I did a little track time today. The corsas were fine. I had been on either PS2 or Hoosiers. THe corsas are in between. The car is unreal. Can not be happier with the decision to move to the 997.

Give us your first hand comparison of the two cars, I think it would make for interesting reading.

Hard to say since my 996 had a lot of work done. With that:
1: brake later
2: on throttle quicker
3: front does not hunt as much as the 996
4: faster to 140 on straight( I did not push it since first time out and no safety)
5: exhaust note way better
6: Does not matter but the interior in nicer

996GT3 great car has the noise and rattles of a race car. It feels like it is going faster than it really is. THe 997 feels like it is going slower than it really is.

Congratulations! Looks beautifully spec'd.

Corsas are better than the MPSC so good call on keeping them.

I agree the corsas are significantly better than the MPSC's in the wet ...

having watched a GT3 spin not once but twice in one lap in front of me
at the ring last year ... I would never track a car with them in the rain.
