^ Cookies alone are worth the trip. I'll be there.

Cookies + Coors Light = Stu Fuel.

There is a perect 996 GT3 non cup for sale.......thats your best bet if you want a dedicated track car. Drive it on Nitto NT01

996 cups are fantastic....but can bite bad. Before you move up to one it must be instinct to catch the car......not a reaction

A reaction is too late for a cup on slicks......you are not there yet

Randy is right...I was faster in my old non-cup....the cup broke loose a couple times sun and then my head wasn't right at all for the rest of the day...when she goes it goes quick, no warning

i have TONS to relearn from years away, and TONS to learn in the cup.

if I have a seat you can ride

You might want to consider determining what your spring rates are on the Cup, and perhaps softening them up while you learn the car... And get a passenger seat for me ASAP!

Whatever the rates are, they are pretty damn stiff I can tell you that.
