+1. Yuan, did you have any video of our session? Thanks for letting me sample the 4.0! Next time try my 3.8RS. The extra HP in the 4.0RS is not that noticable, but the LACK of HP getting right in the 3.8RS sure was LOL.

I like it, exactly the same just faster.
The car was set up for Juan so handeling was not how I would like it, but that is a matter of adjusting.

I will have to get a ride in a GT2RS before I buy either.
For now I will keep 3.8RS because Erik is stocking / negotiating / selling pumpking and will get my old car from Stephen. 2 identical 3.8RS, this will be fun. Glad I don't have a 4.0 yet, so we can have some fun together. I was concidering some extra TSB updates, but now I'll just copy the old Trakcar.1 :-) This was meant to be

So who is wiring me the funds for the Pumpkin ?. $80K back to stock or $85K with rollbar, Manthey KW clubsport, 2 sets of track rims, 996 GT3 Euro seats (stock 200 mile stock seats included). Car also has 4.0 R&P and Cup Limited slip. Have one interested party at this point but he can't come and see the car until probably Saturday, and I don't want Stephen to change his mind. I even cleaned the rear windshield.

I'd buy it as is, run the crap out of it for a year or 2, then take the clear bra off and detail it.

If you take your time selling it next year or even the year after you still get 85K stock and get 5K for all the aftermarket stuff.

LOL, I rather have an excuse to be slower LOL.

Erik will be enough to hold off. You will miss some fun in 100% identical 3.8RS's
Between Clarke driving RA1's (I think he upped cheating recently with sequential) Randy, Grady (Hoosiers now) and Erik I think it's going to be a battle royales supreme.

Eddie will come straiight for you with his 4.0 beater.

only applicable if you take the exit of T7 like you, Izzone, Erik, the Greek, Trakcar, that is ride hard on the rumble strips on the exit of T7, or beyond them throwing dust to the cars behind like Izzone.

I keep it on the pavement, smooth and easy on the car. A little slower, but plenty safe, no rumble strips at Sebring for me. The DE Cup drivers adore wall kissing and off-roading, me, not so much.

Where are your videos? did you run under 2:25?

I had to get out and check my passenger mirror after a close turn in at T-7......I was positive I scraped the mirror on the stupid tire pile they put there

Here's my video of the brake debacle. Definitely a code brown moment. I think the pad material up front disintegrated at a certain point as I ended up hearing the unpleasant sound of metal on metal shortly there after. Wish I had a foot cam as I'm sure I resembled Fred Flintstone frantically trying to pump the brakes to bring the car down safely.
