some do especially if the track temps are hot, I think the last time I was running 24-26 front and 26-28 rears. depending on the type of track you run you may find much more grip, give it a try I think you maybe surprised.

crazy1323 is infamous around these parts
I would also get a device called a CG lock. It will hold the seatbelt in palce and not let you slide around. I should work great if you don't have a harness. I am not sure where to get them but if you google it you can find one. They are cheap too

Seems like a good product. What I do is recline the seat way back and tug at the belt to lock it. Then I bring the seat back forward untill I can't breathe. Cheap version.

I'm not too worried about sliding around as I fit well in my GT3 seats.

With Pirelli PZero Corsas the ideal HOT pressures for a 996TT are: 2.3 bars front and 2.4 bars rear which are like 33 and 35 psi IIRC.

The Pilot Cups like even lower pressures. But of course it's somehow a matter of personal preference (better handling or better traction.)

btw. I've got the optimal PZero Corsa cold & hot tire pressures for almost any 964, 993 or 996 model if someone's interested...PM me! (I'll be offline quite much starting tomorrow but don't worry)

LOL you obviously wouldnt need the CG lock mechanism with GT3 seats, although if you are using stock seat belts they still might even hold you in better.

I read an article in Roundel BMW mag, they used it on a brand new M3 Competition around the track, and said it helped 100%!!

Learn the track, the lines, turn in , braking points.....and give it only 60 percent your first time out. A buddy started getting aggressive and using a transponder his second time and ended up in the in the dirt with 8k worth of suspension damage.
