Guys, Derek went out of his way to make this group buy possible and let's show him the respect by honoring the fantastic discount (I paid well over $500). There will always be another vendor that will sell the parts cheaper and even at a lost to drive out other competitor but I hope us rennlister are much more than penny counter. I am a strong believer in treating people with respect and honoring our words. I see many advantages getting the parts from Derek. He has direct connection with PMNA and he is local not to mention shipping from Europe now days can be very expensive. If there is defect or fitment issue TRG will take car of it and you do not need to deal with PMNA. I have PMNA account and I deal with them directly and they do not have customer friendly return policy. Once you pay for the parts you bought it.
So back to the Cup cable. They are a must for GT3 that see track duty. I don't know why Porsche's drivetrain design has so much flex that lead to difficult gear change under heavy G load and I had zero gear change issue so far with my 600+ hp Z06. Every time you get stuck between gears you lose valuable lap time not to mention all the damage done to the tranny if you grind and worst yet money shift under distress. When my speed pick up with Cup cable and semi-solid engine mount I still had occasional hang up with gear change. Once I went to solid engine mount + Cup cable then I can change gears with zero issue. Yes, you can wait couple seconds for the gears to find their proper place then shift without the Cup cable .... and I will blast pass you in my Cup or Z06 like if you are standing still

I called everybody on the list, ( except ROBT394, we spoke through P.M.), had to leave messages with most, we had two members drop out so far.
Regardless of how many members stick with this GB i will honor the 10% savings minimum.
Thanks for the support!!

Derek,
I will step up to the plate and take one of those if the discount would go back up to the 10+ level for the other participants - and in case you have them in stock for an order already placed.
I can be emailed at mail@pauloneil.com

Thanks Derek. I really appreciate you going out of your way to save a few $s for other upgrades. Will probably spend those at your shop in NC sometime this fall.

Just got a call from Rob @ PMNA, parts are heading out to me today!!
Rob, unfortunately we are no longer operating at our Mooresville shop, I really miss spending time there, it was a beautiful area!! We are back in our old digs here in Petaluma CA.
