My New 996

Well slippery slope continues....Attached you can see pictures of my new 2000 C2 at the sellers house before I bought it...it was nice and clean :-). After doing PSDS and taking my 997.2 to the track here in WA, I decided that I wanted a dedicated car for the track (that is still street legal) Here are the mods the car came with...
- Factory fitted full GT3 Aero kit
- Front Lip
- Cargraphic 18" Racing Wheels (18/8.5 front, and 18/10.5 rears)
- JRZ Double Adjustable Race Suspension
- Brembo Gran Turismo Front Brake Kit
- Brey-Krause Harness Mount
- 5 Point Racing Harnesses
- Recaro Pole Position Racing Seats
- Momo Racing Steering wheel
- Evolution Motorsports V-Flow Air Intake

Things I am thinking to do
- exhaust upgrade
- IMS upgrade
- Roll Bar to replace Harness bar
- Stock steering wheel with Airbag...If anyone wants to swap for my Momos, I can throw in some cash as well.
- lower the car even more and realign for the track
- Maybe new wheels?

So my 911 stable has increased and the wife is not too happy....but I am

Nice! It's amazing how much wider the 997 C4S looks compared to the 996 C2. Quite a difference!

Here is a great pic of my 09 C4S (foreground) next to my yellow beast at the XXX drive Porsche show and shine this weekend. Car behind my Yellow P-car is Seapar's car. Picture was taken by my good friend w00tPORSCHE. He is an awesome photographer.

Also note how much lower my 996 is compared to my 997

It's a good thing this is a track car. I had to raise my car up a bit from the gt3 specs as mine is driven on the streets to prevent scraping the lower lip everywhere. Sort of ironic since I have the gt3 suspension...
