We used caliper stickers on matts car to find it is very evenly using front and rear brakes. Mine puts all the heat into the fronts for some reason, which is why I need the extra front cooling.

Matt. I remember seeing some tech'y temp stickers on someones car at NITT but couldn't remember who. Should have guessed! Good idea to work out where attention is needed. Can yourself or Matt G share your findings for the GT3?

Only one more year to pay for, which is more than I can say for the P-car obsession. I've driven all three today and there's not one that screams 'sell' when I get behind the wheel.

Mate. That's cause you are doing it all wrong. They never scream sell when you already own them...

Go take the red 997.2 GT3 at CCS out for the day. Im sure I could help you get it for the weekend and book you in on a Ron & Patsy drive. Then see if any of your machines scream "sell". If not then you know your not missing out on anything at all!

Yes, and the rebuilt engine is worse than the Turbo 3.6. Hot oil and 964 leather. Sweet dreams are made of this.
