Yeah, It was the car @ DFC..... Good question on the wheels weights! I haven't paid much attention to it, as there is no wheel shake. I was thinking of puting some HR springs, Exhaust(because there is little or no sound com past the Turbo's), Also I was thinking of chip as well, I spoke with Courtney already when I had the car out @ Mosport, with 6th gear. What do you guys recommend?

Sweet ride! Don't just do springs. Get a proper set up. Ie PSS10s

Miltek or Europipes for exhaust. No Fabspeed crap

Nice car! Before doing any modifications, I would check with your service advisor and find out what impact this could have on your warranty. None of the mods you're planning are invisible to a Porsche tech.

Welcome, I have to agree with you having only 500hp plus must be boring - you better chip that beast immediately so your car won't be so slow.

See you around - sweet car btw.

Well, yeah...thats a good point! lol however, it is more a long term outlook as most of my free cash went to buying the car! The car does feel a little light @ about 230kph and I thought the springs would be the 1st mod!

'Allegedly' the car feels a little light @ about 230kph. Fixed it for you.

He he, my brother gets work orders that read like this "Customer complains of brake vibration when threshold braking at 240kph in his M5". Ok, better take the car for a test drive and reproduce the complaint before doing any warranty work.
