New 996 GT2 owner here!

Hey everyone!

I thought I would make a little introduction thread for my new beast I just picked up. I bought it locally here in Montreal about 2 month ago and I've been in love ever since.

So ya, just joined the forums now even though I've been lurking for about a year. Anyways, enough talking, here are some pics of my new ride!

Actually yes. I really want to do an exhaust mod soon, but as of right now I'm working with a local company (they're using my car as their tester) to develop a sick shifter kit. I do a lot of lapping (PCOA, Club Tremblant etc) and I would really like to have something more agressive in terms of feel for my shifter. I owned a full race prepped E30 M3 before the GT2, and it have a huge shifter setup with a dog box. Now I know I can't get the dog box feeling with a normal 6 speed tranny, but I'm trying to get as close as possible.

Anyways, I'll be making a thread about the development of the part their making for me soon...it's pretty sweet.

NICE!!! Welcome to a very exclusive Club.... I have always LOVED Porsches in red and I think your GT2 looks amazing.

Let us know how the modifications go and tell us what your driving experience in the Car feels like.

Like you, I track my GT2 a ton and have worked really hard on getting it set up for Laguna Seca and other local tracks in Northern CA. If you want, I can share some of what I have learned...

Cheers...

Nice, this is in Napierville? Nice to know someone else on the board from Quebec.

J'ai reconnu la trac de Napierville avant de réaliser que tu était du Québec.

Let me know if you need some help sometime, i am getting good with these cars.
