What does it take to make a 997S into a GT3 for the track?

Hey guys,

I just saw this thread. It is worth pointing out that my car was just in a magazine test with a GT3 and it did very well.

The GT3 engine has longer legs and is butterier. The 3.8 (in my case) is much more thick feeling. It's just got soooo much more torque than the GT3s.

If someone's wanting to make an S into a GT3 (I hate that wording... how about this...): If someone's wanting to make an S into a better track car than a GT3, JEllis is right. You should look at my car. And it IS going to be VEEERRY expensive. While a car like mine or 58speedster's are actually quicker around most tracks than a tt or GT3, it's just so much work to get there.

In case you didn't see my other big post, I'm on the verge of making my car into a REAL racecar now. So I will have tons and tons of the parts that you need. OOOORRRR, you can PM me and we can maybe talk about you just taking my car. I might as well throw that out there because I got lassoed into that PM conversation by 2 people yesterday from my post.

Regardless, I've definitely 'been there and done that' and will help all I can. You definitely need the LSD and LWFW for this goal, and it's great that you have GMG there. I've got like 10 things on my car from them. Heck, two months ago my car was there in their shop... and I'm from NC.

Jared
