Beautiful car and great choice on the avatar.

 

Very nice porsche... the avatar is yuck though.

 

Most excellent choices

 

might check out the village cafe in calabasas tomorrow morning, maybe see some of you so cal guys there. be nice to meet some of you in person.

thanks for the nice comments, enjoy your weekend

 

beautiful car!

 

you are the first other turbo I have seen with those wheels...I think they are redicuLUSTLY good looking...must be why I have them too...

 

My understanding is the PSS9's are not meant to be set-up at GT2 height. You are ridding on the bump stops....that's why it is unstable at 100. Looks great, but I would change that ASAP.

Bob,
Congratulation on your first Porsche....
Welcome to the Porsche family.
Regards,

 

What car? AllI see is your avatar.

 

Wow-very nice ride. Congrats to you.

 

i am going back to stock specs, i would have to agree with you. something just does not feel right. top of list of things to do.

do you guys have any known good set up specs for this suspension?

 

sounds like you track your car quite a bit, whats your opinion on the capabilities of your turbo on road courses? i tracked my m3 alot and will probably bring this car to track soon, luv to hear your input, thanks.

any pics of your car?

Ditto on your find...

Iwent from a 2002 M5 to the 2000 C2 in Nov. 06. I loved my BMW, but it's no match for the P-car.

That sick little voice is already whispering "ECU flash......''

 

Congrats on the car! Enjoy and hold on to your wallet around here!

 

Honestly, if used appropriately and taking advantage of the turbo's accets (unbelievable accelleration and massive grip) in accordance with a serious suspension, the turbo is really a secret weapon...couple things I have learned though...


1.Weight is your biggest issue...the turbo is heavy...no ifs ands or buts...but, you can take out around 150-200lbs by just taking the rear shelf off, replacing the stock seats with something like GT3 seats or likewise (depends on how much comfort you want), replacing certain suspension parts, the wheels (which you probably couldnt have picked better...the profil's are extremely light and strong) and putting a gt2 spoiler on to get rid of the hydrolic lifters for the rear wings...

2.The Turbo's gearing is your best friend...if you find yourself next to a 500 hp ferrari or a 500hp american car(assuming not 500 hp and 2500lbs...hehe) and your in third gear, you can generally walk over whatever is next to you...power is always in LARGE supply thanks to those small kkk16s and that beautiful GT1 style engine...

3.You will make kids cry if you put straight pipes on the turbo...sounds insane...


4.Unfortunately, there are many small parts that need upgrading, like the plastick shift linkage porsche uses, that can get annoying.



Enjoy your car and Heavychevy and Tom Kerr both come to mind about Turbo tracking aswell...they love answering questions!
