supercup is infamous around these parts
I have a 2003 GT2 and am trying to decide - do I sell it and get a 997 GT3 RS or do I keep it?

I can't decide!

I am on the list for 997GT3RS. I can't wait to strip every extra lb. out of it and drive it on the track! I can't think of a better 997 track car.

I don't know why but it has not caught my interest. I am loving the 996GT2 and it is becomming more track focused! It now rides on a trailer to the track.

We have an 07 997S and it is a great sports car with a great chassis so I am really jazzed about the RS. I think it will be an awesome track car, but it will not put 12+ lengths on a Murci like the GT2 will.

Quite early to say comment on the new GT2. How's the new setup on your 2 working out? I have a new extra set of rear MSC tires if you needed.

So far, very well. The new 16/26 turbos are unreal. It is making so much power and is so responsive. I am very pleased. I was at Buttonwillow Tuesday and the powerband was perfect for the track. We still have a few things to do and it's back to the dyno.

regarding the MPSC's I have a few extra sets, but thanks!

Sounds like a winner. I am surprise that your K16 base would make more power than the K24. Are these Kevin's ZC hybrid TT? What programming did you ended up using for the new turbos?

They make a lot more power. Yes, they are Kevin's custom 16/26 ZC hybrids. Still running EVO stage IV software, but I am working on that.

I can't recall if you're still using OEM clutch?
