I can't tell if that's a Carrera or a GT3. The front rotors seem to be more like Carrera size than GT3. I have to say the blacked out Turbo wheels work. Is that an aftermarket rear bumper?

ps. If your post is just an advertisement for renntrack.com, it's easy to sign up to be a site sponsor.

Its a well modded 997S with an actual CF/Kevlar cup rear bumper and one crazy exhaust system!!!

P.S. I have never seen a forum sponsor another forum so I dont see that happening.

Its a 997S with

GT3 RS Aero
GT3 Cup S Carbon Fiber Rear Bumper (Bumperettes deleted)
Custom Full Free Flow Exhaust

Not a GT3 or trying to be... just building my 997s to be a track demon

The rear bumper must be a CUP bumper as CUP "S" bumper would be for wide body 997?

looks great by the way!

TCS you are right...

its differs from a regular GT3 rear bumper as it has and extra flar above the rear air ducts that the non cup cars dont have.

I had it made as a one off from a alms car.

Its made from 100% dry carbon..... since its not a GT3 i wanted it too look a bit different from a oem car.

also all of the aero mods are for track aerodynamic... but they have the added benefit or making the cars look awesome.... which I like too.

lap time were slow that day because I was having too much fun on the skidpad the day before and corded my rear tires ,,, whoops...

so i had to run the 2nd day with loaner goodyear F1 run flats that were too narrow too tall and too hard (300+ treadwear)

so the car was unbalanced and throwing the rear out on every turn in.... but I needed them to get home anyways.

next time i will always take 2 sets of tires to a multiple day event... especially when i will have access to a open skid pad to practice drifting and car control.....

the slow laps time were totally worth the skidpad fun!

So you know the car well, you're running a business and you have no qualms about having photos of that car prominently display your Web site brand on an established (competitor) site without any consideration. What am I missing? Perhaps you've just inadvertently done the wrong thing and need to rethink the post?

Its not my business....
The Photogs that shoot Willow take individual pictures of each car. That is why all these pics have MO's car in them and all my pics have my car in them. There was no way for MO to have pics from the event of his car and not have his banner in them.

If you look at my pics there are some glimpses of some track prepped cars with sponsorship banners all over them.

I imagine (I am not a mind reader) that he just wanted to share some cool pics and is excited about his new mods. I really dont think he is trying to offend anyone and in reality sharing pics like this only enriches the forum.

Thanks Jason.

I was just trying to share my pics with other members.

If the banner on my car bothers you im sorry.

I like some of the others on this forum love sharing their track pics with others.... I hate politics and squabblers and I don't care what site its on just as long as others are enjoying them.

It seems you are the only one bothered and others are enjoying the pics.

Nice shots. Thanks for sharing.
