State of the art mod to ensure you finish first

I imported my .1 GT3 to Canada last month, and we had a great spell of spring weather. Unfortunately, today things went backwards. Then it occurred to me ... I knew there was one mod I had to have to stay competitive in the Great White North. No, not competitive... I wanted to ensure I finished first EVERY TIME. I created a mod that's sure to clear a path to the finish line and eliminate the competition.

The Super Sports handled well in the wet when the car was delivered. This now allows them to perform even better when the going gets tricky with early spring track days...

I know. You say this isn't anything new...

This is a fine first attempt. However, my extensive research has shown that the light bar setup, with its inherent drag (and downright ugliness) combined with a 944 pusher, is an ineffective track weapon.

Some, but not all, of the added bonuses of my setup include:
1. Increased downforce and weight bias to the front of the car, minimizing trailing throttle oversteer and allowing the power to be put down that much sooner than the competition.
2. Less wear and tear on the cup lip, especially in street applications.
3. More public and LEO attention than any other Porsche owner.

NOTE: Mod not recommended for southern climes.

If there is intense interest, I may consider group buy pricing...

Madness is z06801 trying to plow uphill without my unique setup...
I'm considering throwing in a free set of chains with my group buy offer.

I'm just worried it might throw off my corner balancing That day I got caught out, made it about half way up then almost slid into that pile of snow and ice.

Aha! I knew I was onto something with the chains offer. Cup tires and the white stuff = bad combination
