The 70L tank Cayman has the brake booster from a GT2 street car.
So if you are coming from a street car you understand the characteristics.

One way to ice mode is If you are trigger happy on the brake pedal.

Another is If the track gets hotter or wet, however you can dial in the ABS and correct it.

Typically I start the car off at "3" setting in the dry. And when the tires and track get really hot you can feel the braking zones where you get some of the "ice mode" feed back. Simply dial down to setting "2" for the next lap. Very nice feature.

You can go deep in these cars. And the brakes pads/discs have great life span.

I have been told it is a function of brake line pressure - over 1800 psi is bad. Now I have a warning lights - high ABS at 1500 psi and over brake at 1800 psi. Sort of a training device for me. I have learned to be careful when following a slower car into a corner.

this car won't suffer from that. Differently calibrated system.

It is the nature of the braking system. Street GT2 booster.
The calibration is set for slicks. But if you "stab" the brake pedal incorrectly you can sometimes trigger the ABS. Especially in street cars.
Once you get the feel of the pedal and the threshold of the ABS you can go deep in this car and wont hit the ABS, especially if you have the ABS dial set for the track conditions.

The 100L tank cars get the dual master set up which is more race then street.
It is a much firmer pedal.

Following a slower car in a corner always freaks me out. Especially when they throw the anchor! lol.

It most certainly will. I am not the only one to experience it. Don't get me wrong, I like the car, but I think the street parts and the race parts don't always play nice together.

Just put brand new kicks on the baby. Michelin slicks.

That is correct, the CS ABS is not a full racing system and it will exhibit that "ice" feel if you hit the pedal too hard upon brake application. We have 6 of them in the shop right now, 5 of them the MR Spec, and the upgraded dual master setup is far superior in the MR version than the stock clubsport. You have a brake bias dial and can certainly adjust bias front to rear which is a real plus when dialing in the brakes. I feel the pad compound that comes with these cars is too hard, a softer pad would certainly help.....

I have come into some corners hot and late.... brakes were not there.

Dailed down the ABS selector for next lap and worked like a charm.

You got to use the ABS selector as tires get warmer and track gets hotter.
It is the only way the street car will understand the slicks which is why Porsche had to put it there.

I start off on setting 3 which is my go to setting.
If things get hot and tires get greasy, 2.
If it is cool outside I go up to 4.
Wet will see 5 or more.

Where all of the people who were whining a few months back, saying they would buy a GT4-CS if it weren't for the series commitment?

^ dont you know on RL its mostly just talk, chitty chitty chat chat. crickets when it's money time.
ppl want RS GT4 blah blah, i sold 2 of each msrp. real buyers dont chit chat.

mooty

i would have BGB remotely control that for me.
TOO MUCH work for me, having to turn a ****... turning the steering wheel was already too much.

Spot on... Great car, ice brakes, mixed brakes, all brakes or none at all. Great car and priced very fair. Need to wrap it black! Go stealth and they wont even see you coming! GLWS.

The cars are all sold out now, even the limited edition, upgraded SRO Homologated GT4 version CLubsport and we have 7 of them in our shop. I wish I had more to sell as they are the perfect car for new entries into the racing world, most coming from street GT3's and RS's.

I may have one more Manthey Racing GT4 car left if anyone is interested....we are running them in the Pirelli Drivers Cup next year......the perfect place for them!
