Enjoy!
I had a Cup, sold it. An RSR is a lot more money and the maint is off the charts.

Is it really necessary to tell someone what they should have done?

Black carpet?

these carpet pieces are pretty hard to come by...I've been told since August to wait until Jan '08 for another one for my RS...to have incase it is sold and the new owner wants it w/o the roll bar (not likely to happen, but want it for completion, anyway)

I love projects like this. Part of the appeal of PCA/POC racing is seeing the clever combinations racers bring to the track. Freisinger Porsche had a 997 RSR hybrid of sorts on their website. Imagine a 997 with 996 RSR style flares and rear wing. It was different, and I'm sure big $$$, but it was cool.

Good luck and post many updates!

Garrett,

You are the MAN...albeit the CRAZY man.

BTW, John K. just picked up an Exige S as his trainer car when not doing the POC race series in the CUP car.

I am sure you had nothing to do with pimping the sale

Is he going on the 15th? I can't wait to get my lead sled out there!

Grussell,

I love those infinitely adjustable rear sway bars. Looks like you have it on full soft?

How much weight are you saving? What track are you running in the front? Is the rear still stock width?
