Very nice! But where is the carbon bonnet?

+1 on side protection if you r planning to keep the car with these doors.

John

And btw mobonic Porsche didnt add anything to the cage of the 2RS for the 24h. The newer oem cage has the 2 side bars already.

What's the weight gain on two side bars vs the savings on Cup door? Aren't you really just swapping one safety system (door beams and air bags) for another (side bars) or is there still a significant weight saving?

Good job Tom. I don't think I can keep up with you at the track anymore...

Wish you all the best. Be safe and bring back a trophy.

a set of door bars would be no big deal in weight.

the factory doors are heavy. im guessing 100 pounds each.

I would recommend more side protection, perhaps have someone weld a side bar onto the roll cage (exactly what Porsche did when it entered the 2010GT3RS in the 24 NR race).

Im considering getting the new front factory 2010 cage that now includes the additional bar. This is the bar seen in the 24H race. (Semcon manufactured for Porsche)

If this will be a track car (why not you have 2 of them), I suggest:

Replace steering wheel with cup car OMP (18+lbs)
Replace stock exhaust with straight pipes or supercup system (60+lbs)
Install underdrive pulley (if you want to keep AC)(+5HP)

After that is just a matter of gutting the car completely.. then you can take 150+ more pounds out easy.

You can get this car to weigh 2700 lbs pretty quickly

Are the doors for the Targa only, and then back to stock? Do you plan on corner weighing the car after the weight loss? Would love to see the results.

Underdrive pulley is like a light weigh fly wheel.. less mass to rotate...

does not have any effect on ac... ask your local shop or call RSS

Install a side impact bar to the roll bar if you will keep the CUP doors.
