Default New Pic of the GT3
Picked up the GT3 from 911 Design and thought I would post a few pics.

Re-gearing and Cup LSD made a huge difference in performance.

Very nice indeed!!

Did you do the design work or was it done by 911 Design? Also is this your set-up or theirs? With reference to gearing, how did you determine the new gearing?

Your car is awesome. So is your driving! Hearing those gears shift through the front straight at SOW was a thrill.

It weighs 2830 no fuel with full interior and air bags. We plan on dropping another 170lbs next week with Cup doors, gut interior and full cage.

Thanks Andrew, I was having a lot of fun. I was really bummed about the brake bias as I know I had a couple of seconds+ remaining in the car but I was unable to brake hard and late as I normally do. I will be at ButtonWillow tomorrow testing the new brakes again.

All of the concept and designs have been a joint effort between myself and Loren Beggs at 911 Design. But, we have had a lot of help from other race shops and suppliers.

Sweet car!
I bet it will be as fast or faster than a standard 997 Cup when you are done.
How much do you expect to have in the car total? PM me if you don't want to post it here.

Of course not. But I expect if he gives me too much info/ideas it could be the cause of my domestic trouble!
