In their website they said that: "The easiest cars to which Racelogic Traction Control can be fitted are those with electronic fuel injection and ABS". With their system you can add a digital adjustable traction control that allow you to choose between 0% or 25% of wheel slippage, wet and dry modes and a launch control mode that it controls the engine revs and wheel speed for perfect starts. And is you that set the revs and wheel slippage.

I think that this is a must for the GT2 and the TT's with RWD system. And the price is below $1000. I'm still debating between a TTS or a GT2, because my biggest concern with the GT2 is the no traction control that it makes only possible to drive it with dry weather. But if this systems works like they said in the GT2, then the TTs is no longer an option. Does anyone experienced their products or something similar in P-cars, specially GT2/GT3?

Well, my first thought is that a GT2 is NOT limited to driving on dry days...there is NO reason you can't drive it everyday in the rain...hell, I never had traction control till I bought my TT and I have had lots of cars with a lot more power than a GT2....

Like Chris said, the GT2 is definately driveable in the rain as long as you know its/your limits. I would not try and do hot laps in it with or without the traction control system you mentioned in the rain. I would not install that in a GT2 because it would take away part of what makes a Gt2 a Gt2.

 

Hmm...

So, if we can graft on a TC system, how much longer before we can get user-configurable PSM-type stability systems as retrofits to non-factory-equipped cars?

I know there were supposedly issues getting PSM to work with the LSD, but there's probably a way around that.

Call me a wussie-pants if you like, but a fully-defeatable PSM system on a 997 GT3 would be nice to have. We're not always 100% focused on our street driving.

 

Wussie-pants.

 

i bought this for my supra but never got around to installing it. there's a large contingent running it on high-hp supras in england (no the best weather) and they constantly rave about the product.

it's unclear if it actually helps an amateur driver on the track.


w/r/t rain - my car drives like absolute s*** in the rain w/ 19s, motons, and 315s. hydroplane city - it can get pretty scary in puddles.

Sportec has TC system specifically designed fro the GT2. However, I suggest buying another car if you're planning to drive in the rain.

 

Unfortunately not everyone has your driving skills. You are definitely in the top of the level of skills. I don´t understand why is so embarrassing talking about a real-time ADJUSTABLE traction control with launch control for a GT2/GT3. I´m not talking about a standard system, but a system that was made for the racing world and it will improve your times on track. You can adjust it to your driving style. If even when the rules allowed, the F1 had it and they improved the times... But outside the tracks, i think that it will be even more useful. I can't the see the point of having a GT2 and then drive it like a S2000: afraid on wet/dry road due to excessive oversteer. This mean not having fun because most of the owners can take that risk.
See this supra with their launch control:

It really is about preference. Nothing to do with level of driving skills. Porsche designed the GT2/GT3 in addition to other models to attract guys like myself and others who likes to control our cars with predictabilities. I personally had Racelogic TC on my old Supra and now AEM traction control on my Viper SRT TT. It does have many advantageous applications if one prefer use it.

 

To those who have had it( the race-logic system) what were the results like?Good ,bad, indifferent? Has anybody used with 2 W/D Porsche? Or 4 W/D ? Results?

 

Sounds like a good idea. Hope you give it a try and let us know what you think.

 

I have a RWD TT and the stock PSM works great in RWD mode. The car has plenty of traction with good tires. I actually get a lot less wheel spin in RWD than I did with the stock nearly worn out P Zeros.

"fully-defeatable PSM system on a 997 GT3 would be nice to have. We're not always 100% focused on our street driving." - I agree 100%. There is no excuse for lack of PSM on GT2 and GT3 cars. The 997 GT3 definitely has PSM.

 

Ari, the 997 GT3 has traction control and not PSM. It can be switched on and off.

 

Got it. I don't understand why it's sooooo difficlut to include a defeatable PSM in all cars....
