Yes, but the cup car tranny feels the worst of almost any factory racecar out there. It always feels as if something is about to break.... and occasionally it does.

Also., i think the non-ABS thing doesn't really belong on cars of that size and weight (2600#s). Different story on real lightweight racecars. The 997 non-ABS brakes are just an easy way to burn cash through easy hard to feel lockpups and stupid avoidable incidents.

Changing the master cylinder goes a long way towards improving brake feel.

Inevitable.

Street GT3 is the "gateway drug".

Sooner or later you start getting the jones for a real deal Cup.
That explains why I feel the way I do

If not, then I could well be heading over to the USA to develop the business I am in and will be looking to the many friends I have made on here find me a CUP AND make me feel welcome in a Country my Grandfather flew 23 bombing missions in WW2 for and so I am proud to say I have American blood - and I mean it!
