I remember now, was Sebastiano your instructor? I was dropping him off after he went out with me for a session, I think it was right in front of you

Hey David, I definitely remember your car!! Beautiful!! Jeff, I am trying to remember 988, do you have a pic of the car from outside? Friday was a great day! I have only been on Lightning 3 times now so need to work on reducing coasting and to Jeff's point being able to unwind quicker through 5 but once I cleared traffic I did manage to pull a 1:14.03 I think a good driver could pull another couple of seconds out of my car easily... This was my hot lap, I have my full session uploading now... Funny thing is a year ago I was out on this track in a Macan for my 2nd trackday ever, needless to say, a lot has happened in a year!!!

I am fortunate enough and very very grateful to have had a lot of seat time, some great mentor-ship, advice and professional instruction this year... This was my track vehicle this time last year LOL!! Before you laugh it ran a 1:39 on Thunderbolt!

The Boxster has been a WIP since the day I bought it. The plan was to build it for I class (would be G but PDK) but now I am questioning that... It is the stock 09 S 3.4 Motor, no swap but a lot of bolt-ons.
Powerplant is:
Fabspeed Catless Race headers, Fabspeed Tracktec valved exhaust, Fabspeed ECU Pro-Tune, IPD Competition Plenum, GT2 88mm TB, V Flow Air Filter, BodyMotion PDK cooler.
Brakes/Suspension/Wheels:
GT3 Master Cylinder, SRF, GT3 Brake ducts, Bilstein PSS 9 Coilovers, Pagid RS 29 yellow all the way around, Tarett adjustable droplinks, TPC adjustable rear sway, GT3 adjustable front sway
Then the rest is GT3 seats, Paddle whifter wheel, Schroth Harnesses, pulled the stock top, fit the hardtop, OZ wheels, Hankook Ventus tires, cool suit, AJ Hartman Aero diveplanes countered with a duckbill and of course the Livery. Plus whatever I am totally forgetting right now. And nope, don't work for Grey Goose or affiliated with them in any way, just a big big fan
The plan was always to go Cayman but I absolutely stole the Boxster at such a good price I couldn't help myself...
Thanks again!
BTW, here is my first session in Black First time with extending passing, first time passing in the corners and 3rd time on this track so I was definitely very nervous early but then managed to settle in. Still a LOT to work on but for being pretty darn intimidated I will take it

Thanks Jeff! I know the purists hate the Macan but personally I am so grateful for it because it was my gateway drug to a now full blown Porsche and track addiction!! I also tell people all the time it is the best all around vehicle on the road. Not to many other things that can go out and run 1:39's on Thunderbolt, stop 4000+ pounds lap after lap on stock brakes without ever fading then turn around and tow the Boxster to the track a year later... People can say what they want but it is still every bit Porsche engineered. Launch control and hitting 60 in 4.8 in a crossover is fun too

Impressive machine, and I really like the graphics. My graphics are just stickers I've pasted on over the past year... lame in comparison.
Nice piece of driving right there. Hope to catch up with you at a track in the future.

Ty sir!! Mine are what happen when you sit around after too many shots with a Grey Goose bottle on the table and decide the bottle would look great plastered all over your car! The best ideas always happen when you are drunk, in the shower or on the crapper right
