Thanks Dean, yeah, track was fast this weekend. I pretty much ran consistent 58s with a few 57s. I'm really getting a lot more comfortable with Chris's new set up which with the spring and sway changes is geared towards a lot more understeer and has forced me to really relearn the way I drive the car. Ultimately though, it's much faster and safer. My straight line speeds have not really improved but rather my minimum speed through corners has gone up 2-5mph in most cases. Saturday was gorgeous with temps in the mid 60s and a fairly large turnout with a few new 997tt guys. See you soon Dean!
I'm about to pull the trigger on the same clutch that Dean has. Once that is complete I will be a new 997 on the track ready to lose. I am not speaking for Dean though as his car is much faster (insane) than mine.

Maybe my tire-air pressure will show its true potential!!

Been running 100 octane for two weeks and can say that the car does feel stronger. I will switch back for the next two weeks too confirm this though.
