hahaha I know what you mean! But I had an awesome instructor. My favorite was when he said... see if you can keep up with that track prepped 964 and then let me go to work.

Here we are stuck behind a Boxster and biding our time until the passing zone!

The real question is, did you?

 

I dont know how well you know the Streets of Willow but I was able to make time on him through the fish bowl but in the back course he managed to start sneaking away. On the straights I had a little bit more muscle but stayed behind him since ultimately he was doing faster laps than I was.

I have never driven see Streets of Willow, so I can't comment, but I think that if you keep working at it you can do the 997C2S proud by catching him and get the point.

 

Yeah my best time was 1:35 and Gomez was doing about 1:30 in a similar 997S. I need to figure out how to drop about 8 seconds and really get some good times! We were both spanking some of the GT3's and the TT that was on the course with us.

Go get a set of Hoosier R6's and some light weight wheels! They are huge cheater parts.

 

Yeah going to get new tires soon for the track. My E88's are already very light.

Hey Jason, I think that car needed a bigger wing. If the wing was bigger, I'm sure the pass wouldn't have been an issue!

 

hahaha I know what you mean. You should have seen some of the wings on the older 911's!!! They do have a purpose but they are shockingly big sometimes!

i hate to bump a dead thread but I had a very interesting and useful conversation tonight about seats, comfort, weight, and speed around a track. I was asking about taking out my AC and getting some new Seats to get the car lighter...

The guy I was talking to said that if your driver isnt comfortable, then you arent going to be able to go as fast. Keep the car comfortable for the driver and over the long run, you are going to be putting faster laps in!

This is so true! I just installed a cage in my car and now the seat is much closet to the wheel (im 6'3 300lbs!) and I noticed that im much slower overall now because of the uncomfortable seat position.

 

Because they did not get it for its intended purpose. They bought it (perhaps) for its looks and certainly for show.

 

Or perhaps its "purpose" can be viewed as both entertainment and artistic appreciation. Not everything that someone has is used as someone else views it.

 

get what ever you think looks cool. I know your not concerned about lap times. Just get what ever seats feel good to you regardless of weight. Unless your tracking the car the discussion of weight is a waste of time.

 

Old thread -

Well --I did put the entire Gt3 idea off - or at least on very long term wait . It's not that i didn't give it a lot of thought . I did at the time . I called three dealerships , looked at the car . For starters not even one of them had the car with the engine mounts and lift in stock and that set me back but the real dealbreaker came down to price . I refused to pay at or near MSRP for the gt3 and take the loss on my current car(which I happen to like) . In fact the more I thought about the value behind this type of expense .... the less I wanted the Gt3 .

Maybe in a few years .. as I have said many times .. time is al,ways on the side of the buyer and it is never a loss to opt out of the car purchase and save the money if it simply makes no sense .

 

So they can say they have one??
