So do you think a 996TT build (in the same class) is a total waste of time?

XPC5

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.

I'll just fill the center diff with really thin, really slippery oil!

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.

XPC5

The 285 will be fine up front, and a great improvement. In the A7s the size difference is very small between 285/295, at least for width. I plan to try the 285 as it will let me lower the front a bit more.

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.

XPC5

This is what worked with Durametric Pro:

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

Would it be the same in reverse after retrofitting PASM to a non-PASM car?

XPC5

It may work if all the wiring and modules are in place (or spoofed)

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!

sjfehr

Damn, that moves! Rare to see a car with that much power put it to ground so well.

XPC5

I feel that will be the strongest point of this car. All of the other SSP cars have big power, but we will have a traction advantage.

New 'War Paint'
The numbers will eventually be in a DTM style plate, but wanted to get the stripe and Cobb logos in place.

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

XPC5

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
