The 997 GT 3 has more power, wider stance with the same tires as the 996 GT 3 & no ABS brakes....The 997 is definatly harder to drive the next evolution to a race car...We are still working on the set up for the car, I have only been on the car twice so I can give a better feel for the car after Sebring...

Posted this answer before so if repeate - sorry. Doing PCA right now - Sebring has Skip Barber, Audi, and Panoz. I don't have time for that stuff - real job, kids, etc. I have had an IMSA license - but that was back when 962s were the weapon of choice. My "big" racing was vintage stuff - lots of seat time in old 911s. I've seen Sebring change at least 5 times over the past many years. Anyway, I do know this track very well. Will be there in turn 17 Fri. AM thru Sun. Have a Seal Grey 996tt & friends motorhome - call or stop by 7274527929 - best of luck - we'll be cheering !!! Hope to see the rest of you there too ...
