Now if we can talk Porsche into using their new 3.4 V-8 from the ALMS series in the new 997 GT3....WOW!

 

That would Be incredible.

480 hp in a gt3 would be killer at the track

 

I can't wait. holy sh#$%

 

There is no ABS system out there that is as good as a good racing driver who can threshold brake at the limit electronics are quick but not quiet quick enough when a slight modulation of the brake pressure is all that is needed to stop a wheel from locking up.

Also IIRC there were a couple of incidents in the aust 996 cup cars which related to the ABS kicking in when a wheel become unloaded and basically gave the driver a solid pedal but no braking force applied to the wheel (hence missing the corner and hitting a wall) It was a very rare problem but a few drivers spoke about it happening but not always a crash

 

I love the front end on this car.

what is the bicycle brake thing on the shifter..
I never understand why the thing is there, can't they make it more race car like....

 

Not 100% sure, but I think it's to engage reverse.
