Hope to see you at future events. I am trying to figure out a way of getting as many of us GT2/GT3/TT owners out to each event as possible. Having so many of us at each event is great for figuring out what setup is working best, what tires, temperatures etc.. We can all share information to make ALL of our Cars better.
Thanks Graham

I know of a good body shop with signal green paint Your 6 GT2 looks amazing too and I just love your wheels! Wish I could have a trailer to haul couple hooters much like your setup

I will be at Laguna again on 2/25 with NCRC. Love to learn more from ya in the future

I will be there.. Maybe we could do a lead/follow and then talk about lines, braking points, turn-in points etc...

I think I'll stick with Silver... If I copied your RS paint scheme, people would get REALLY confused..

lead follow will be cool but you will have to slow down a bit. I can't go sub 1:40 yet

My goal is to go below 1:45 next time and I will put my PCCB back on and perhaps Wevo engine mounts to get rid of engine/tranny movement so I don't grind from 2nd to 3rd.

Yeah, keep your silver ... we have too many green GT's around here lol. 997 GT2 seats will look amazing in your ride

If you put back the PCCB's, then you will HAVE to get the Porsche Motorsports Green compound pads.. If you use the stock pads at the track, you will destroy them and hurt the rotors (the stock pads will get too hot at the track and then crumble and chunk). The PCCB's with Greens are bloody brilliant.

Yes, it will not be stock pads but something even better than the green pads ...

Sure, will try too... Keep buggin him, being a Spurs fan he's a little shy these days

BTW, you never answered my question about the drives you have. I am looking to bring the wifey on a nice drive with a few other GTer's. Nothing propeller head, more a nice driver and a pub lunch.

Mike - are you running your rear wing at full tilt yet? If not, you might try it - you will get amazing speed through the corners and will not hurt your top speed at Laguna much at all.

Aha... Yes, answering your actual question would be useful..

I randomly decide that it would be fun to have Brunch at Alice's Restaurant with a few Porsche owners and we eat then do a loop out to the Coast and back, visiting my "secret" road and driving spiritedly through some twisties... nothing too fast, just enough to get the blood pumping..

P.M. me your info and I'll let you know when we go out next.

I am curious…. Does the GT3 (non RS) have an adjustable rear wing?
