TPC Racing : 997.2 GT3 RS Test Drive and Chassis Diagnosis
We here at TPC are big fans of GT3s... Sure, we add turbos to many cars(500hp Caymans), make huge power 911 Turbos that do 10s in the 1/4, and do all sorts of tweaks... But one thing always has us drooling... the 911 GT3. For some of you that may not know... Our #1 priority is race cars...
Here is a video of us winning the 24hr of Daytona in 2006(have the watch and trophy to prove it)
YouTube - TPC Racing WINS THE 2006 ROLEX 24!!!!!!!
So that brings us to this... Bettering Street Cars. We do a lot of work with a company called JRZ, all of our cup cars feature JRZ suspension, we work directly with the Netherlands doing testing and design for their products, even help them shake out prototype pieces.
However... There are other ways to get a lot more performance out of your GT3 Street Car w/o switching out your factory PASM dampers. We put this system together...
TPC Racing GT2/3/RS Track Package

The system includes 2 Springs, Rear Toe Links and our Race Proven/Winning adjustable sway bars(bars work with all 997 variants(996 available also))
Here is a test drive and diagnosis of a 2010 997 GT3 RS that recently came in for work. It is a bit of a long video but sit back and relax, definitely some good info to take in! BTW, recommend switching up to watching it in 720p!

Nice footage.
You can always make a factory car better if you know what purpose youre looking for.
These guys want to make the car more stable for road racing. That s ok if youre mostly drive on racetracks.
I like what porsche did. Because i like a car which i can battle with. I like a car which is willing to drift in and out of corners etc. A very well track balanced car is fast but less entertaining. Because it s made to have the best grip get as early on throttle as possible and the back stay s. Very nice for racing.
If grip is youre search, you can certainly better the car. But in the long run youre better off buying a porsche cup car and go on full slicks
GT3 and RS are made for road and track and entertain you. Porsche did a very well job because it does all pretty darn good.
