Hmm.. BGB has been a pro-team for a while. Not sure where you get an idea that they are not. Maybe you meant factory backed team?

 

Absolutely. But, he is now in the business of making other people's cars perform better. What I was really trying to say is he is a guy who knows his stuff and is accessible.

 

I understood it. I took the comment to say that it is unique for a pro team to trickle down so completely in the way that BGB has with their offerings.

 

LMAO, i live very close to rosewood hotel off sandhill road, very high end hooker spot where the venture capitalists seek fun. call me when you here.

 

Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!
What thread did I stuble on...

WTF?! Why you posting this, except for bating all the ring leaders into an epic thread about rosewood hotel hookers and the new Cayman stepchild factory?

This. But many love faster PDK..



The thought that one could spec GT4's with GT3 (RS) engines and / or GT3 (RS) with the choice of light weight regeared manuals or PDK's with LWFW, integrated roll cages and CUP PFC brake systems just gave me heart palpitations. Would I ever be able to call the choice or would I die from the inability to function while frozen in state of indecision?

In driveling paralysis I'd lose my job. My wife would leave me.
Or get both to be able to function. Getting both would be the sensible thing to do

This is what makes this thread epic. It can be done and the obsessive will and ability is there and has been proven

I think you just about to reach stage 3..

LOL

By prep you mean regear, LWFW and cage?

Soo subscribed.

 

To answer your question, OF COURSE! I am accessible because I realized that the world of Pro racing requires you to find new customers every November that have a finite shelf life which is no way for a business to grow, especially when there's another team out there wooing your customers! We made the switch for the very reason of being able to capitalize on the brand and sell our secrets to the public in the form of support, R&D or parts. Why do you guys think I sit here all day long trying to find things that make Cayman owners call us?!??! I want this business! How do we start your idea in motion? Do we organize trips to Sebring and Daytona in October/November/December when you can't drive your GT4 that you waited all summer long for with anticipation? Do we provide an outlet for all your folks whose cars will be buried or deterred from running in cold temps when you can come and do Daytona, Sebring, PBIR, Homestead or Roebling during the winter? Let's have the unofficial 3.8L Cayman clinic right in front of TrackCar at some of our tracks in the southeast!

Matt at Guard has had to be my on-call therapist (pronounced like Sean Connery does) and he has reiterated that the GT4 will increase BGB's business because no single group has spent more time and development trying to take these parts to the next level! He reiterates that food folks like you will want to send us cars or seek us out for setup, engineering knowledge and this is the only thing that has kept me from taking a long walk off a short pier!

I'm all for it! Thumbs up...whatever...when do we start planning? We could even rent PBIR for $5000 for the day across however many members and we could do a full arrive n drive thing and then move onto the next few venues during the winter. Who is bagging what I am raking? Who is picking up what I am putting down?!?

 

Sounds like Mooty has a line on the hookers for that party...

 

He doesn't travel well, we will have to go West..

 

Laguna Seca it is then. I haven't been on track there since I moved out of Berkeley 15 years ago.

 

Last June, I'd go back but for proper testing we need a more challenging track, Road America, Sebring, Thunderhill maybe..
No hookers, but at least there are bars.

 

You'll be surprised…they really neutered parts of it for the motorcycle racers…those guys with the supposed 'giant gonads'.

 

It's starting...and I would venture to say that based on the fact that the 991 GT3 was the most popular DE car at Sebring during the 48 hour, I expect that we will only see more, not less of these!

The problem is that someone will push the price of this auction up and over $110K probably. At the right number, this could make the dream come true!

 

^^ Whatever happened to the 785 engines they replaced?

We need a properly totaled one for the engine.

 

Agreed. We need something where the front bumper and dash tried to come together to have a meeting of the minds. Something like this can be fixed too easily and will therefore drive the price up.

 

OMG. What have I started? There is so much awesome here I don't know where to begin.

- a simple PDK Cayman GT4 swap; it can be done; BGB seems game for any cool project
- a 9A1 GT3 drivetrain swap. Ok, that could be the most awesome car ever.
- a co-sponsored SP Motorsports/ BGB / Guard GT4 Test & Tune, data gathering clinic day with catered food, french pastries and "trophy" girls.

I think I may have just died and gone to heaven. mooty, John T., Trak Car - we must make the third one happen!
