Type I version yes, type II version no (although it can be manually adjusted I believe).

I want to see me Techart type II pictures myself. I have seen a couple of cars but not in enough detail to part with the crazy high cash.

keep the oem turbo look

porsche designs their bodies in wind tunnels for a reason. to optimize the downforce w/each aerodynamic component

mixing a gt3 wing w/out a gt3 nose is not the best idea when going over 120mph on a track.

for the look, its personal, for function, stick w/the OEM pairings.

Looks good Raiyu!

That GT3RS wing is designed for the 997TT from MaShaw and available through us. We took the construction of their 997GT2 wing base and then added the GT3RS wing blade to it. It has fully functioning ducts to the intakes still. Cant wait to see the rest of the pics!

There's really no need, aeros dont really play a part until you are going 115-125+mph and I dont really hit those speeds on any turns except the uphill esses at watkins glen and VIR so its not going to have a huge impact. As for the straights when I do get to 150 there'll be some more down force in the rear but there's no weight transfer as I'm just driving straight so it wont matter, by the time I hit a turn I'll have braked hard enough that I wont be at a speed where aero will play a difference.

This wont upset the balance, it's mostly just going to have an effect on the drag coefficient and with the turbo even if its adverse its not like it will matter if I lose a little overall power.

i am merely kidding

i just would be concerned mixing and matching parts of a car that alter the OE multi-million dollar aero dynamic research efforts.

either way, i think its unique!

Most of the cars here are street cars, so wind tunnel testing does not matter. If you are hitting 150mph down the back straight of a race track, talk to Al Norton or Tom Kerr here. If Raiyu added a front lip or a GT3 bumper, the difference would be so minimal that at a DE level, he would not be able to notice. Again looks great!
