj gt i would expect you would ask for nothing lesS!!!!!


AND ITS 24 DEGREES!!!!!!!!! but will hit 46

 

Matt, I'll be up at Synergy later today dropping of my car for setup. I'll see if I can't catch any of y'all down in the paddock. I think Chris is up there this weekend as well.

 

Sorry... but I am not a big fan of freezing my butt off. Currently 21 degrees but with the wind chill it will never feel above about 38 today.

No thanks.

I just can never get the car to feel right at this temp but I do look forward to Matt's report.

 

Chris, did you stay home?

 

I did my friend. As much as I wanted to run I just can't make myself get out when it is this cold at the track. Both the car and I just don't seem to get up to speed.

Talked to Greg last Wednesday. He had to order some springs for me and they were not to get there until yesterday so the car probably would not have been ready either way. Also, trailer not getting here until Monday or Tuesday.

Greg is going to store the car for me there until I run March 3/4.

Please tell him I said hello and have fun taking your car up there. Please let Matt know we want info.

 

What type of grip can you get at that temp? I would be suffering from severe "shrinkage"

 

Not sure what grip he is getting, but I just got back from VIR and clocked a few laps of Matt flying around at a nice 2:05 pace. Sounds like plenty of grip. However, I have to say, I have seen Matt routinely turning consistent 2:02's.

 

This was in his Cup car and not the 997 GT3 right?

Matt, please report om the 997GT3!

 

I know he ran his street GT3 this morning before I got there but he was running the cup with the times quoted.

Matt (E) I figured you'd be up (rather down) there today???

 

So as not to get Dell check your email.

 

Got it.

 

I'm not a member yet, but I was invited to go as a guest - just couldn't make it work for this weekend.
I am getting the Cup car ready for next month and also awaiting my 997. I will bring both cars to the Zone 2 event. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
My wife and I are going to Tahiti/Bora Bora the very next week after the Zone 2 event, but I am much more excited about the track than Bora Bora! (Just don't tell my wife that )
