texasv, if you have Q's, ping me.
I ran MCS in the Viper....loved it....I never thought of that for the Porsche. I hope that the JRZ pro is just as good.

I was gong to wait an fry my stock diff (in about 3-4 events if memory serves me correct) then get the guards diff.

Congrats. Still need to get my rollbar and harnesses in, and then my track season begins...

Has that been the typical experience with these factory LSDs--good for only four events? If so, that's insane. At least there's the improved Guard option.

BTW, just heard a guy say the other day that he was offered $300k for his Z8--nice asset to have.

The last three cars I Club Raced all had Guard diffs and gears. Good upgrade.
