Very nice review!! Do you have any suspension mods or coilovers?

 

Funny you should ask How about all of these links/bushings for starters plus a TC Design alignment

I had a great drive up the coast last night. The combination of the RSS/SW soild links/bushings, Tony's "secret" alignment and the new Pirellies is, simply put, awsome!! it's taken awhile put the car is now sorted to perfection for me, these roads and my driving style. have I said how much I love the Corsa system compared too the MPSC"S??

 

I've got some catching up to do on our car too as far as suspension goes Not sure I want it to be like the White Porker GT3 from last night

We need to start a campaign with Pirelli to get you some tires. The amount of calls we've gotten since your write up on them... they must have had a "spike" in sales of the Corsa System

 

Hey Sharky, I know that 1/4 mile times isn't your goal by any means, but have you taken the 3.9 1/4 mile times just to get an idea what it'll do vs. stock? Even though it's not the best barometer, it's one that most of us can relate to. Just curious, thanks!

 

Hey Scott, I haven't but I've done my fair share of drag racing... As far as a barometer goes we know that a Lambo Gallardo SL does 124-125mph and having raced one I'd say ours was in that same range maybe 126mph

 

Simply awesome!!! Would that translate to probably low 11's? Maybe even high 10's with a really good driver?

 

You called it She does go well in a straight line too...

 

Okay, I haven’t driven the 3.9 for two weeks now as I had a little off with my 29er which resulted in 3 broken ribs and very sprained back, two sprained wrist and one sprained ankle. Went to PT this morning and got the back loosened up nicely so took the GT3 out for a short drive this afternoon. Conditions were far from perfect, roads still damp from two days of fog and the ribs and back are still a little tender so I went for a short, 57 mile, drive up one of my favorite roads. The thing that impressed me mostly today was the low end torque in second and third gear! Absolutely incredible compared too the stock 3.6. I had to be a little frugal on the gas due to the wet roads but did manage a few runs up too the new 8800 RPM redline!! This thing pulls all the way too the top, just a thing of beauty!! Also, for any of you thinking about this mod I will say again how happy I am with the 325’s on the rear and with the Pirellis. They really instill confidence for me on wet surfaces. After 13 sets of the MPSC’s I highly recommend the Corsa system over them. So if the weather holds I may venture out tomorrow for an all day drive. I’ll see how the old body feels in the morning. I don’t know how Walter does this day in and day out. Maybe he doesn’t ride mountain bikes!!

 

Bummer to hear about your accident on the mtn bike, good luck on a quick recovery. Sounds like you got the best treatment from the Dr., Dr. Ferry Porsche that is!

 

29 er...
man, you are progressive.
what frame?

i like the twichy 26".
i ride ... well i rode moots... thus "mooty"

also seven, merlin, serotta and colnago.
but i haven't ridden for a long time....lazy

 

It's a Marin Nail Trail. Don't know how well I like it as it high-sided me off a bridge about 2 miles into my first ride. So I got 2 miles out then 2 miles back before the pain set in! May give it another try tomorrow if the ribs feel good in the morning!! I wonder why my kids refuse to ride with me in the GT3 or going MB riding with me??

 

Great review on what is clearly the must have engine mod for the well heeled GT3 owner. Unfortunately this mod is still some way off for me as I save for it. Still enjoying the stock engine but will definitely consider the mod once the engine is due for an overhaul...

As for the Corsa's, yup am riding on them and love them too. 3 track days later and a couple of drives in the rain and the tires still delight me....
