[PICS] 997 gt3 super light
I was at the high plains raceway for the weekend with the porsche club and saw this amazing GT3 and thought about sharing some pix with you guys.
mod:
18'' CCW wheels
toyo tires
steering wheel
K&N air intake
straight pipe
GT3 seats
GT3RS wing
the whole interior stripped out
I'M SURE I HAVE MISSED SOMETHING
lb400 saved
hope you guys like it

How did it sound with the straight pipes?
It appears that the car still has the stock glass rear window - you would think if he went to all that effort to strip out the interior+sound deadening he would have upgraded to the RS polycarbonate rear window.
I like the harness bar Vs the having the full rear roll bar - probably saves around 35 lbs - who has time to think about safety when there is weight to be saved.

I was once told by a Porsche mechanic that simply removing the carpeting would trim about 100lbs from the car. Don't know how true it is, but it makes sense. I would have tossed the radio as well tho.

I agree that it is a nice bar though.

+1...perfect recipe for turning a walk away roll over into a fatality just to save a few pounds...strapped in nice and tight to a GT3 seat...absolute lunacy IMO...go on a diet and get the rollcage

Agreed................. You want some sort of roll bar/ half cage.
What is your life worth? for .5 seconds..........
Take a look at our projects page there are several GT3's and RS's with our various versions of our roll bars/ half cages.
For more info on roll bars and half cages go to

I found it here. Seems like a 25hp boost. Check out the dyno chart link.
