Show me your stripped out gt3's
I am going to be shedding weight off my car and wanted to see what your guys' gutted cars looked like.
Thanks and happy thanksgiving |
A buddy has a 996 GT3 Speed Yellow without any interior. He had a full cage and track seats put in. He has a little bit of the dash left, and the rest looks like a raw painted shell. I think the total weight savings after a full cage was about 200lbs.

There was one that use to track with my group of guys but he sold it. He took EVERYTHING out of it and put in a full cage. It basically looked like a cup car inside.

A stripped 997GT3 looks like a Lotus Exige ;)
Picked one up this week, very serious fun can be had in that car, can't wait till next year when the tracks are warm again. It's hard to shed weight and retain everyday drive-ability. If you are looking for more power you may have better, cheaper, and easier gains by going with lighter wheels, and lighter rotors (if you arent using ceramics). If you are looking to decrease weight for turns you wont gain much and you'll be doing irreparable work, stripping out carpeting/soundproofing, which will make it a killer to resell. There's always the urge to be faster than the next guy, I'd say just focus on driving. A GT3RS is already a seriously fun track car, if you goto far down this road what you really want is a race car, not a track car. Just keep working with what you got, it'll make you a better driver. When you stop racing others on the track, and realize you are your biggest competition you'll make leaps and bounds in your driving. |
Raiyu... I was in a Lotus Exige last week (on Track) and I have to say it was the best fun I had in a long time... you could thrown the car around like a rag doll, it was so so forgiving. Great little car!

Do a search for posts made by "grussel" he stripped a 997 RS and converted it to a cup car with more power, wider wheels, and a bunch of other cool stuff. He had it up for sale a few months ago.
