nice project build so far

 

Quick update.
Went to the track today (Laguna Seca, Monday, December 14, 2009), and at first we thought the weather was not going to cooperate, as it rained heavy over the weekend, and even late into the morning today. But, when we got to the track, it hadn't rained in a couple of hours, and the clouds were starting to part.
The first groups went out and the track was damp, but drying. By 9am, a dry line was starting to appear, and no real puddles anywhere, and the sun started to peak through.
We had a total of 7 cars as part of our group gathered at the track (our 2010 GT3, 996 TT, 997TT, Cayman, Boxster, a Vette, an Evo MR).
We were also given the treat of seeing Porsche NA testing the Boxster spyder...as they were using the track for test drives, and a magazine article test.
But...about our 2010 GT3....the car was simply AMAZING. The weather turned to spectacular by late morning, and remained clear for the rest of the day. By 11am, the track was fully dry, even on the berms, and the track was in great shape.
The car performed flawlessly, and was FAST. The only downside was not being able to hear the full sound of the exhaust due to the sound limits in force at Laguna, which meant we were running the OEM exhaust.

Both of us (Robb and Bruce) drove for a total of 10 sessions or run groups, and took over 12 people for rides in the car. Never once dropped a wheel wrong, nor had any problems, and we were in the fastest group of the day, and didn't get passes by anyone or anything. We ate up GT2's, other GT3's, Vette's, a Dodge Viper, and whatever else was out there. The car was astonishingly stable, the Stoptech brakes stopped very aggressively, the GMG parts really helped settle the car, the cup car rear wing provided a great amount of downforce, the new front lip really helps the front to stay planted, even under aggressive turn-in, and we beat the crap out of brakes and new Hoosiers all day long. Handling was wonderful, but we do have some slight dialing in that we need to do at the limit....but the new suspension coming should help us address that.

We ran through the various suspension and car control options so that we could explore the limits in each condtion (sport, pasm, tc, etc), and learned tons, but the limit or when the systems kick in is very unobtusive.

Video should be posted by tomorrow.....what FUN, the car is just a HOOT, will be smiling for days to come. Can't wait for the next time out.

 

^ Motons?

 

It is just ridiculous!

 

Won't be Motons....they are wonderful, work great, and have been fully tested and proven. We feel there is a need for a like product, w the same or better technology, quality, and fitment, but w more adjustment for the normal track warrior, but also at a slightly lower price point. They will be upgradeable from single, to dual, to triple without having to replace the shocks or struts...which is one of the key product elements that most systems do not provide today...once you buy it, you get only that solution, and if you want more....you're stuck.
If it weren't for the weather, we would see some testing earlier.....we're just trying to expand the product set for Porsche customers w great products that deliver great value. Look for more on this.....abnd more about the new wheels too.

 

I love this project. All I can say is MOREEEEEEEEE!
