Question GT3 Front End On A C2/C2S

Has anyone that added a GT3 front end, notice any improved handling/steering feel difference [Above 50 mph and or in windy conditions]?

Only at CalSpeedway Roval, but that was at 150 mph entering the first banked turn

Seriously, it makes no difference at all at non-racing speeds. It looks hella nice tho.

Adding a rear (fixed) wing will do more for handling at +75 mph. There are several race teams that run only rear wings and stock front bumpers....

I'm on my 24th vehicle since I was sixteen.

This is my first rear engine, rear wheel drive vehicle.

The steering feel is excellent, but I do notice the effect of having a light front end.

I thought that maybe a GT3/GT3RS/GT2 front end, offered a different feel at highway speeds and or in windy conditions.

I know what your are refering to, I lowered the suspension on my first 997 with Techart Springs, this 997 I went Bilstein. Both make the car's steering more solid feeling and reduce the lightness in the steering wheel.

I think it changes the airflow enough to make a difference.
