For those of you not familiar with "The Colonel" this should bring you up to speed. Starting with a recap of the first build, which was done some time ago, we will take you thru to the second build which is currently underway.

Part 1. (Recap)

“The Colonel”

This Particular 997.2 GT3RS was shipped to RSS/Stuttgart Performance from the South. “The Colonel” as he is known, asked that we build it to NASA Spec. This class has a strict weight to horse power ratio that must be maintained in order to run the series.

This should be an interesting build, with a few surprises along the way. Stay tuned for a Southern Fried GT3 RS build…

Waiting its turn....





Let the mods begin!

The Colonel's Secret Recipe...
When we lifted the decklid, we found the secret to this RS.. it must be a bio-fuel vehicle, Porsche GT3 R Hybrid watch out!

 

While the factory carbon buckets are very nice, they are quite uncomfortable when using a Hans Device, especially for drivers over 6ft tall. Since this RS will will see 90% track duty, we opted for the proper seats. These seats also prove a weight advantage.







We installed the RSS Seat Base Kit to mount the seat as low as possible while retaining seat slider functionality.

RSS Seat Base Kit: (Part #925)
- Designed to work specifically with Recaro sliders and uprights
- Precise fitment for 986/987/996/997 chassis floor pan
- Allows low seating position for taller drivers

 

Car is coming along nicely. Good luck with the rest of the build!

 

Thanks for the kind words, I will post more pics..

 

A few items getting ready for a color shift...

We will be spraying the Wing Endplates, Wing Uprights, Side Mirrors and Front Center Grill Surround in a Rich Satin Black Finish...

Mirrors off, from red to black:

 

Red and white seems so long ago.

lol rep for this...hilarious

 

when I pictured "The Colonel" I was expecting an army green with black accents GT3RS but this is just as awesome.

 

Funny you mention that...using that idea for a future project...

 

The Colonel is after some considerable weight loss so he requested the Shark Werks 997 GT3 Track Exhaust which shaves a real 57 lbs. off the rear and adds a very aggressive sound.

It replaces the factory center section and side mufflers while utilizing the factory headers and catalysts...

We will grab a few sound clips toward the end of the build...

The Shark Werks Track Exhaust is really clucking light...

Ready to go:
