I have NO evidence to the contrary, and I will take David's (and your) word over that of my three hearsay sources. Therefore, we are not dealing with a shop car here. I applaud David's willingness to take what I consider an extraordinary risk with his car. On the other hand, Switzer and company know far more than I about such matters, so apparently the risk is not as great as I thought. Kudos to all involved for pushing the envelop -- David for the financing and backbone, and Switzer for the technical competence -- job well done!.

Drink a beer and read your series of posts an hour later...and I think you'll have a different perspective on how you came across.

It's too bad this thread got derailed. I still enjoy your posts though.

While I admittedly enjoy a spirited debate, my goal is not merely to "stir the pot," but rather, to obtain information and clear up ambiguity. Sometimes I suspect something sideways. Other times, I am genuinely curious or confused. Either way, I seek the truth, and sometimes one must ask tough questions in order to get to the truth!

I applaud you for telling the truth!!!! Your credibility has gone way up in my book.

I am not trying to discredit anyone!!! As I have repeatedly stated, David's prior business partnership with Switzer does not diminish their accomplishments on David's 997TT one iota! That being said, someone may nevertheless consider the prior partnership relevant when evaluating David's praise of Switzer -- one might deem the prior relationship a possible source of bias. Others may disagree. The point is that consumers should have "ALL the facts," so they can decide what is important/relevant and what is not! We should not filter the information. Rather, we should let the 6Speed community make their own, independant determinations, based on their personal opinions as to what matters and what doesn't matter. By telling the truth, you have provided another data point for the 6Speed community to consider. Thank you for that.

Regards,

Craig

You aren't clutchless as of yesterday.....and you could have skipped 1 of those 3 with a bit of patience.

I respect David for spending the money and giving Switzer a reason to push the envelope. I have always supported my local shop and used my own money to build my own cars, yet they where always regarded to as "shop cars". The point if when you do things right the first time (as Jamie Carter knows better than anyone) you get better results right off the bat, with less risk. The 996/997 game is quickly changing, and by this time next year I believe you will see results that you never would have expected in this market.

do you drag race alot, or occasionally? i would think the clutches would hold up as long as you didn't launch frequently.

Well yes...

The Tilton triple carbon is going in as we speak so we will see how that goes...

the tilton triple carbon is in mine now. it has really been abused during this project build, including over 80 dyno pulls and it still feels good. what did you use before?
