Someone had to try this! 997TT build

I think it could work as well, similar power and size. If the AWD w/viscous center diff could be made to behave (ie. provide some, but not too much front drive) then its viable. I think some play with front to rear tire diameter bias could make it work.

Outstanding build and nice driving. Impressed with the amount of front wheel and tire without RS or cup fender flares. I'm targeting 18x9.5 with 285/30 front and 18x12.5 with 335/30 rear on my 6GT3 but the 295 up front is tempting...just don't want more than -3 front camber because it's dead-on with my 700/900 spring pkg.

Looking good, did you have to use a Durametric Pro to disable the PASM? I'm thinking about going to aftermarket coilovers on my GT3, trying to see how big of a hassle it is.

1) pasm shocks disconnected
2) pasm module disconnected
3) Using durametric - set pasm in gateway to uninstalled

Test with 345 rear tires
We mounted up the 345's on 18x12.5 with more inboard offset. Fender clearance was now good, but the car lost some of it's handling nimbleness, and also seemed to be slow to get into boost from the tall tire gearing impact. When we got home we saw some rubbing evidence on the inner fenders:
Overall that event was not a good result as we were fighting with the car, and the changes made to compensate for the big rears. So we were convinced to return to the 335 rear setup.
Cobb Plano also worked on our tuning on VP c85 with our new decat configuration. The cooling effects of the fuel, and its high octane gas base, make it a strong choice for competition. The numbers may be common place in this forum (600/650), but it is by far the most power I have ever driven. The smoothness and response of this calibration are extremely impressive.
We spent the next event, a mock pro solo at Mineral wells, getting a handle on the new power. What a rush it is to drive now!

E85 calibrations turn these cars into absolute bullets with the right mod combo. The torque can be a bit difficult to manage delicately in the midrange on ethanol, but I guess you've got enough tire it doesn't really matter anyway

It will still light up all the tires pretty hard when the boost comes in, it takes some careful modulation. The 93oct tune was hooked up, the e85 tune just explodes and you need both hands on the wheel
