oh nothing just having some fun ... i have been running my 996 GT2 at the track and it has been kind of fun to stick my nose all over the 996 cups at local DE events.. been playing with some 997 cups also ... but the sequential shifters and down force gets me in some places... but hell still have my AC and carpet and drove it to a black tie function last week... give me a lil more seat time im sure the car will be where it needs to be only 6 days on track so far ..
You may be beating up on Cups in DE's, but......

Agreed,,,,,,, that's all I will say about that.., I did have a couple of cup cars over the last few years that were easier to drive consistently
right out of the box. Nothing trumps a cup car for all around use
But I can say 2:01s 2:02s VIR full is decent pace for de's with the traffic... But I know its no race car nothing like my old cup ... But on grid I can run my AC.... LOL
Just interesting so many folks told me they can't be driven fast ..
[at=jrgordonsenior;5468673]Safrona's group does a great job with those cars. There's one out here in So Cal driven by a husband/wife team. I instructed her in the car last year and I was impressed by the car's handling and braking for such a heavy car.

I rode in the GT2 yesterday at WSIR as well. I came away with the same impressions...it made short work of the straights, awesome braking, and I couldn't believe how tossed around we got in 8. I never realized how bumpy it is through there...

I drove the 997 GT2 in question at Willow Springs that weekend. I was surprised that the PCCBs needed more heat in them than I gave them for the proper feel and how sensitive the car was to wind in turn eight.
The car is not VJ's.
