It hasn't been touched since, but then again I hadn't bugged him to fix it

The entire suspension is mono ball, cup car dif..car rides like crap on street...need to put back to stock so it's more enjoyable

Problem is all of my extra cash funnels to my race car..street car not a priority

Hopefully have it back on street in next few months

Pressure plate. This is what mine was doing. Pp fixed it. Oh and during the swap firs 40 pp was bad. Brand new Porsche factory part. Engaged off floor. Replace with another, perfect.

22k track miles is insane. Bow down,!!!

22k miles would have destroyed other cars a few times over

The engine is super strong, never had a problem

Did go thru a few trans re-fresh

The pressure plate in it is brand new...same with clutch.

The GT3 was a great learning tool....but it is heavy

When I first drove a light, high HP car I never have had the desire to go back to GT3 other than starbucks runs

I also co drive in a 997.2 cup and 996 cup...ill take an antique for racing enjoyment

Old cars take finesse...or they will break your wallet quick. I have an excellent coach that I work with. First weekend I bought it he handed me a zerox copy of instructions on how to double clutch downshift...I was hard headed and said I was good enough at heel toe....Long story short I learned to double clutch downshift quicker and faster than heel toe

The 915 gearbox is a delight to drive. Mine is an active 5 speed, pretty tricked out

car has a 3.0L NA motor...8200 rpm redline...pretty tricked out

Here is a video from the PCA VIR race...I missed qualifying and had to start at in last place....super fun race

Great video and driving!

Were your seat bolts loose? I've never seen a containment seat move around that much?
