Teamspeed.com - SharkWerks rides again...this time a 997 GT2RS!

This lovely white 997 GT2RS is going to see both track and street duty so a few choice Shark Werks modifications are going to help it along nicely. Although the stock suspension harbors some of Porsche's finest components to date, this top of the line banshee still has neoprene bushes on the dog bone ends of its rear links as well as the annoying excentric bolt on the lower arm that changes the toe angle under hard cornering. The fix for that is simple and the same as on any modern 911 with our rear links. For more power (as if it needed it!) we also fine tuned the car for 91 octane with the EVOMSit software.

The carbon hood, wider front wheel arches and carbon side vents can mean only one thing- the GT2RS is here:

Number 267 to be precise:

Yes it's got the red motif going on inside too:

Up on the lift she goes and here we have the business end of the rear. The factory rear links and ends with their softer neoprene ends are designed to have some play/flex/give and the same parts as on most 996 and 997 Carreras.

Off with those factory rear links:

Now with the rear dog bones installed:

There is one difference with the factory GT2RS (and 4.0 RS) rear lower link. The ends are indeed solid although the excentric bolt is still there to turn its ugly bolt head when you don't want it. So on with the RSS Bump steer kit and lock out plates:

Now it's out with the Shark Werks flashing station which is hooked up to the OBDII port:

The EVOMSit performance software is loaded on and not only is there additional power but we've enabled left-foot braking (no more throttle body cut out) and given the throttle more edge to match up more with the factory single mass flywheel:

She's good to go... feels a stronger and smoother than the factory tune on 91 (vs the 93 it was intended for). Next up will be a another set of wheels dedicated for the track:
