Agreed, it appears as though the 4.0 rear wing has an increased angle of attack to balance the front winglets ... so any 3.8 RS owner doing this should also order the 4.0 uprights for the rear wing to balance.

boasting about the prowess of your "gurney flap" again eh?

probably best just to pick up a set of the 4.0 uprights ...

kinda scuppers us mere "3" owners from getting some winglets!

I saw this conversion on a car while in Monaco for the '11 F1GP last month. Car was from Italy (as you can see from the plates) and retained the full 997 GT3 interior.





Unfortunately I did not have an opportunity to speak to the owner.

I was there today, the car is getting fitted for bodywork and the big CUP wing was mounted.
Lot's of custom, but OEM looking parts being created!

You left Homestead too early.

The waterpump went bad and Erik got a face full of coolant, we handed him ice towels and water so he only got burned lightly. He did not go blind either, he closed his eyes just in time.

So, just new water pump and whatever else you need to make it tsop puking coolant ;-)

Probably it's Angelo Proietti's car.
He races with cup cars in the Italian Carrera cup and his team (Antonelli Motorsport) prepared this GT3 with factory parts.
