GT3 for track

I am looking at a possible 10 GT3 for some tracking. Does anyone here know, or can they find out, what the downforce is on the regular wing versus the RS wing? And weight difference? I had an RS for about 7 months, and the car was very stable. I would like that same feeling on this car as well.

While on this subject, does anyone know a good place to buy the engine cover with a cup wing for a decent price and not the Porsche gouging numbers?

I am also looking at some 07's, so I am wondering the same questions and trying to compare.



Thanks for any help.

Hoehn here in Carlsbad, CA has a 2007 GT3 in Red for sale thats an absolute beauty!

Used 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 For Sale | Carlsbad CA

As far as the rear wing, it does provide and increased amount of downforce compared to the standard GT3 but the figures i am not sure of. I did a brief search but came up empty handed!

Let me know if your interested in that Red GT3, i can put you in touch with the guys over there

I have spent time on track in all variations of the GT3. I have never had a downforce issue with the standard wing. I recommendation is to slap a .1 RS wing on a GT3.1.
Good luck and maybe see you at the track!

Ok, thanks for the replies so far. I bought a 2010 GT3 for a deal. Great deal. Has Sharkwerks race exhaust, GMG cage, etc. I'm changing the camber and setup now. I am just trying to see if a wing is worth the cost or not, and some opinions. Now I'm looking for a deal on some 18's centerlocks.

It's a white GT3. No pics yet. Main thing I like is the sharkwerks full race exhaust. Man that is loud. Loud is good. Has a GMG cage and adjustable lower control arms. Just needs seats and harnesses.

Just wondering, did you buy the .2 GT3 in Arizona?
So what happened with the GT3RS?

Long story made short:

I sold the GT3 RS because the market was tanking and I needed to get ready for the 2 RS coming. It was at the dealer, and I decided I would not give the car away, so I told em to install my Hoosiers and I was coming to pick it up. Between that time and trying to load my trailer to get, someone called and bought the car at asking price. So I let it fly. Truthfully, the economy sucks right now and I could use the money. I was going to buy an 07 GT3 and gut it out for tracking or buy a Spec Boxster and do some racing. While thinking about that, a buddy of mine called and said he was bailing on his GT3 to get a Lexus. The dealer offered nothing. It was track ready but had never tracked the car. I couldn't pass up the price. I did not pay 6 figures for the car and it has a lightweight flywheel, GMG cage, adjustable lower control arms, sharkwerks race exhaust, full leather, white console, etc. Brand new.
