Guy, what do you have Alois and the boys working on now???

I guess you really do want to beat Adam's Yellowbird!!!

 

Just one word and I'll say it quietly...........

Nardo

 

Here's a picture taken last month with my Black GT2, my friends silver GT2 and Adam's RTurbo and Yellowbird at the beginning of a 2 mile ex-military runway.

I was lucky enough to drive all four cars that day and the Yellowbird was much better than I had expected, just so stable and willing at very high speeds.

Guy that is one sweet lineup and except for the RUF wheels on the Red and Yellow cars they all look stock and I love that..SLEEPERS!

 

Nice!!! That car will be insane with the Nardo engine. You may have to start looking for some race suspension parts to handle all that power.

Is that Rob's (aka Lonman) silver GT2? What mods are on that one?

 

Hamann,

My cars has the Manthey Racing short-shifter (their own design not a B&M copy), Manthey reverse top arms at the front for more negative camber and caster and runs Pirelli Corsa Track Tyres all the time (fun in the wet and cold!). I also removed the front PCCB discs due to continued problems and run cryo-treated GT3 Cup steel rotors. It has the stock bolt-in Clubsport cage for a little extra stiffness and of course retains luxuries like a/c and the satnav (Becker Headunit).

Ideally I'd like to get all the major body panels replaced in carbon and run magnesium wheels, but I'm not sure thats not a little hardcore, so currently I just have the carbon/kevlar hood and the carbon '04 rear spoiler.

The silver GT2 is 100% stock externally, is owned by a friend of mine (not Lonman) and is APP modified (a dutch Porsche racing firm http://www.app-porsche.nl/cust_index.htm ) with a chip/filter/exhaust, as well as having a Michael Roush (German) custom triple-spring set-up, specifically designed for the Nurburgring.

Guy I´ve read your thread where you stated that the yellow bird was the fastest car that day, which is remarcable for such an old car.

How do you compare the Ruf Turbo R 4WD to the other two GT2?

The picture is great.

 

Do you shave those or run them un-shaved from the start? Reason I ask is that I've seen a few pairs have chunking problems on the shoulders when brought up to high temps on track when used un-shaved. Wonder if the shaved ones hold up to abuse better.

 

I always use them as they are ie unshaved, but I only tend to do short sessions when I'm at a track. I haven't had any problems so far.
