gt2urbo is infamous around these partsgt2urbo is infamous around these parts
My best lap at big willow was when it was on 18 and slicks and it was a 1 29. Which is bad. But my instructor / friend did a 1 24. On r6 hoohoos
On this setup I could only pull a 1 31 19 and street tires.

The rear bumper is from a gt2 rs. It's very light although not cf. It cost around 1900 bucks if I remember correctly. Oem. The conversion cost around 3200 with parts and labor to which to centerlock. Al
Ost went with Porsche motorsport cl but the street cl has more rims to choose from.

Great writup and car switcher. I've always been curious about you guys. And I've had 3 tunes jn my car sofar maybe ur the solution to my problems lol.

Thanks for the kind words. I personally like the cup style Wing more than the stock one

1:29" is moving right along with the program. 1:24" and you are in Cup territory!

Your RS bumper conversion looks amazing. Looks like the european version without the bumperettes?

Conversion really looks good. I had heard that it is not a straight swap, as the RS uses 997.2 intercooler ducting, and there is some trimming and cutting to make the updated bumper fit.

I priced out the carbon fiber exhaust outlets as well. I guess now we know why the GT2RS costs so much more, lol.
