It sounds fab and best of all there's no resonance. If you need/want to you can turn the valves into closed mode and it sounds pretty much like stock Glad you like it and for sure let us know if/when you want to try it. If for some reason you don't like it we can always take it back

 

Day 5 California
The additional power and responsiveness after the serious work was completed at EVOMS was put to good use- in the rain. Nothing like a welcome home rain shower upon entering California. Who says a GT3RS on Pilot Sport Cups doesn't work well in the rain?


One thing is for sure California has its fair share of good roads and beautiful scenery too:



Once we got to LA I had trouble finding a good welcome sign but I figured a Panamera Turbo would suffice and show that Hollywood was near by...


Before getting to the grapevine we couldn't resist a bit of Roller Coaster action:


We didn't start the fire:


Toilet break. Was it "The Bomb" burrito from last night?


Another hour another beautiful mountain. James can't help but look in awe:


James is a fit lad and any chance he gets to stretch he does just that:


His iphone getting a work-out as well:


This right here along the I-5 freeway probably isn't the nicest site of our journey. It's pretty much the smelliest too:


Almost home now...


What a trip, what a country, what a car! I still cannot think of a more fun way to break-in one of these Metzger GT3 engines. The entire package was comfortable, reliable and just downright fun to drive across a good portion of America. We even managed to get our Stage 1 Performance (Exhaust and EVOMSit) kit completed along the way so it wasn't all "play".

 

That sounds good. I have tried the sports button on my RS, but do not notice a difference in sound or stiffness. Am I missing something?
It was obvious in my tts when the car was in sports mode, but not in the GT3.

 

The difference should be most noticeable with a cold start at idle. Start your car with Sport off, listen to the tone then hit the button a couple seconds later. The sound should change. If not, the valves might be disconnected under the car.

The stiffness is effected when you hit the other button that shows a Shock. It will be most noticeable on a bouncy road.

 

I hope your first stop is at Premiere for some proper protection! That pretty blue tape will last about five miles on the loop!!

 

This is just a short test of the incredible 2011 Porsche GT3RS brought to EVOMS for some intelligent tuning this weekend. While trying to test blending HD and NON-HD clips, we thought you'd all like a reminder why small cameras, "do" need a tripod. Hey, how about that "Sharkwerks powered office chair" dolly shot, huh??

More to come shortly. A great car and great to have Alex, James and Dan come through Arizona for "drive thru" tuning!!

 

Alex and Todd, you boys are like Speilberg and Cameron, freaking awesome movie production and movie machines.....too fun to watch and listen!!!

 

Hey i can vouch for sharky....

Ok so if you want to hear an exhaust note, roll ur windows down, hit the sport button and drop a gear or two....if you dont wnt it, roll up ur windows, turn off the sport and shift to fifth or sixth.....quiet as a church mouse and suitable for phone calls and lesiurely conversation.....

For me, its always on, the windows are down and i am in third gear at 5000-8000 rpm all day long.....

My point is i dont understand the question, arent race cars supposed to be loud.....JK

 

Normally when I see a "blue screen", my computer shuts down....this one had a great sound-track!! One of those small tripods will do the trick Looking forward to the next installment!!!

 

Haha that was some funny stuff by the EVOMS crew I thought we were prepared and had it all for that trip but they found the ONE thing we didn't have!
Hehe good one and indeed we had such a good time with our in sport mode

Haha... we do try to be silly don't we?

As always fellas you guys are so fun to be around and your enthusiasm for all things new, challenging knows no bounds. We have conjured up some very neat plans for the future eh? And of course thanks as always for helping us get more HP! The car runs creamy good!

Haha... that is true. First stop bob detail!

 

SharkWerks picked up their 1 of 4 Gulf-inspired 2011 Porsche 997 GT3RS and via Route 66 made a bee line straight for Tempe, AZ. Why would they do that?

In the quest for more horsepower they pitched their Tee-Pees by the Dyno at the home of the EVOMS intelligent tuning, or "E-V-O-M-S-i-t" for those not in the know. With a strong baseline 424rwhp (450hp crank) and 270 torque (317TQ crank), Sharkwerks' goal for Zuccone was to utilize his tuning prowess along with a SharkWerks exhaust and eke out even more power. The mission was accomplished with a live tune garnering an additional 16rwhp and 13tq to the wheels on an already highly strung GT3 motor and all on 91 octane. As well as improved throttle response left-foot braking was enabled with even smoother drivability.

Now that car is back at Sharkwerks for additional development... stay tuned!

 

i need to get one of those sharkwerks exhausts that everyone keeps talking about...

 

Congratulations Alex!

You know blue tape is for painters right?

I think day one on the 580 will bring you more damage then driving half way across the country. Biggest hits on my car have been on the 880 going through Oakland (broken windshield) and on the 580, body chips and a broken driving light on my way home from your shop.

 

Sounds like a great trip in a beautiful RS. But no stop in Vegas?

 

Hehe consider it done mate
Hah that's right it is man. And a good thing it matches eh? We actually got back and the report from the detailer is we did a great job. No chips/damage and just a lot of fun. As far as 880 and stuff you are SO right. I remember one trip in Kermit out to AZ and no sooner did we get on the 580 and BAM....

It was pretty epic Sorry no Vegas this time but this counts right?
