Still would like a GT3.

Definitely done breaking axles...so I may drag race again however never going to do it without upgrading the drivetrain again.

Thanks. GIAC of course! They continue to innovate and develop. The others just copy. They have developed a fuel system (first in the world for 3.8 DI) that is going on next week

Great looking 991... You must be thrilled all the time whenever you look inside your garage.

Haha I do that all the time

I never knew the 997.2 makes more power and rated less.
Don't get rid of that supercharged M3. I've watched those kill vids a million times over

I ended up selling mine for a .1 turbo but mine wasn't anything like yours.
Eager to see what's in store for the 991.

Thanks I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do. I need a track car. The 997.2 is fast but expensive. The M3 would be cheaper. Hmmm......

You're the man. When you had just your M3 with the 650 kit I thought you were the best. Now you're my hero.

Thanks and likewise Happy 2016!

On my car the power difference might not be much, since I'm near the limit of the 997.2 DI motor already with just the minor bolt ons (tune, exhaust, intercoolers, IPD plenum and Y, and meth). The rods on the 997.2 and 991 are thinner than even the Mezger 3.6. So maybe I pick up a few hp top end but GIAC and I really don't want to push the motor much more as the last thing we want is a blown motor. But at least we can test the reliability at a half mile race event.

Where this system will shine is a built motor/ PDK. Even with the stock turbos 700 wheel will be easily achievable.
