I noticed you have the motorsport friendly version of each make.... very nice, very nice indeed. You have great taste.

Now, why is it only now you are on Rennlist?

Thanks. I have driven alot of Porsches over the years on the street, but never really cared for them until I drove my buddy's '07 GT3. I have driven a alot of fast Turbos, GT2s and even CGT. The GT3 has been in my mind for a couple of years. I picked up my RS in early March and drove it around a bit on the street, back roads ect. I have taken it to MSR houston and TWS so far. I really like it and want to learn how to drive it. After racing 600+hp ZO6's for years, I was afraid the RS wasn't fast enough for me but after drving it, it's a blast. My 430 Challenge car is so damn easy to drive, I pretty much had that car down after one test weekend. For me, driving the RS takes alot of finesse and restraint on my part, completely different from what I am used to

Rennlist is the best place that I have found that has alot of real track guys that actually run their cars and has great info.

I own a different variety of cars from a 1500hp twin-turbo Lambo to a '71 Pro-Touring Camaro w/ a dry sump LS7, I love all cars and happy to be on this forum but please excuse some of my dumb questions about my Porsche..

This is definitely true. I like you have owned and driven a lot of crazy cars, but I can't honestly say the GT3 is the first car that I don't see myself ever selling. They're tame on the streets but a blast to try and get figured out at the limits, given your driving history though I'm sure it won't take long and you'll be shopping for a 4.0 LOL.

I'm hoping to get Joshua to bring his Supra out to TX one year, that thing deserves to have it's legs stretched in front of everyone after years of sorting it out. I'm sure out rig will be full with Neros full race toys or I'd bring by 3.

Sounds like fun, I am actually looking at another Supra but don't tell anyone..

Streetking welcome aboard. This forum is a serious wealth of information.

GT3 suspension is essentially same as cup. I think Cups have different toe links and possibly lower rear controls arms. But the rest is the same.

Welcome SW, glad to see you hear.

i had a 94 Supra turbo back in 90's and loved it.
If it was the hard top i would have kept it as they are great performers with lots of potential.

Dumb questions? Sure when i first joined rennlist i was trying to figure out how to put a 996 Cup car on the street.....

I bet that pro-tour camaro is a treat. Im currently building a pro tour 69 camaro with a ZL1 crate engine. I have a soft spot for the old muscle...

onelove

You mean there are still a few out there now that you haven't owned yet LOL, I'm going to bet it's probably a certain low mileage white hardtop but could be wrong.

Streetking

Ya, I had 2 hardtops, a white one and a black one. The black one went 246 mph in the mile and 7.91@189 in the 1/4 mile..

My Camaro should be done this week, been working on it for a year..Every part on it is from DSE. DSE has buit 2 cars for me, we built the '71 here.




My '69 at SEMA



Maybe

I wanted to try V710's in the worst way this year but chickened out, reported to last longer than Hoosier but have almost all of the pace. Problem is longevity reports were all over the map. Some claim 40 heat cycles, others claim 16-20. Both from credible sources. I'm good with them lasting 35-40 heat cycles, if they last 20 heat cycles that blows my tire budget out of the water esp considering they'are already $500 a set more than the Nitto's I'm running now.

That 315/35 is REALLY tall too..26.4", not sure if that works on the 997's but it won't on the 996 cars we have to run the 305 rear.

NItto just needs to release a proper rear for you guys and you'll be set, it really is the ultimate DE tire, not great for lap times, but good enough pace and great life.
