XAA - FACTORY INSTALLED AEROKIT CUP

375 - SPORTSEAT, BACKREST SHELL, LEFT
378 - COMBINATION SEAT, RIGHT, ADJUSTABLE

-i don't like how the center console delete makes the dash area look like an old school buick/cadillac, though i know chad did this cuz he's a big dude and his knees hit
-why do you guys pay for suncoast prices on oem parts when sunset sells them for less?
-i actually like the matte plastic (all) interior on your car which is surprising, but i think painting it piano black will also complement your powdercoated black wheels nicely

First..thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it.
Yep...sure have. My first 996 was an open diff model. You have to remember, the only real way to feel the difference is really pushing the car. And, I mean mostly on a track. Because the 911's weight is behind you, the my LSD is setup with a 40% lock. Even motorsports versions have more lockup on braking than during acceleration. The primary reason is the weight adds traction. That is why most Porsches are now manufactured with an open diff. The only current (from the factory) Porsches "911's" with LSD are GT3's and the GT3RS'.
With that said, I noticed a good bit more stability in braking zones, but also a touch more traction on the exits. Whereas my old car would spin an inside tire in a hard transition.
Hope that helps.
Gents,
Thank you for all the compliments. But due to the need to grow my company, I am placing the car for sale. While this is a hard thing to do, it is the right thing to do at this time.

Chad I see you have a booster seat back there is it hard to get your kid out?
I'm on the fence on these seats, I have a 5 year old that drive around in my 911...is it a pain should I just go with the Gt3 sport seats..
