New stablemate for my 997

I can now tow it to the track. She's pretty fast.

NICE !

My buddy has been driving one for more than a year (He's the engineer that programs the stability control).

We were up north in Michigan this past Winter,.. on a salt covered road,... with 3 large adults in the car,... and it was still doing 0-60 in 3.5 sec.

Amazing machine.

You got it, no problem! Took the Porsche to Mid Ohio, this weekend. First time on that track. Car did great, just my inexperience knowing the track. Had to gain confidence of the cars capabilities. I basically lapped the whole group, nothing could beat me on the straight a ways (of course I was in the novice group). Even pulled away from a new GT3RS like he was sitting still but he quickly caught me in the turns like I was a turtle. Need to figure the brakes out, not adequate at track for this kind of horsepower. Did fine the whole day until very last lap. Instructor was egging me to go all out, so I blasted the front straight up to about 140mph. Brakes completely failed to slow me down and slid into grass and gravel pit on turn one. Quite embarrassing but learned some valuable lessons. Car is fine just need to check what's wrong with my brakes.
