I really believe every 997.2 with PSE absolutely must have a Sharkwerks rear by pass. Stellar quality and service!

Mike,

Have you had the GTS on the track yet? What are your thoughts?

Let see some pics of the goodies you have installed.

It's been to the track but not on the track....LOL....that was a weird Saturday for me. Anyway I will have it on the track in September. I waiting on the Forgeline wheels to arrive in the next couple of weeks.

I'll get some pictures of the interior soon...it's nothing special just the typical RSS roll bar, GT2 Sport Buckets and Schroth harness that we've all seen pictured on these forums many times before.

Your GTS looks great. I was at Monticello a few weeks ago and met a guy in a 996 GT3 that had a ton of work done to his car. He was very quick. He told me he test drove a Carrera S with a PDK built by a race team and said he almost bought it on the spot. Said he loved the PDK on the track.

I had Forgelines on my previous track car, they were great wheels. Good luck with the new ride.

Green Speed Merchants PDK race car? If so that thing is awesome!

PDK on the track and street is very nice....personally I have no other choice for a transmission but Porsche answered my prayers with PDK. I loved it in my 2009 Carrera S and the GTS will be as good too.

Honestly...on the street under 4-5k rpms...no...my numb but dyno says no. I will be able to tell for sure in a few weeks on the track and will report back.

However the GTS is a wide body and for some reason the chassis feels more taut...stiffer than my narrow body Carrera S I had.

Aw thanks mdrums! We ran out again... making batches of 20 at a time but the GTS' are killin' us heh:P For real though I was talking to a fellow RL'er and I really do like the sound of the PSE with the bypass a notch more than the whole Tubi on the DFI. I like the Tubi sound a lot but it's just a bit deeper with the PSE More 993'ish...
