Green? You'll "never" be able to resell it! Nobody would want such a color.

Was a coin toss between the Orange and Black....Heads up....Orange...I can change the color if I want...still having second thoughts...

BTW.Black wheels, with black tinted windows with an orange lip (like my CGT wheels..I am having the calipers painted to match the body color), I think will be the ticket on the orange GT3rs..

I have been talking with Todd at Protomotive and I am considering sending him the car to add a pair of GT40R's...

Now THAT is an idea . Why try converting a turbo to GT3RS heads when you can turbo a Wide Body GT3RS? THAT just might be the killer combo, even better than a GT2?

I suppose if you were crazy enough (as we all know you are) you could put lower compression pistons in....

Well I have to say you are really onto something.

Which crank do you plan on using? GT3RS, Turbo or GT2? ..and are they any different?

..and factory Turbo/GT2 pistons or after market?

We already know the block is similar if not identical. You may be doctor Frankenstein, but you make playboy playmates with UFC credentials.

Let me sum up all the potential goodies:

1. GT3RS
2. 8500 RPM and maybe more?
3. Weight
4. Wide Body
5. Suspension
6. RWD
7. Turbo

I don't think you can ask for a better 911. Period.

You know we're nuts! It's entirely insane to have plans this in depth for a car this bad *** as-is. Why doesn't the factory spec the GT2 or GT2RS with these same exact specs? That additional 2,000 RPM is the nail in the coffin for anything lining up against you and I am betting will help the launch on these notoriously short shifting cars.

Sharky, sorry for the hijack bro... I think the GT3RS is the ultimate incarnation of the normally aspirated 911.

Alex, it sounds like you must be considering the Stage 12 upgrade path also! Since Markski's creation was born, you can fix this!

When did your dealer call you? I'm supposed to be the first at my dealer and have not gotten a call yet.
