It also sounded the coolest car at the track, a few of us would hang at the end of the straight listening to the burble on the over run. You know its synthetic, but it's still a good sound.......

(like that George )I still love the 993 and it's amazing the comments it still draws. However after owning it for a while now a few more horses would be nice however we all now thats expensive and rather futile. Not sure what I'll do yet.
I need to replace the discs all round before the next trackday and with the weak NZ dollar I'm not sure offshore is the best option. Parts Plus in Wellington are like $320 + gst a rotor. Any suggestions gents?

Trademe ad for the toy shop 993tt says sold.
Low kms 996tt looks nice, the 55k 964 RS "clone" waits for a dance partner..... That used to be a nice car when in the UK, somewhere in transit it's lost some fruit.

Maybe. Maybe not. The GT4 is warrantied for road and track for 3 years. At least you can get out and use it for its intended purpose without worrying about expensive maintenance. The 6.2 GT3 is almost 12 years old. In the next few years most of them will be tucked up in bed and here we go again.
Comparing UK market to NZ is a bit futile. a GT4 there listed at approx. 70k GBP but all sold out. If you want to buy an allocation now would probably cost you 100k. Seems to be the way with all new Porsche GT cars in the UK these days. 6 GT3 60k private. In NZ the GT4 will depreciate from sale not unlike the GT3 & RS before it. horses for courses. If you want a new track toy covered with warranty that will be easy to live with and fun on weekends or as a DD the new car has significant advantages.
Dave. The factory correct wheels are the non staggered lip right?

Did anyone get a photo of the black SC (with the C3.0 badge) at Caffeine and Classics? Was on 16"s running balloons; looked good although can't remember the exact size.
That 993 Turbo must have changed hands every weekend to support the price increases...
Thanks for organising the next track day Paul. Signed up. Looking forward to partaking in two events back to back with no visit to a workshop in between.

Yes, I came across those. I haven't priced them as my interest in bigger / smaller Fuchs rests purely in giving the SC possibly smaller diameter and fatter feet to fill out those notoriously tucked rears - on a budget without concern for performance / weight / originality. That and a third set of 15 x 7's for the T just to get a different look on any other day. The genuine deep sixers are the real deal and would get track days and fast Sundays. Replica's mainly for driveway purving and my favourite passtime of acquiring, refinishing and swapping out wheels.

Willl be interesting to see if demand is still so high straight after the first event.

Fingers crossed my track insurance is sorted by then. The quoted premium is 15% cheaper through Prestigio, however still working on the driver training aspect. No word yet whether 15 track events per year is sufficient experience =8'0

Track insurance? With the Z221 and track insurance I'm convinced we will see a 1.16 from your R John, and I predict after the cocaine effects of that you will never look back :-)
