1. 19" wheels
2. shorter gearing
3. fitted LWBS seat covers (more to protect the seats - especially when taking in for service)

A version of Sharkwerks' 991 GT3 RS Lightweight exhaust tips for the GT4

Oh, and for the world's top scientist's to make the 991S X51 Powerkit fit the GT4.

1. Shorter 2nd gear (in addition to the existing shorter gear options)

Pretty much everything else I want exists.

Hard to say at this point, I think my list will evolve over time.

Things that Exist that I want so far:
- Shorter 3rd/4th (2nd is totally fine for me)
- 25 more street legal hp
- a more natural exhaust noise (this one sounds contrived to me having lived with an old gt3 for a while)
- rollbar & harnesses (already in the pipe)
- 19" track wheel and tire package (done)
- Aggressive alignment & parts to achieve it (in process)
- A more aggressive diff

Things I wish I could have:
- Less roll (sways or springs) without having to gut the suspension
- 50 Street legal HP
- Centerlocks
- A workable hitch to tow a tire trailer

Hoping that we don't need:
- A cooling solution (250 in winter ambient is a bit worrisome when I'm not really wringing the car out yet)
- Preventative maint parts a-la 997 Mezger (cooling hose hacks, clutch upgrades, etc)


BTW - J/K on the Centerlocks

Shorter second gear option, 20" RE-71R or Rival-S tires or 19" wheels(carbon? ),
tuning to remove the step in the torque curve so it's as strong at low/mid RPMs.

No job so I could be at the track more often.

Better driving skills.

First one should be doable. Second one might take a bit longer. 😄😄😉😄

1. 40-50 "legal" HP, preferably via power kit bolt ons
2. correctly designed harness bar with either carpet kit or no cutting
3. cheaper non-drilled rotor options
