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:

Great job and nicely done! Would love to have that one on my driveway.

Engineering porn

White gt2rs= love machine!!!

Do want!

Sweet

Its Perfect

You can say that again and I'd ship it right to Alex and crew! :golfclap:

Perfection.

Sweeet! Nice work, guys.

Very cool! now it's even more perfect

Aye Porsche did it right...
Hehe thanks man. The more GT2RS' the better:P Only the fourth one we've seen;(
Thanks!
Yes it gets that way... they come in and then they leave;(
Hah...
We all would. It's a BEAST...
No it isn't eh?!
Thank you!
Aye it's bloody quick... Seriously an intense machine!

Alex,
Post some power and performance numbers from the EVOMS tune if possible. And if any dyno's have been done. I'm curious what they get out of the car. I sat in a lengthy discussion with Preuninger on how they tuned the car and how mods to the car would likely reduce power. I didn't really believe it, but he sounded convincing, and he should know plenty. I actually didn't install my exhaust due to his comments.

Absolutely and I know what you and he are saying. The exhaust is already brilliant and no point in changing it. High flow cats and headers would help some... However the biggest issue with the tune is on 91. It just doesn't make the power it's supposed to. It just doesn't... Indeed one of the things necessary is to take a couple of points of timing away and it'll make more power:( crazy but Todd was able to make some good power indeed. I think he posted dynes earlier in the year but I'll dig em out:)

The headers ar exactly the same as on the 415hp 2001 996tt right down to the part number:) No way he can say that those turbos were meant to go with those headers that they've have for 11 years heh:)

LOL. Savyboy might not like to see that comment.

Moar because moar !

Stun-ning! Simply perfect.

nothing but the best from you guys. i always love looking at projects coming out of the shop.

I think Clear Sides would make it that much faster...

But still one BadA$$ Porsche.

:whistle: You are too kind! :whistle: I would of course immediately ship it to Sharky for some tweaks.

Damn, nice!
