Nope, not a PDK. It's got the Aisin 6MT in it, and one of our diffs, of course.

Good luck! I wish you the best! Hopefully Grand Am can keeps their dislike of Porsche from fouling up the series.

Right size tires, ride height, etc,etc...Grand Am will try hard to "equalize" and give the other cars a fair shake...If a Porsche wins they'll start pulling spark plug wires until the other cars can catch up

Thanks for the positive feedback folks. Carlos...yes...it's the 18" but NOT the 295 unfortunately! We shall see what sort of ground she holds. I will be sure to update though.

Mike...unfortunately it's not a 6-speed but we have a few cool things in the works for the PDK Revolution as I'm calling it.

John

Very cool John. The car sounds great! What sort of test day was that? Can you share any lap times?

Mike,

that system is actually an M&M/FVD system that is required for Grand-Am if you run the DFI 997. It will certainly work on your PDK GTS though. What exactly are you looking for?

Hi Cory,

Thanks. We latched onto an exclusive day with another DP. And I can certainly share lap times. We did some 2:00s. We did some 2:06s. We did some 2:14s. Some 1:59s and then some #$&^*(#&^$(*#&$^(*#^&. Sorry bud! You know the drill! Besides, my consulting agreement with your dad is solely related to the 987 platform! Cheers!
