2003 cup cars went with the 996.332.981.9C LSD pack, which is not suitable for us, as it's too aggressive.
Orbit tells me they put in my car the same as the CUP cars. It was too aggressive (Fast though!) but then he backed it off a bit and the car feels perfect to me.

AWESOME big congrats. The light really changes the color of the grey stripes a lot on camera.

Exciting anything that stands out in person over the pics?

The stripes are silver I think.
I can't check at the moment
The car has gone back to Porsche while I'm
on holiday so interested parties can inspect it.

Shane, does everything else mean side mufflers, center muffler and tips or did you do center muffler and tips only. Would be anxious to hear sound clip of exhaust and your impressions of same. Tips look great and really complement the car.
