I'm fairly new to the forums, so what a great way to introduce myself.
True Story.
1) Less than two weeks ago I buy a 996 Pcar on a Wednesday after the PPI at a shop. Go over car fully brakes/suspension check-out that weekend.
2) Then 1 week of feeling out handling comfort zone of the awesome slightly understeer very neutral AWD in the Porshce 996 ( 3rd gear is a dream on twisty canyon roads ) Front end doesn't wash out it pulls right through any corner with no hit of over steer.
3) After 10 days ownership, took it on an out-of-state 550 mile road trip to Portland International Raceway on a gorgeous Pacific Northwest Day. Flogged on it finding it's limits. The PSM (Porsche stability management) system was nice to have some times when I over-cooked it too hot into a corner.
A full DE / Lapping day event. Between 5 sessions in my car for novice class, and another 5 twenty minute sessions in Jeff's advance class race prepp'ed early 911, I got in a total of around 200 minutes of track time that day.
I called it our honeymoon together, the car and I bonding. My ribs are still sore from Jeff's 5 point harness's. My seat conforms well to my butt now.
I LOVE the AWD and C4S wide body.
Squeal for me tires, Ah said SQUEAL. what a good track day. She's a keeper after two weeks of ownership.
Here's a short entertaining 3 minute video of some little Carreras playing around on the track. Note the 100 foot braking markers at the end of the straights and how fast they come up.......Brakes = Good.

[QUOTE=NYoutftr;4424761]Nice, what front splitter is that?
David
Thanks. It's from GT3 TEK. Good quality and good fit for an aftermarket part. It did require a few additional fasteners in addition to the supplied attachment method, but I didn't mind since it's a track car.

Thanks. So it is a regular front bumper cover with the gtek splitter?
I have the Aero/GT3 bumper and looking to get a front splitter that is not too low.
Some mfg say splitter is same fit, Aero/GT3 and regular bumper,
Other mfg say they are not interchangeable.

The front splitter/spoiler fitment was for my stock front bumper cover ('02 996 C2). Hope that helps.
