Not sure on the first track day yet. I may have an "in" to go to Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow with the Porsche Driving School. There is an event out there and the driving school is there to teach some of us noobs how to do it. They are bringing the driving school cars, but I am definitley bringing this one. We will see.

Awesome! I went from a 996tt to your new additions twin and couldn't be happier.

Couple hints i learned (some the hard way, lol) in case you didn't know already. With pccb's try to replace the pads at 50%. There is a plug in the rear hatch that will open the baffles at all times (sound of driving with sport mode all the time). The car drives markedly better on a track with a track alignment. If you get a track set of wheels, do your best to find a set of 18's that clear the calipers. The sport cups suck and R6's are awesome, IMHO. do not go less than 315 in the rear. If you drive with tc on, you will eat through rear pads. You should get the front grille to protect the radiator. They make a set of rear brake ducts that are worth the money to save the rear pads.

Think that's it for now. Just trying to help. Enjoy the car. It's awesome.

I will soon be joining the DFW GT3 Crew when I move there (Keller?, Southlake?) this July!

BTW, nice car!
