This lovely white 997 GT2RS is going to see both track and street duty so a few choice Shark Werks modifications are going to help it along nicely. Although the stock suspension harbors some of Porsche's finest components to date, this top of the line banshee still has neoprene bushes on the dog bone ends of its rear links as well as the annoying excentric bolt on the lower arm that changes the toe angle under hard cornering. The fix for that is simple and the same as on any modern 911 with our rear links. For more power (as if it needed it!) we also fine tuned the car for 91 octane with the EVOMSit software.

The carbon hood, wider front wheel arches and carbon side vents can mean only one thing- the GT2RS is here:



Number 267 to be precise:


Yes it's got the red motif going on inside too:


Up on the lift she goes and here we have the business end of the rear. The factory rear links and ends with their softer neoprene ends are designed to have some play/flex/give and the same parts as on most 996 and 997 Carreras.


Off with those factory rear links:


Now with the rear dog bones installed:


There is one difference with the factory GT2RS (and 4.0 RS) rear lower link. The ends are indeed solid although the excentric bolt is still there to turn its ugly bolt head when you don't want it. So on with the RSS Bump steer kit and lock out plates:


Now it's out with the Shark Werks flashing station which is hooked up to the OBDII port:


The EVOMSit performance software is loaded on and not only is there additional power but we've enabled left-foot braking (no more throttle body cut out) and given the throttle more edge to match up more with the factory single mass flywheel:


She's good to go... feels a stronger and smoother than the factory tune on 91 (vs the 93 it was intended for). Next up will be a another set of wheels dedicated for the track:



Who are ya?

 

Drool.....

 

Yes that car... Evil evil thing.

 

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!

 

That car is a masterpiece.

 

Awesome!!!!
But you forgot about the clear side markers buddy!

 

Beautiful and powerful, but if I owned it they would probably end up burying me in it. I could just hear my wife saying "just scoop up what's left and run it all through the crusher...then bury it out back".

Those links are a very smart mod for this particular car. You don't need any extra flex from neoprene with a GT2RS.

 

Sick!!!!

 

hmmm, it's missing something....

 

Don't you have a GT2 thread to be updating Tom? I want to see that thing completed.

 

Thanks!
It's not half bad eh?
Haha on the way! I was out of stock:P
Thanks SLik and you know what it's actually not too bad around town. The traction control takes the fun away though With it off things start to get interesting tho

And yep a few simple inks in the rear and she's more settled/planted

Danke!
Oh is it now:P

Maybe something in Magnesium perhaps?

Just one?

 

Love that car! Great set up.

 

Awesome job. What type of power/torque gains were there with the tune?

 

Is it time to update the sig? Or is it a customer car? Love the car btw!

 

Thanks!
About 50hp and 65tq....
