So the star of the show is a 2010 Porsche 911 (997) GT3. It's a tremendously rewarding car to drive and is just amazing fun. It's hard to describe just how good it is. Suffice to say, it's way better than I am.
The car has some of the lighter options, or lack of options:
- Carbon ceramic brakes which are much maligned by some GT3 owners, but I love them. They save 44lbs over steel brakes and use the same pads for track and street.
- Carbon fibre sport bucket seats. Very limited adjustment but light and work very well with harnesses.
- No front end lift, which means lots of scraping of the front splitter on every driveway and gas station entrance
- No nav.
- White paint - which, believe it or not, is the lightest color.
It is mostly stock with only the following additions:
- GMG Racing by-pass exhaust. It's lighter and sounds fabulous but gives no performance gain.
- GMG Racing bolt in roll cage in red powder coat.
- Schroth, GT3 specific, 6 point harnesses.
- Oz Racing Ultralegerra (ultra-light) wheels in black.
- Suspension lowered by 10mm and camber set at -2.5 all around.
- Racing SRF brake fluid.
Here are the seats and harnesses:
And here is the roll cage being fitted:
And here it is with the stock wheels on.
